Advertising with Monero on this board takes four things: a link, a name for it, an amount, and a wallet with enough in it. There is no sign-up, no verification step and no salesperson. You fill in a form, a Monero subaddress is generated for that payment alone, you send to it, and after ten confirmations your listing is on the board at the position your amount bought.
That is the whole mechanism. The rest of this post is what happens at each step, and what the arrangement does and does not protect.
What you need before you start
- A destination. A site, an app, a repository, a profile, a channel or an
onion address. Onion addresses are ordinary listings here, not a footnote.
- A wallet with Monero in it. Any wallet. Nothing on this board cares which
one, and nothing about it is recorded.
- An amount. The floor is published on every page. Anything at or above it
gets you a place; how far up the board that place is depends on what the listings above you have paid.
You do not need an email address, a company name, a card, an invoice address or a tax number. None of those fields exist in the database, so none of them can be asked for later.
The four steps
- Fill in the form. The bid form asks for your link, a name, a
line about it, a longer description, a handle for its own page and any profile links you want on it. All of that is collected once so the listing is complete the moment the payment lands.
- Get a subaddress. Submitting the form creates an invoice with a Monero
subaddress used by that invoice and nothing else. It is not reused, so nothing links one payment to another.
- Send the amount. Any wallet, any fee, any time inside the invoice window.
Underpaying leaves the invoice open at what arrived; the board tells you what is still outstanding rather than keeping the difference and saying nothing.
- Wait for confirmations. Ten, which is the depth Monero itself treats as
settled: an output cannot be spent until ten blocks have buried it. Then the listing is live and the rank is yours.
You are shown a claim token once, at the moment the invoice is created. That token is the only thing that proves the listing is yours later. It is stored here as a SHA-256 hash and nowhere else, which means we cannot email it to you, because there is nothing to email and nowhere to send it.
What it costs
The floor is a flat amount, published, and it does not move because other listings joined. An empty place at the bottom of the board is worth the floor whatever the listing above it paid. Going higher is the only thing that buys a higher position, and how much higher is arithmetic you can do yourself from the numbers printed beside every row.
There is no minimum term, no monthly commitment and no renewal. What you paid is what you hold, permanently, and raising it later costs only the difference.
What Monero actually hides here
This is the part worth being exact about, because "private payments" is a phrase that gets used loosely.
Monero transactions do not carry a sender. When a payment arrives at your invoice's subaddress, this board sees an amount and the fact that it landed. It does not see where it came from, and no amount of legal pressure changes that, because the information was never in our possession.
What it does not do is make the transaction invisible. If you publish a receipt, and receipts are on by default because they are what makes the board's own income checkable, then the transaction hash becomes publicly known as a payment to this board. Nobody can be named by it. But if you funded that payment directly out of an exchange withdrawal, the exchange knows what it sent and where. That is a thread, and it is your thread to cut, which is why the form lets you decline a public receipt with one checkbox.
Where else you can do this
Almost nowhere, and that is most of the reason this board exists. Ad networks run on card payments, and card payments run on identity: a merchant account, a billing address, a name that matches a document. The moment a network takes cards it inherits everything the card processor is afraid of, which is why whole categories of legitimate product cannot buy advertising anywhere at any price.
A board that takes Monero and creates no account has none of that machinery to protect, which is why it can sell to a niche nobody else will sell to. The rules say what still comes off, the list is short, and every decision made under it is published.
