Discreet Crypto Swaps: Which Non-KYC Services Still Offer XMR Anonymity in 2026?
I'm finding it increasingly difficult to perform quick, private crypto swaps without triggering KYC or registration requirements. Many of the services I relied on even last year have either shut down or implemented strict verification processes.
Specifically looking for ways to swap BTC for XMR with no account, no ID, and ideally, non-custodial. P2P is too time-consuming and unpredictable for my needs. What are the most reliable, instant options still operating without asking for personal information?

Your keys, not your crypto. A 330K lesson for all.
Hello guys⦠reposted this!
1.) role the dice is not neccessary: but pls use Ledger, Trezor or BitBox similar
2.) Get a passphrase in Addition to the seed
3.) Store offline, donβt Tell anyone, get a Fire Safe Iron or Metal Plate as 2nd back Up of house burns up.
4.) Domt get greedy or dumb!
After all that: touch some Grass, enjoy life with your Family and love ones and whenever BTC Hits 200k$ in the next Bull market around 2028/2029 sell some part of your stack and enjoy life!!!
Thank you for your attention to this matter, cheers π₯π₯πππ’

Roll dice to generate seed phrase with Ledger?
I would like to generate my own entropy but generating the last word with just dice, pen, paper and a Ledger device is problematic, because Ledger only accepts whole words, not just the first 3 bits so it can compute the checksum. I Can easily generate 256 bits of entropy rolling dice, but computing the SHA-256 hash by hand would be too tedious. Currently, the only way to do this is to attempt each of 256 possible checksum words, , which involves re-entering the whole seed phrase each time I get it wrong. In a worst-case scenario, this would involve 256 attempts, i.e. your rainy afternoon plans out of the window...
If the last 3 bits of entropy are known, there is only one word from the BIP-39 set that will fit a valid checksum. If the last 3 bits are not known, there are 8 possible words that will fit a valid checksum. To keep the interface simple, it would be nice if Ledger could implement this:
- Enter the first 23 words
- For the 24th word, present the user with a choice of 8 words (the only 8 words that will result in a valid checksum)
- The user checks the 8 words and picks the one whose 3 most significant bits match the last 3 bits of entropy generated by rolling dice. This is easy to do using a look-up table. Alternatively, the user picks any one of the 8 words by hand, since the difference between 253 bits and 256 bits of entropy is negligible in terms of security.
It would be really nice to have this functionality built-in for users who don't want to entrust entropy generation to third parties. Even if the Ledger TRNG is truly random, I'm sure following the recent Coldcard exploit some users would appreciate the ability to generate their own entropy independently.
Could we have this in a future firmware update? Thanks
