A thread on why Cash by Mail (CBM) is the most underrated P2P exchange method: 1. No KYC. You're sending physical cash in an envelope. No bank records, no exchange logs. 2. Works EU-wide. A letter from Berlin to Lisbon costs €1.10 and arrives in 3-5 days. No borders for postal service within Schengen. 3. Escrow solves the trust problem. With multisig escrow (2-of-3 between buyer, seller, and arbitrator), neither party can scam. The XMR is locked until the cash arrives. 4. Scales naturally. Unlike face-to-face, you're not limited by geography. Your counterparty can be anywhere in Europe. 5. Minimal digital footprint. The transaction happens partly offline. Even if the escrow platform is compromised, the fiat side leaves no electronic trail. The main risk is postal theft — but registered mail and creative packaging solve this for any reasonable amount. For larger trades (€5K+), insured shipping is cheap. This was the backbone of LocalMonero's EU volume. Now that LM is gone, the infrastructure is being rebuilt on Haveno and other P2P platforms. #monero #p2p #cashbymail #privacy #nokyc
