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

Sorry if I am misunderstanding what you need.

The most private way to buy Monero would be using 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?

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.

If you’re talking about a wallet,
what’s wrong with Monerujo?
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:
f-droid.monerujo.io/fdroid/repo?fingerprint=a82c6…

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

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

There’s something you need to know about the “anti-features” flags on F-Droid.

They’re too “greedy” and widely defined. What you really need to do is examine the app and how the developer might use said “Anti-Feature”. Not all internet access and telemetry is an anti-feature, and neither is reliance on a “third party service” where you can simply configure your app to use your own self-hosted server instance.

An app having no “Anti-Features” flag on F-Droid is absolutely not an informative indicator that it respects your privacy. Merely, it indicates common privacy foot-guns may not be present.

Frequently F-Droid also is far too opinionated in it’s application of the anti-feature flags; giving developers no reason or chances to appeal or change the decisions. It does not matter if the anti-feature flag is mis-applied in any specific situation; nor does it matter if the developer shouldn’t be getting an anti-feature label because they have everything open sourced and it’s clear to see there is no anti-feature there.
