Domestic Monero team

Through September 2026, Domestic Monero is running a small bounty for new users who actually trade: about $10 USD equivalent in Monero (XMR) per qualifying case — a public directory review, or the first accepted reproducible bug report. Payout amount is at operator discretion; both tracks are available.

September 2026 bounty announcement — about ten dollars in XMR for directory reviews and first reproducible bug reports.
September 2026 user bounty — two tracks, one month.

Who qualifies

This program is for new users — people whose first real use of Domestic Monero happens in September 2026. Before claiming either bounty, you must:

  1. Open the Mini App from the official bot
  2. Create or accept an offer
  3. Complete one trade (settled, not merely started)

Existing users who already traded before September do not qualify.

Four-step eligibility flow — open official bot, create or accept offer, complete one trade, claim via support.
New-user eligibility before any payout.

Track A — directory review

After you complete a trade, leave an honest public review on one of these listings:

Then message /support with:

  1. Which directory you used
  2. A link to your published review (or a screenshot if there is no permalink)
  3. Your Monero payout address

One qualifying review bounty per person (pick one directory). Reviews must be yours, accurate, and follow each site’s rules. Fake, copy-pasted, or misleading reviews do not qualify.

Track B — bug report

Found a bug? Reproduce it, then message /support with:

  1. Expected vs actual behavior
  2. Steps to reproduce (Telegram version and device/OS if relevant)
  3. Trade #ref and current trade state if the bug is trade-specific
  4. Screenshots or short recordings if they help — no wallet addresses, QR codes, or trade-share secrets

All bug types use the same bounty tier. Only the first reproducible report we accept for a given issue qualifies. Follow-ups and duplicates do not. Describe security-sensitive issues through /support only — do not post exploit details in public chats.

You may claim both Track A and Track B if you qualify for each (one review + one bug).

Payout notes

  • Reward is about $10 USD equivalent in XMR, converted at payout time; exact amount is at operator discretion per case.
  • Claims must arrive via /support during September 2026.
  • The operator confirms eligibility before sending XMR. Payout timing depends on review volume.

FAQ

I finished a trade in September but opened the bot earlier — do I count?
You must be a new user whose first completed trade on Domestic Monero happens in September 2026. If you already completed a trade before September, you are not eligible.

Can I review on Monerica and XMRList?
One qualifying review bounty per person across all three directories.

My friend reported the same bug first — can I still get paid?
No. Only the first accepted reproducible report for that issue qualifies.

Where do I send everything?
Only /support on @domestic_monero_bot. There is no user-to-user chat and no third-party support accounts.
