1. CRYPTO ATMs, NO-KYC 🏧

Cash for crypto in person 💬 Tip #1: Can't find Monero near you? Any major crypto will work. Ideally one with low transaction fees i.e. LTC, BCH, DOGE. Just swap to Monero later. 💬 Tip #2: Don't give out your real phone number, email, or name. Simple phone number and email verification is common. If required, use a temp SMS verification website. Phantom Phone has a free one available. For email use a temp email service. Guerrilla Mail is free. Alternatively, you can create an email specifically for doing this, or at least use an email alias service like SimpleLogin or Addy.io

I'd just correct something, wizardswap is not an aggregator. It's a swap service with it's own liquidity, like the the first generation of swap services were.
It's interesting though in that you can provide liquidity to them and make some money off the fees, but best in mind it is a centralized service and if they were to ever take off with your coins there's not much you can do about it. Probably never gonna happen though, they've been pretty straight so far.
