Paying with Bitcoin

Bitcoin still appears where vendors price in it, but its ledger is public and permanent, so it needs more care than Monero.

Routing cleanly

• Use a wallet you control, such as Sparrow or Electrum, over Tor.
• Withdraw from an exchange to your own wallet first, then pay the market from there.
• Avoid reusing a single receiving address for change.
• Where a vendor accepts either coin, prefer Monero for privacy.
