  "description": "Quick tour of the surfaces a returning user actually wants: /ask, /stack, /picks, /tag/<slug>, /compare, /freshness, /audit, the JSON + markdown twins. The shortcuts that make the directory useful in 30 seconds.",
  "intro": "The site has 15+ surfaces beyond the category index, and most readers never find them. This is the brief guide that returns the highest signal per minute spent — what's where, what each is for, and the keyboard / URL shortcuts.",
  "body_plain": "If you have 30 seconds /ask — type what you want in plain English (\"VPS that takes Monero\", \"encrypted email no KYC\"). Returns a curated shortlist. /stack — the curator's 12-pick reference kit (one per slot). Skip-the-research shortcut. /picks — every provider flagged ★ as an editor's pick. More options than /stack. If you know what you want By category: /<category> — e.g. /vpns , /exchanges , /wallets . By tag (cross-category): /tag/<slug> — e.g. /tag/no_kyc , /tag/tor_mirror , /tag/xmr_native . Index at /tags . Stack two filters: /q?tag=no_kyc&grade=A . Add a category with &cat=vpns . Compare two providers: /compare — side-by-side table with all the tags + fees + last_verified. Quality + transparency surfaces /freshness — which listings haven't been re-verified recently. Apply your own discount. /audit — every curator action (grade changes, adds, removals). Filter by ?id=<provider> for a single listing's history. /archive — removed listings with reasons. /onion-audit — drift report between our listed onions and what the operator currently advertises. /status — daily uptime probe board. /trends — 30-day curator activity dashboard. Subscriptions /feed.xml — recently verified (Atom). /feed.json — same as JSON Feed 1.1. /feed/audit.xml + /feed/audit.json — curator-action changelog. /feed/<category>.xml — per-category slice for any category. For programmatic access /api — every JSON endpoint with samples. /data.json — full dataset, CC-BY-4.0. /api/v1/llm-surfaces — discovery index of every AI-ready surface. Markdown twins at /llm/<category>/<id>.txt per provider + /llm/<category>.txt per category + /llm/guides/<slug>.txt per guide + /llm/tag/<slug>.txt per tag. Short URL aliases xmr.club/swap → /exchanges xmr.club/ghost → the two-hop chain-break product xmr.club/random → a random A-grade pick (browser) · /api/v1/random for the JSON variant xmr.club/tree.txt → curl-friendly tree of every active provider Reading order if you're new /about + /methodology — who we are, how grades work (3 minutes). /guides/privacy-without-paranoia — gentle starter kit (5 minutes). /stack — the reference 12-pick kit (browse 2 minutes). /guides — pick a deep-dive topic when you need one.
