DrugPayments: one invoice, one currency
DrugHub is XMR-only end to end — one invoice per checkout, paid from your self-custody Monero wallet, settled to a fresh address, with every withdrawal offline. No other currency touches the market's books.
The checkout flow
- Add items to the shopping cart — many orders, one payment at checkout.
- The invoice equals order value + market fee (5% standard, paid by the buyer).
- Pay the freshly generated Monero address from your own wallet.
- Goods release to escrow; withdrawals process offline ≤ 24h with the market covering the fee.
Which Monero wallet?
| Official Monero GUI | Recommended — full node, market's own in-thread suggestion |
|---|---|
| Feather | Lightweight, self-hosted — good fit on Tails / Whonix |
| Cake | Simple mobile-friendly self-custody client |
| Online / KYC wallets | Skip — closed source and custodial; defeats a market that runs no hot wallets |
"If you don't control the private keys it's not your coin" is the in-thread line — closed-source and KYC wallets get vetoed by the market's own users in the same thread. BTC/altcoins exist here only via third parties; the system itself handles Monero and withdrawals are XMR-only.
Fees & fund handling
- Commission: 5% standard, can move with factors like account activity/volume — buyer pays
- No deposit required; the market wallet exists for refunds only
- No hot wallets on servers — seized or hacked boxes hold no spendable XMR
- Withdrawals: offline, within 24 hours; withdrawal fees covered by the market
- Ring signatures + stealth addresses — the vendor sees a payment, not your exchange history
