Two Qs for ya about Monero
1. Are there any Monero wallets in FDroid? (i couldn't find any).
2. How do you suggest getting coins without going through a centralized exchange?
I looked into the protocol years ago and had to rely on cryptographers for the zero knowledge proofs because I don't grok that math (at least, not yet). I like the privacy claims, and would be happy to give it another go if it's usable.

2. Atomic swap on a dex from Bitcoin.
Long term privacy might not be as good as lightning so don’t do illegal stuff until you understand that better than I do, which maybe you do idk

Monero has a tried and tested threat model and secure design. In Lightening, everyone always knows the recipient node. In Monero, no one knows anything.
Like anything security related it's never perfect and vulns pop up but by design it is very good for privacy.
The main way Monero transactions are unmasked is by sharing the same UTXO between CeX's, so if you must use a CeX, churn your coins (send to yourself to make a new UTXO).
That's about it.
DNM admins and vendors trust their freedom to this and the smart ones with good OPSEC have been operating for many years.
I would love to see Lightning support the same level of privacy but it's still early for LN on the privacy front.
Another great one is https://exch.cx although they often get their XMR liquidity wiped out so timing is key.
is a great resource too.

OK you two, now you've gone and done it.
I now have a monero markdown file in my personal notes. I've started putting links in there as I read them.
If you see me add an XMR address, you'll know I've successfully got set up and am giving Monero its day in court.
nice
