I see you take Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash, any reason you don't take Monero? Monero is the most private cryptocurrency in existence, and if you want maximum privacy you could use this so customers don't need to mix their coins first.

It's a false security, and it can induce you to break opsec when they break monero privacy again.

Monero has never been compromised, despite hypothetical attacks from researchers, which have since been patched. No evidence of their use has ever been established, unlike many traces used as evidence in court from Bitcoin transactions.
