This is a great idea for a service, however it needs to establish trust that it’s not colluding with anyone. If it was a well-known member of the community, it would most probably be more convenient than it is now. Anyway, lowest amount you can secure is 1 XMR but your fees up to 1 XMR are 5% but there is 1 XMR min? All in all the fees seem reasonable.

Fully agree, every merchant is a loss, when there are so little…

Was Tor2door a significant player? I really don’t understand why nowadays markets without payments “per order” and multisig escrow still are a thing.

I came across Bitcoin in 2011 when Paypal freezed my business Paypal account and a mid-5-figure amount for ‘at least 6 months’ for selling Absinthe which is perfectly legal in Europe and more than a year ago they audited my shop and approved it manually. I had to hire a lawyer to get my money out without waiting their insane 6 months, their revenge was cancelling my private account and my girlfirends’ too and giving me a lifetime ban without notification, but I tried to activate it again and writing to support even after 10 years, no chance.

Well, Bitcoin didn’t work well back then (and doesn’t until today in my opinion), but despite the fact I was selling my stuff with some other credit card and bank processing, I stayed in Bitcoin for years. Until the block size wars went insane and I proposed to solve it by doubling the block size every halving but have been laughed at by several Bitcoiners I respected until then. But I was pretty sure, I can’t be the only one to think a fixed variable for the space available for transactions and searched for other proposals… Until I came accross Monero in 2016.

Until then I was a Bitcoin maximalist, since pretty much all coins had some kind of scams built in and I started searching for the scam in Monero… And I’m doing it until today!

That’s really a pity after already cake pay web has been shut down.

Maybe take a close look with whom Bitrefill, Coincards, AllArk and others are partnering? Sure, you had probably the best value for the money but hey, better have a bit more expensive alternative rather than nothing.

AnonIndustries recently launched https://phantomphone.app/ with competitive pricing if you ask me.

Welcome back, was nice to meet all of you guys on MoneroKon and I wouldn’t have time anyway to look into the internets due to the full schedule…

Sure it is, especially after knowing the drama with our MRL team, MAGIC would most probably be a better fit for them and I’m happy it exists today. However, this one requests explicitly 134 XMR, not Fiat and so far nobody used the Fiat or even BTC option…

Sure, but if you only need a VPN for browsing from a different country IP to bypass restrictions and stuff like that, why not? Anyway you shouldn’t do nasty stuff on any VPN, since there is always trust involved and better tools out there.

I have doxxed myself already on reddit back then, with proof: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/bcb6oy/warning_to_all_otc_bank_transfer_traders_on/

Please keep us updated, when there is some more information available. Probably they want to charge him for money laundering and/or illegal banking services.

I had a similar situation few years ago, however with wire transfer and in Europe. They accused me of faking a bank transfer form to myself and faking the signature of the sender. It was ridiculous, since the sender’s bank was like 700km away from my place, but ended in loosing all my bank accounts at once back then and in a police house search several months later. After two years they dropped all charges agains myself.

Sending cash by mail over a nation border is probably not the best idea, tbh. Controls are most probably much more restrict than domestic, especially for less restrictive countries like el Salvador, which is commonly known for its drug cartels.

Why not? Couldn’t find any other limitations on their site rather than the 5 device limit at once. It’s pretty common to share Netflix subscriptions even if they don’t allow it in their TOS…

This is a very important topic and I am a bit sad, all those fundings are made now outside of our CCS, since like one can see in this one most (in this one all) people donate in XMR anyway.
