Pay for offshore hosting with Monero

Monero is the gold standard for transactional privacy in cryptocurrency. Every transaction is private by default — sender, recipient, and amount are all hidden through stealth addresses, ring signatures, and bulletproofs. There is no "transparent" mode to opt out of; the protocol has no notion of public balances. For customers whose threat model includes financial surveillance, Monero is the rail to use.

We run our own Monero node and accept payments via per-invoice subaddresses. Each subaddress is scoped to a single order, never reused, and only the view key is exposed on our side — meaning we can verify incoming payments but cannot construct outgoing ones from the same view. Roughly 11% of our orders settle in XMR, and that share is materially higher among customers paying for use cases with elevated privacy requirements (journalism, anonymous-blog, vpn, tor-relay).

The practical experience matches Bitcoin: pick a plan, pick XMR at checkout, scan the subaddress with Cake Wallet, Feather, Monerujo, or the official GUI, and wait for ten confirmations (~20 minutes). Refunds within the 7-day window are paid back in XMR to a customer-provided address. There is no XMR premium — invoices are denominated in USD and converted at order time using a coingecko mid-price.
