Hey there! I want to get some Monero in exchange for cash via post.

I used Localmonero in the past, and I have my wallet.

But now I want to use Haveno and get XMR from there.

Interestingly there is still no Flatpak, so I compiled the app from source and ran the haveno-desktop app.

I think I understood that the Haveno application and devs dont bundle a network. Instead they say "use a 3rd party installer" (for a network? P2P I guess).

So the network is not just a list of connections and Haveno is a peer, but it needs an additional application?

What networks do you know that are good? Looking for something in Europe.

I also read that Haveno is now "mainnet ready". What does this mean?

RetoSwap (previously haveno-reto) has an appimage, deb, rpm, and possibly flatpak. Can be downloaded from haveno-reto.com

Interesting, yes they have a Flatpak (the only useful package format here as it is sandboxed) but no repo. But better than Haveno itself.

Thanks!

Haveno itself is a testing version which does not allow real trading.

You need to find other software based on Haveno, which allows real trading (uses Monero mainnet servers while Haveno itself a testnet?).

Possibly most popular is Reto (RetoSwap). Its official Github repository is https://github.com/retoaccess1/haveno-reto

I am yet to find any list of Haveno mainnet software. Btw. here is some guide which explains steps for trading inside Haveno based trading software: https://internetlifeforum.com/showthread.php?28833-Exchanging-Monero-and-fiat-privately-without-KYC-using-open-source-software-Haveno
