✅ Kraken Exchanges › Centralized Exchanges (Account Required)5/5 OfficialKraken is the most reliable way to buy and sell Monero with a bank account in the US.
Test performed: sending XMR and having it deposited into a bank account. They require about 1 hour worth of confirmations for deposits, 32 confirmations.
They offer various trading options with market buys and an order book with limit orders, also leverage.
They will require full KYC to sign up. This includes handing over your ID (drivers license or passport) and doing a video verification. You will need to link a bank account. Some of their processes may auto detected your bank account based on your phone number. If your goal is having no trace whatsoever, you should not use Kraken. But, if you need to use the fiat system and are fine with the tax implications, this is going to be the way to do it.
Kraken offers both personal and business accounts. The business accounts require very extensive documentation. If you're going to make a real Monero business that proxies buying and selling with Monero, like with gift cards or something similar, you will need to go this route.
Overall, if you are serious about trading or making a legitimate business in the US, this is the only reliable choice.Author: D805…7095 • -

✅ Servers Guru Web Hosting › VPS Hosting1/5Just another reseller looking to get their cut, don't even bother.
You can get the exact same service for less money by buying from the companies they resell from:
Royale Hosting: Netherlands
Hetzner: Both German Locations and Finland Location
Virtual Systems (Vsys): Singapore
Crunchbits: Spokane WA
Fiberstate: Salt Lake City
Servarica: Montreal, Canada
All is evidenced by checking the traceroutes and IP ownership.
Never waste your time with resellers. No effort has been made to develop their own infrastructure or network, it doesn't even seem like they own their own IP addresses or have their own ASN, which for a company that has existed for a couple of years, is complete laziness.
All they're here for is to charge you more for the same service so they can make a profit for themselves, and make false promises about freedom and privacy, when companies like hetzner are known to allow traffic sniffing by authorities, and Vsys's owner is in big legal trouble. Not to mention that having used their VPS, it's terrible value for money and performs like crap, which is the reason I cancelled.
Buy from someone who actually gives a shit about their company.Author: 2211…0057 • • 1 reply -
✅ SageSwap Exchanges › Instant Swaps (No Account)3/5Misleading fees, floating rate is 1.5% when "get rate" then changes to 3-3.5% fee when they send it to you. NORMAL swap mode. Proof in linked order url. Support told me they won't give me the difference. Happened 3x in a row.
They did refund some funds that failed the check instead of stealing them from me, therefore not a terrible rating.Author: FE43…34BF • • 4 replies -
