Hi,

In short, since the crackdown on fiat-to-monero started, the only way to get monero that I could figure out was:

  1. Purchase Bitcoin using fiat.
  2. Purchase Monero using Bitcoin.
  3. Change Monero back to Bitcoin.
  4. Pay using Bitcoin for services that don’t accept Monero.

Could someone tell me if doing step 2 and 3 still ensures my privacy, or is it pointless? I don’t see any other way to use Monero for payments which don’t accept Monero.

Thanks.

    Thanks, I hope this is at best, an isolated incident.

    When you mail someone a money order/cash, do they get your details too? Or just your localmonero username (which I assume most of us utilise TOR to access)?
