Converting
Converting in an important step you should always use to help keep coins from coming back to your real identity. As stated before you should always try to stick with Monero (XMR) when possible. However some vendors or services do not accept XMR, in the case you can safely convert back to bitcoin and be on your way. For some it is just easier to buy bitcoin from an exchange with your real identity. We can break the chain so that these coins are no longer linked to your identity.
After everything that happened with elude and kilos, we recommend checking back here before each exchange. Before converting it’s a good idea to check to make sure they are not having any known issues, and there is no reports of scams. We will update this page the moment and service is reported to be having a problem.
Non-KYC Crypto Exchanges
There are a few different places you can find link aggregators for services that will convert your coins, without requiring personal information. The two most widly used services are XChange and StealthEX. They are both highly recommended, widely trusted, and have low fees. Monero.Forex maintains an up-to-date list of Non-KYC Exchanges that list Monero. You can also visit our sister XMR guide that has a list.
Note XMR should always be your first option. If this is not an option Litecoin is a good starting coin. Remember both bitcoin and Litecoin are easily traced, but Litecoin has lower fees.
Elude and Kilos have exit scammed. Do not use them!
