Kraken Cryptocurrency Exchange
Kraken is blocking my accounts, I must have messed up somewhere. What are the alternatives to buy Monero?
In addition to the great recommendations already provided by others, like localmonero, you may have crypto ATMs in your area that have lower kyc requirements than the major centralized exchanges. Probably depends where you live and what is available, but then you can convert to XMR using atomic swaps or some of the instant exchanges recommended in the sidebar or at kycnot.me
2I'd second this recommendation. It still seems to be the best way to onramp from fiat without mandatory kyc depending on the listing.
