What is MyZubster?
MyZubster is an open-source, privacy-first platform for peer-to-peer skills and services exchange.
Unlike traditional platforms that collect your data, track your activity, and take a cut from every transaction, MyZubster is built on three core principles:
🔐 Privacy – Your data belongs to you. No tracking, no surveillance.
🧅 Anonymity – Connect via Tor. No one knows who you are.
💰 Freedom – Pay and get paid with Monero (XMR). Private, untraceable, censorship-resistant.
