Since LocalMonero shut down in May 2024 and AgoraDesk followed in November 2024, the P2P Monero landscape has fragmented across multiple platforms. Meanwhile, centralized exchanges continue delisting XMR under MiCA and Travel Rule pressure — Kraken, Binance, and OKX have all reduced or removed Monero support in regulated jurisdictions.
P2P trading solves this. No exchange can delist your right to trade directly with another person. No KYC forms, no withdrawal limits, no account freezes. Cash by mail and face-to-face trading have worked for decades — they predate every exchange that has since shut down.
With 683 completed trades and 100% feedback across LocalMonero and AgoraDesk, I bring years of proven experience to a market that needs trustworthy counterparties more than ever. Escrow via Haveno multisig means you never have to trust me with your funds — the protocol enforces fair settlement.
Send EUR in a registered letter from anywhere in Europe. Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Ireland, Finland, Greece, and all other EU member states. EFTA/EEA countries (Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein, Iceland) also accepted.
Registered mail provides tracking, proof of delivery, and insurance. Typical delivery time: 2-5 business days within the EU.
In-person meetings available in the following cities and surrounding areas:
Meeting points are always public locations (cafes, train stations, public squares). Safety first for both parties.
You send EUR cash in a registered/tracked letter to a designated address. Once received, XMR is released to your wallet (or vice versa for selling). Registered mail provides tracking and insurance. Typical delivery within the EU takes 2-5 business days.
Escrow is available via Haveno (RetoSwap or DawnSwap), which uses 2-of-3 multisig. Both parties and a neutral arbitrator each hold one key. Funds can only be released when 2 of 3 parties agree. This means neither party can steal funds unilaterally.
Flexible. Contact me with any amount and we can discuss. Both small and large trades are welcome.
The premium covers the operational costs and risk of P2P cash trading: cash handling, mail insurance, time, and counterparty risk management. This is standard for P2P markets and significantly cheaper than the hidden fees and spread on centralized exchanges once you factor in withdrawal limits and KYC compliance costs.
My trading history is independently verifiable via the Wayback Machine. I previously traded as chingchongfalung on LocalMonero (379 trades) and AgoraDesk (683 trades, cumulative). Both archives are linked above and cannot be faked. Same PGP key on both platforms proves same operator.
Cash by Mail is available to all EU/EEA countries. Face-to-Face meetings are available in the Rhine-Main metropolitan area and Southwest Germany: Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Mannheim, Heidelberg, Karlsruhe, Freiburg, and Strasbourg (France).

Always use registered/tracked mail. This provides proof of delivery, a tracking number, and insurance coverage. In the rare event of loss, the postal insurance covers the value. We only process trades against confirmed registered mail deliveries.
Yes — that's the whole point of P2P trading. You need only a Monero wallet (Feather Wallet, Cake Wallet, or the official GUI wallet) and cash. No exchange account, no bank verification, no identity documents. Download a wallet, generate an address, and contact me to start a trade.
Face-to-face: minutes. Cash by mail within Germany: 1-2 business days for delivery, XMR released same day upon receipt. Cross-border EU mail: 2-5 business days. Once cash is confirmed, XMR is sent immediately — Monero transactions confirm in under 2 minutes.
Peer-to-peer trading of cryptocurrency for cash between private individuals is legal in Germany and across the EU. No commercial license is required for occasional private transactions. The MiCA regulation applies to centralized exchanges and custodial services, not to private peer-to-peer trades.
LocalMonero shut down in May 2024 and AgoraDesk followed in November 2024. Both platforms ceased operations voluntarily. The P2P Monero community has since migrated to decentralized alternatives: Haveno (RetoSwap, DawnSwap), XMRBazaar, OpenMonero, and direct P2P trading via Telegram, Signal, and Matrix.
Haveno uses 2-of-3 multisig escrow. When a trade begins, both the buyer and seller deposit funds into a multisig wallet. Three keys exist: yours, mine, and a neutral arbitrator's. Releasing funds requires 2 of 3 keys, so neither party can steal. If a dispute arises, the arbitrator reviews evidence and sides with the honest party. This is the gold standard for trustless P2P trading.
