How to get the most out of xmr.club

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.

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

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

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/ghostthe 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

  1. /about + /methodology — who we are, how grades work (3 minutes).
  2. /guides/privacy-without-paranoia — gentle starter kit (5 minutes).
  3. /stack — the reference 12-pick kit (browse 2 minutes).
  4. /guides — pick a deep-dive topic when you need one.
