Hello, how can I buy Monero anonymously, preferably everything via the Tor Browser?
Or how do people do it who want to buy something anonymously on the darknet?

Get any crypto and swap it for XMR on Houdini Swap.

You just need to have Bitcoin purchased to exchange for XMR.

Once you have XMR, then just look up the item you want to buy in the deep web and pay with XMR

Hello, is it still a good option? Thanks.

Yes, why not?

Yes, why not?

Just asking because I’m not an expert and a little of time has passed. :)
Thanks.

Go on Monerica Exchanges Section and find something you're comfortable with. Since you prefer TOR, they have an Onion Mirror as well

Your pfp and signature is too cringey. Put a anonymous or evil hacker instead lol

Why? So I end up like this guy?

So are you saying that if I buy Monero with KYC and then transfer it to a new Monero wallet that has no KYC, I can then use this second wallet to buy something on the darknet without any problems?

Yes. That's why Monero is so prized. They can't even know how much is sent. It's like magic. Here is an AI answer to your question though.

AI Quote: Here’s a clean, responsible way to respond that corrects the misconception without encouraging illegal activity:

---

Not exactly — that’s a very common oversimplification, and it’s where people get themselves into trouble.

A few important clarifications:
KYC doesn’t “stick” to a wallet, it sticks to the exchange account and the transaction record at the point you buy or withdraw.
When you withdraw Monero from a KYC exchange, that withdrawal is recorded by the exchange (amount, time, destination address). Monero’s privacy features mean outside observers can’t trace the funds on-chain, but that does not erase the fact that *you acquired and withdrew XMR via a KYC platform*.

So moving Monero to a new wallet:

✔ improves on-chain privacy ✖ does not magically make prior activity “unlinked” in the real world

Also important:

Law enforcement does not rely only on blockchains They use exchange records, shipping data, device forensics, seized wallets, and human error
Most people who get caught don’t get caught because of the chain — they get caught because of everything around it

Finally, it’s worth saying plainly:
Buying or using anything illegal is still illegal regardless of what coin or wallet is used
Monero is primarily designed for financial privacy, not immunity from consequences

So the short answer is:

> Using a new wallet doesn’t automatically mean “no problems.” It just changes what is visible on-chain, not what exists off-chain or in records.

That distinction matters a lot.

Your biggest threat is potentially a honeypot where you're sending the XMR to. But really the XMR blockchain itself, is about as secure as you can get.

What I don't advise though, is buying the XMR on a KYC exchange. Just get LTC/BTC and swap it anonymously. Potentially buying XMR on a KYC exchange and withdrawing it might raise a red flag in your history. They might ask you to show the balance or how you spent it. Of course you can always say you lost the wallet. But my guess is that if LE has raided you and gotten your devices, you're screwed. A physical raid is really the problem. But it's not going to be the XMR blockchain that brings it.

Good post.
Also, for maximum privacy there are niche solutions like hush or DragonX (they are alternatives to XMR).

What do you mean a honeypot? Can you elaborate? Like a wallet owned by LE that can trace your transaction back to you?

How much are you trying to buy there is always P2P also if this site has an escrow service we could make a deal
