Been searching for hours, can't find a way to buy Zcash without KYC. I’m done with KYC nonsense. Had my MEXC account frozen for "suspicious profits" because I made some good trades.

If you're using USDT or another crypto, there are definitely no KYC options. But for fiat? Good luck, that's gonna be tricky. Also, Unstoppable wallet has added some DEXs for Monero and Zcash.

You could also use Cake wallet, but I prefer Unstoppable. They say the exchanges are KYC-free, but just be careful, some of them might slip it in there.

Funny how all these new exchanges promise the future but freeze accounts whenever they feel like it. Honestly, get a self-custody wallet first. If you don't have Zashi or YWallet, grab them. You’ll need privacy tools. Then get Litecoin or Sol on P2P or an ATM, swap for ZEC using THORSwap or Simple.

P2P exchanges usually want some KYC. There are some that ask for minimal KYC, but if you’re scared from your MEXC experience, talk to someone offline. Just check their rep.

I wouldn’t trust StealthEX, it has bad ratings on kycnot.me. Heard they freeze funds and demand KYC too. Same goes for SimpleSwap, just not worth it. Better safe than sorry.

Why Zcash and not Monero? Zcash is just riding the hype wave right now while Monero is the king of privacy coins. Long-term, Monero will win out. Check out KYCnot.me for Monero options.

MEXC is a no-go. They've got a bad rep for freezing funds and pushing KYC on users.

Others have thrown out great ideas. Personally, I like P2P too, but you gotta build trust over time. Quick question for OP, why Zcash? Is it just for investing or do you plan to use it?
