No libre Monero app (lemmy.myserv.one)

Since Monero is a privacy coin, why is there no libre monero app available without any anti-features? There's a Zcash app, a couple of bitcoin apps, who no Monero?

I don't use the standard that if something is on F-Droid then it's private. I check that an app does not have any anti-features to know that it can be used anonymously

If you're talking about a wallet,
what's wrong with Monerujo?
https://www.monerujo.app/

Been using it for a while, open source,
scanned for trackers, contains none.

You do need to add their own repo to F-Droid to download it from there though:

I have not heard of them, thank.you. Do you have any idea why it's not included in F-Droid?

Sorry if I am misunderstanding what you need.

The most private way to buy Monero would be using https://haveno.exchange/ (no KYC, transactions over Tor)

In terms of wallets I think Feather or Cake Wallet is the way to go.

I did not know about Haveno, I am going to check into them, thank you. Someone else also suggest Cake, I will give it a try

Retoswap.com is what you want. Its a haveno network that is functional. The main haveno is testnet only so the dev avoids any sort of legal entanglement

It only works on computer, there is no app?

[–] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

Not yet, but I believe there is currently one under some sort of development. From what I understand so far, you have to compile the program in Termux and then run this app to connect to it locally.

Did you have a look on Cake Wallet app? Open source under MIT license and available on F-Droid.

[–] novacomets@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 3 months ago

I hav not looked at Cake but that's what I was asking for so thank you

[–] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 6 points 3 months ago

Feather is open source and has Tor built in.
