You mean just do Monero to Monero transactions completely?  I'm not sure if Monero would work with a BTC receiver because aren't they using cryptography to shield sending and receiving addresses and transacted amounts?  Unless it's a sort of plug-in.  It also looks like there are Monero...

Yes I'm college educated in cybersecurity and I've experimented around with some hacking for fun, but I don't have a lot of practical experience unfortunately (hard to get a good job in Cybersecurity :( . It involves years of experience and tons of certifications which cost like $5-$10k each)...

@Toker I've been looking for a solid VPN for my home set up for a while now.  I've been nervous to buy anything because I feel like they are all scams are just controlled by the NSA.  I read a few articles that rated ExpressVPN, SurfShark, NordVPN, IPVanish, CyberHost, ProtonVPN, etc. the best. ...

I agree.  If I had the time I would contribute to the Monero C++ repository :(  

This is general common sense advice for EVERYONE and EVERY email provider (gmail, yahoo, proton, etc).  Even your work email.  Never ever ever click any link in an email.  Phishing scams are most common for Bank emails saying you need to click a link to check your balance or to report fraudulent...

@Jesse Yeah I see what you mean, but if I can't get enough money to pay my vendors then what's the point, you know?

Wow, this is awesome.  You can buy, trade, and store BTC in a wallet.  Also, the limit for purchasing BTC with a Visa/MC is $30,000! Please let us know immediately when this feature is available in the USA (it says that New York is not available at this time :(  )

Is there anyone fluent in the darkweb?  There are places where email addresses like this are sold so it would be fairly easy to check for compromised vendor addresses.

In reply to myself above, maybe someone can do a step-by-step tutorial from purchasing funds through CashApp/Coinbase (obviously no need to repeat the OP, but to pick up from where he left off) to transferring and storing the funds in the wallets?  And then another section how to spend the money...

@DoomKitty  Monero has the right idea.  We should be shielding the sending and receiving addresses.  And at the same time, we should be allowed to control who can access a transaction or contract.  If you were to store medical records on the blockchain, you'd need to give over your hash, but at...

@DoomKitty I hope I'm not giving out too much personal information (a.k.a. my avatar could be a dead giveaway hah).  I did an entire semester of research with a government grant, but the applications of Blockchain and Bitcoin were just too confusing that not even the Math/Science Department...

@DoomKitty I luckily got through the KYC with a passport (my license expired during COVID and while it's still valid for a year, Coinbase wouldn't accept it).  Back when I was doing academic research, I don't remember banking laws being allowed to interfere with bitcoin (it went against the...

@DoomKitty So if I want to buy a lot of BTC on CashApp, then I need to do the whole identity thing to send the money or move it to a wallet?  I don't want to spend all this money on BTC and have it stuck somewhere unable to access it.

@Jesse How do I increase my weekly spend amount on Coinbase?  I also hear people getting kicked out for "inappropriate" spending.  It doesn't sound very decentralized to me.  I studied this entire topic -- Blockchain and Bitcoin -- in college (like 4 years ago), but they never taught us about...

I had a similar experience today with WU. Before they would approve my transfer, I got an email requesting additional information and that I had to call within 12 hours or my transfer would be cancelled. WU asked a lot of questions, but the customer service agent helped me with some of the...
