Some situations require you to go from BTC to XMR. Maybe the exchange you use does not list Monero directly, or maybe you already hold Bitcoin and want to convert before paying a vendor. Here is how.

Why convert
Bitcoin is traceable. Every transaction lives on a public blockchain forever. Monero hides the sender, receiver and amount by default. Converting BTC to XMR before making a payment adds a layer of privacy that Bitcoin alone does not provide.

Step by step

Make sure you have a Monero wallet set up and ready to receive. See the crypto basics thread if you need help with this.
Go to a swap service. Popular options include Trocador, ChangeNow or MorphToken. These do not require accounts for most swap sizes.
Select BTC as the source currency and XMR as the destination.
Enter your Monero wallet address as the receiving address.
The service will show you a BTC deposit address. Send your Bitcoin there from your personal wallet (not from an exchange).
Wait for confirmations. BTC usually needs 1 to 3 confirmations before the swap starts. The whole process takes 15 to 45 minutes depending on network congestion.
Once complete, your XMR appears in your Monero wallet.

Where people slip up

Sending BTC from an exchange instead of a personal wallet. The exchange sees the swap service address and may flag or freeze your account.
Using the wrong network or address format. Double check everything.
Expecting instant results. Blockchain confirmations take time. Be patient.
Forgetting fees. The swap service takes a percentage, and both networks charge transaction fees. Factor this in when deciding how much to send.

If the swap seems stuck, check the service's status page or support. Most have a transaction tracker you can follow.]]> Converting Bitcoin to Monero

Most vendors accept cryptocurrency. If you have never used it before, this thread walks you through the essentials.

Why Monero (XMR)
Monero is the preferred payment method on this board because it is private by default. Bitcoin transactions are visible on a public ledger. Monero transactions are not. For buying AAS and related products, privacy matters.

Getting a wallet
You need a wallet to hold your coins. Options:

Desktop: The official Monero GUI wallet. Full featured, runs on your computer.
Mobile: Cake Wallet (iOS and Android). Convenient for smaller amounts.
Hardware: Ledger or Trezor. Best for storing larger amounts long term.

Buying crypto
Purchase Bitcoin or Monero on an exchange (Kraken, Coinbase, Binance or a local option). Complete identity verification there if required. Then withdraw your coins to your own wallet.

Important: never pay a vendor directly from an exchange. Exchanges log everything. Withdraw to your personal wallet first, then send payment from there.

If the vendor only accepts Bitcoin
You can convert BTC to XMR using a swap service. Check the BTC to XMR conversion guide for a walkthrough.

Confirm before sending
Always double check the wallet address before sending payment. Crypto transactions cannot be reversed. Copy and paste the address, then verify the first and last few characters match what the vendor gave you.]]> Crypto Basics for Buyers
