The issue with Majestic Bank has been that they’d advertise a certain conversion rate (e.g. XMR/USD), then jack that rate up significantly unbeknownst to you at the last second right before you hit send. Not sure if they still do that but they tried to do it to me (and others) once and I never used them again. I posted on r/monero about this a couple of years ago.

How can I not start tails-tor on OS startup? Tails is the OS. Do you mean don’t connect to a network after Tails boots to the home screen?

Which Tails folder/directory would I run those 2 commands in?

Thank you @nihilism for the step by step guide. It is much appreciated and obviously you put a lot of effort into it. BUT here’s my stunned reaction to Haveno itself. I realize that beggars can’t be choosers right now, but my first reaction is Whaaaat? This is the great Haveno we’ve all been waiting for? Where the buyer has to make a deposit??! What for? And the buyer has to register a name and physical address? I realize these can be faked but I don’t think I like that being stored digitally as opposed to just being written on the return address of an anonymously printed shipping label as it was with local monero.

I’m having the same problem using the Simplex App Image on Tails that I’m having with Retroshare. It won’t connect to the network. All the more reason to have an XMRp2p trading community set up here on monero.town.

Has anyone gotten the Retroshare App Image to work with Tails? I feel like I’m close. After I register and the app tries to connect to a retroshare node, I get a pop up with a hidden address and an onion address, but also says “Tor status: offline”. But I’m not offline. The hidden address is 9878:127.0.0.1: 27325; It seems like the port should be 9050, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to change it.

This is a great idea. Thanks for taking the initiative Mr. Canary.

I see there is an Appimage available for Linux. Does it work with Tor?

It seems to use chatwoot.app. Even Cloudflare-protected websites let me through some of the time. Does VikXMR ever come here to comment? He seems like a pretty straight shooter.

I think this is a great suggestion.

Unfortunately, many cash by mail Monero sellers leave their contact info as a telegram address on their intro page. I wish they would all have to leave an protonmail email address or some other way to contact them using Tor.
