Monero payment privacy for VPS invoices

Why XMR is the recommended coin when the invoice itself should leak less than a transparent chain. How NovaVPS checkout uses monero: URIs.

Le corps de l'article est en anglais. L'interface, le catalogue et la caisse sont traduits.

Threat model

What is Monero: Monero hides sender, receiver and amount by default. Bitcoin and USDT sit on public ledgers. If your threat model cares about the payment rail, XMR is the right chip on the invoice page.

How checkout uses it

Pick Monero on the invoice. The QR encodes a monero: URI with tx_amount. Ten confirmations is the target. Wrong-network sends are not recoverable. Panel tickets remain the support channel if a txid needs binding.

Node vs payment

Paying with XMR rents the VPS. Running monerod is a separate workload - see the Monero node playbook and Monero: run a node on a VPS.
