XMR-only market · Non-KYC buying · Subaddresses · Auto-mix · No JS
Nexus is Monero-only for a reason: ring signatures and stealth addresses make chain analysis a nightmare — unlike Bitcoin. This friendly guide shows how to get XMR and deposit safely, even if you’ve never used crypto.
Use LocalMonero (peer-to-peer) or Bisq. Pay via cash, Revolut, or gift cards. Avoid KYC exchanges (Coinbase etc.) — they link ID to coins. For US/EU, LocalMonero sellers often accept Zelle/SEPA. Small test amount first!
Download Monero GUI or Feather Wallet. Write 25-word seed on paper. Never store seed in cloud. For advanced privacy: run via Tails/Whonix.
In Nexus → Wallet → “New subaddress” → copy. Send XMR from your wallet. Each deposit = new subaddress (reuse = traceable). Fee ~0.5% dynamic. Confirmations: 3 (~9 min). Check “Payment ID” is empty — Nexus uses integrated subaddresses.
Settings → Privacy → Enable auto-mix (0.3% fee). It churns your XMR once before crediting vendor — cheap privacy. Don’t use external mixers (scam risk).
BTC is pseudonymous, not private — chain analysis firms trace it. Monero uses ring signatures + stealth addresses — every tx looks identical. That’s why Nexus beats BTC markets for privacy and speed (9 min vs 2–12h withdrawals).
