This is the best post I've ever found on this subject. May I suggest to admin that it pinned someplace where others can easily find it? Question for the author: What about the reliability of CoinMama? One of the things that kept me with Coinbase (other than relatively low fees and it transfers...

Companies where safety truly is a concern have scuttled (or in some cases abandoned) drug testing in favor of performance and reaction time testing because it's much more reliable and can catch things like workers who are too tired to perform safely. 

People have been saying that about drug testing for years, yet it becomes nothing but ever more widespread.

We already spend $25 billion a year on urine drug screens. Clearly money is no object when it comes to the War on Drugs. I wonder what that breaks down to per-pothead they catch. It's logical to assume that business will make rational financial decisions, but there's ample evidence that they...

This creeps the shit out of me! It's marginally---very marginally---understandable for a doctor to obtain your genetic profile. If we can set aside that there's no real reason for all this drug testing anyway. Patients did not start nor fuel the opioid crisis and there's no evidence that drug...

Where are you getting stuck? Because I'm the one who started this thread and I'm to the point where I'm at least functional with it. (Don't listen to anyone who says "Oh, it's eeeeasy!" No, it's not. You're right---it is unnecessarily complicated. But it's not impossible.) So which part are you...

Possibly. But what would be the advantage in going through customs twice? I don't think the USPS would give you a box in the States with an address in Canada, so you'd probably have to go through one of the private companies where they don't have the same restrictions on opening your box or your...

Sending directly to the addressee's wallet isn't recommended. For donating to this site, I don't believe it's even allowed. The only way to keep the transaction anonymous is if you move the bitcoin into your personal wallet first, and then from your wallet to the recipient's wallet. It's the...

Just keep whacking away at it.  I still don't really understand it, but I managed to donate by pure trial-and-error. You have to hit a service that will work with your bank. If you're willing to wait, you can trade time for anonymity. The one I used for donation only allows you to shift a small...

Other than for US vendors, I don't see how this will have much effect. It only applies to those sending mail from within the United States. Also, if you look at this poster for mail carriers---and you totally should, because it's unintentionally hilarious---all the red flags are aimed at...

That Moment When You Realize You Posted First, and Then Checked the Relevant Info Later. Thanks for the upgrade, Forum Mods! :-)

I could have sworn I found a better place to post this way back when, but I can't find it again now.  I'll keep looking. So....I donated over a week ago now. I put my name in the message. But I haven't been updated yet. Is there something else I need to do? I thought maybe I needed to post that...

No, I saw it. They're all good suggestions. But Tor was in your first two, on the "must have" list, and I just question whether it's really a must-have. With the caveat, as 2earls said, that one is not moving large volume and that one is not uncomfortably anxious about the whole process and/or...

Except this isn't happening. People aren't going to jail because they have a Hotmail account or because they didn't use Tor. I'm not exactly disagreeing with these as suggestions. I'm just trying to identify what's really needed for the average person's security. It's much easier to get a Proton...

I've heard that VPNs are too easily intercepted, making them useless for anyone who's actively being sought by government or law enforcement, and unnecessary for anyone who's not. The person who told me this said VPNs are virtually useless because they only scramble your location once, and that...

This was extremely helpful--thank you! I do have an Electrum wallet and my seed phrase. I've found a place to buy them with reasonable rates, provided I only transfer small amounts at a time. That's kind of a pain in the ass.

I don't even know what any of that means. I've not only never used bitcoin, I've never used a smartphone. I only vaguely know what an app is. For some reason, Coinbase canceled my account and returned my $15 after my 11 days was almost up. One of the money transfer services appears to have...

I'm still waiting for Coinbase. Eleven days total before it will release my money to even be transferred to Electrum. No, you're not the only "dummies" out there---I promise! Bitcoin is my karma for teasing my parents about not being to use the VCR.

Note: Tempo does not work in the United States. WorldRemit is having issues as well. SL will give you options besides bitcoin, but bitcoin is preferable. Trying to figure it out myself.

Lumbar epidurals work for me too. They only last about two months and I still get breakthrough pain, but I usually---keyword there, "usually"---get upwards of 75% relief from them during that two months. The tricky part is that doctors don't want to give them that often. (I swear, when something...
