In this tutorial I cover how to do a Fiat to Monero trade from the brand new (and long awaited!) Haveno Decentralised Exchange, using the Face-to-Face (F2F) payment method.
using the Haveno Reto Network, feel free to drop in some feedback if you think i can improve that tutorial :) https://blog.nihilism.network/servers/haveno-client-f2f/index.html
yeah that's the chicken in egg problem that got ported over from bisq. Thing is that initial monero is required to make sure there's an incentive to not scam the other peer and same from their end.
