We decided to post an easy to understand and easy to use guide on how to obtain and use Monero. Since Monero is privacy oriented and unlike other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, the exchanges are encrypted and private. So much so that the IRS is offering a nearly $1 million reward for anyone who can develop them a software to break Monero’s encryption. Even though we had these instructions on our donation page, we feel a post such as this is important since Monero can be and should be our currency of use. It’s private, easy to use and makes the system seethe.
Step 1: Get a cryptocurrency to exchange for Monero
Any cryptocurrency can be used for this although it’s recommended to just use the mainstream coins such as Bitcoin or Etherum for this. We recommend Litecoin as Litecoin is the quickest and cheapest for exchanging. You can obtain these easily at any exchange. Coinbase being the easiest to work with with the lowest fees when buying Bitcoin. For more resources on buying mainstream coins physically including stuff on Bitcoin ATMs see here. You could also use Coinstar (that green machine you see in Grocery Stores and at Walmart that counts your change) to use physical cash to purchase Bitcoin too.
Step 2: Move your coins from the exchange to a private wallet
This is optional for an extra step. Finding a private mainstream coin wallet you download on your computer is an extra step for the coins you are using for exchanging if you’re afraid of bans. Exchanges where you’re buying mainstream coins for example here though. You’re just buying the coins then converting them into Monero which is going into a private wallet anyways so hence the optional aspect. Even if you get banned, you didn’t lose any money anyways so who cares?
Step 3: Get a Monero Wallet
Getting a private wallet that you have control over is pretty easy and needed for this step obviously. You can easily look up wallets to use. We recommend FeatherWallet.
Step 4: Exchanging your coins for Monero
This is pretty easy to do. To make this as simple as possible just go to https://changenow.io/ and use their cryptocurrency exchange to exchange things like Bitcoin/Etherum/Litecoin (we recommend Litecoin) for Monero by sending in your currency then having them exchange that for Monero and send that Monero to your Monero wallet. Usually the exchange minimum, although changes, usually stays between $20-$30 as a minimum. With ChangeNow taking a tiny cut of at most a couple dollars from our experience as a fee but this depends on how much you’re sending, sometimes it’s even cheaper and nearly free in the fee cut.
Step 5: Converting Monero back into Cash
This step is pretty easy as it is just doing what you did to obtain Monero but in reverse. Simply go back to an exchange like we recommended with https://changenow.io/ but just send your Monero in for whatever cryptocurrency of your choosing to your private wallet that you’re in control of then transferring that coin to an exchange to cash out from your wallet or even going to a physical location such as a Crypto ATM (Which ATMs have higher fees but you get physical cash on the spot) and there you go. You successfully turned your cash into a regular mainstream cryptocurrency then turned that into Monero then reversed the process to turn it back into cash.
Step 6: Congratulations!
Congratulations! You now have the knowledge to easily buy and use the cryptocurrency Monero as you please. As pointed out in Tim Turtle’s Parallel Polis article. The need to build a parallel society for our movement is needed. This included building our own financial systems that aren’t owned by Jews, which with coins such as Monero, is possible. This is why those in power fear Monero and have seethed time and time again over this. From mainstream journalistic outlets warning of us using Monero. To the SPLC whining and crying over Monero being widely adopted and how they can’t just call their Jewish cousins at the Bank to shut us down anymore.
Hail Victory!
