This post is to bring more awareness of the important feature that XMR brings to the table. I have been seeing posts of exchanges now offering Monero as a form of payment. Some of you may know what it is, for those of you who don't, it's a crypto-currency that offers a Necessity for the DNM community... Hidden transactions.
There are blockchain experts skilled in tracking blockchain transactions. Is somebody going to go through all that work for your G of herb, probably not. But with crypto-currencies gaining traction and the technology advancing, so must OpSec procedures. It wont be long until a program is developed to do the work for someone skilled in block chain movements. You wont have to deal with the long wait and risk of using mixing services neither.
I am happy to see this becoming a viable option, and I hope to see this become the new standard. If you are unaware of monero please check it out and even request it at your go to exchanges if you feel security and privacy are important.
TL;DR: Read up on monero (XMR). It could save your ass in the future.
Millions in bitcoin have been stolen from marketplaces and exchanges through the years, which hasn't lead to anyone ever being caught from it. Bitcoin can be made anonymous with mixers or coinjoin, that's all that matters for DNMs.
