## What this is

A privacy-services directory built for people who actually use these tools, not for crawlers harvesting affiliate fees. Listings cover crypto exchanges, wallets, VPNs, mixers, email providers, prepaid cards, SIMs, hosting, search engines, AI tools, and more — all evaluated against the methodology at https://xmr.club/methodology.

## How the list is maintained

- A small editorial team — one curator plus an advisory group — reviews every entry against the methodology.
- New listings tested end-to-end — signup, payment, withdrawal — before they land.
- Every listing carries a last_verified stamp. Entries older than 18 months get downgraded by one letter grade until re-tested.
- Daily uptime probe at https://xmr.club/status.
- Every curation change logged at https://xmr.club/audit.

## How we make money

- Affiliate links on outbound /go/<slug>. Affiliate status does not influence grade or position.
- Sponsorships at https://xmr.club/sponsor. SPONSORED chip + bubble-to-top placement; never grade or KYC tagging.
- That's it. No newsletter sales, no scraping fees, no premium tiers for users.
