I searched high and low for a way to buy Monero anonymously after LocalMonero shut down. How can I get my hands on some without giving ID? Any sites that don’t require verification would be awesome. Thanks in advance!

Quick tip: the easiest way to grab Monero or even Zcash is through instant exchanges. I’ve had great luck with darkchange.io. Super smooth, plenty of liquidity, and no KYC nonsense.
Have you looked into Bisq? It’s a solid option. Also, Trêvoid’s Swap Service is worth checking out. Just be careful with ChangeNow, though. They’ve got a bad rep lately and ask for KYC as soon as you deposit. Just because you’ve used it without issues doesn’t mean it’s trustworthy.
I posted about this recently. There’s a site called kycnot.me that lists exchanges. It lets you see which sites let you swap Monero for other coins without the KYC hassle. Honestly, ChangeNow is among the worst. Avoid it.
Yeah, kycnot.me is your best bet for finding no KYC exchanges for Monero. Just use the filters to find what you need. ChangeNow has a sketchy background with lots of scam reports. Not worth it!
