Hello All,

No surprise that everyone is using bitcoin these days, but I truly miss the ease that was sending money orders. lol

Anyway..

There is SO much information out there regarding bitcoin. Which wallet service to choose and where is best to buy the coin.

After doing a couple hours of reading and research into the whole thing I've set myself up an Edge wallet and downloaded the LiberyX app as well. I've read some posts using the search function here, finding that people have had success using both of those services. However, I just found out that cashapp is also an easy service to use to buy and send coin.

As for my questions:

1. With LibertyX the only options in my area are debit/atm. The fees all seem to be around 8%-9%, which seem to be common for atm fees. I process the buying of the coin on the liberty app, get my wallet address under receive from edge, put that into liberty, which generates a code I enter at the liberty associated atm, the atm then sends it to my edge wallet and from there i send to DB vendor? Is that the gist of it?

2. Using cashapp. Is cashapp less secure or any less private than LibertyX and edge? I've read some posts saying that cashapp has closed accounts in the past for investigations. I'm not planning on making any particularly large orders so I wouldn't imagine I would raise any flags in that regard but still...

It seems as though cashapp is the cheaper and easier option out of the two since it cuts out the wallet middle man? You can just buy and send directly from cashapp? Why wouldn't most people just placing an order here and there just use cashapp? Is there something I'm missing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I feel like there's SO many variables to consider with bitcoin its crazy overwhelming.
 
I suck at explaining and articulating things so maybe someone else can word it better, but sending funds directly from cash app is one of the least secure way to do things. Saving a few dollars is not worth the risk. If you’re going to use Venmo or cash app to buy crypto, you then send it to your external wallet, and send payment from there. And Monero (XMR) is best for security. All other forms of crypto are traceable.

the whole wallet taint thing isn't really remedied much by the wallet hopping tactic these days.

the basis for the approach to using an intermediary wallet a lot of the time is to avoid your account being flagged/terminated by services/exchanges that manage a list of "hot wallets" (usually in the context of d4rkn37 m4rk3ts) and would terminate your account if sending funds to one of those wallets. but, if you're sending to an RC vendor (unless they're well established and being monitored), the chances of that risk coming to fruition are slim to none (especially if their wallet addresses aren't advertised outside of email reply to customers).

At that point they (exchange) would essentially just be making baseless accusations towards you for simply transacting crypto, which is obviously the primary function of it in the first place.

there's also the idea that, in the event you/your vendor did get caught, that if you were called in for questioning by LOL en4cement you could pull the plausible deniability card; but as you mentioned, all crypto outside XMR is traceable - so if they want you bad enough, it's not hard to pull up a wallet on something like breadcrumbs or internal tooling to display a web easily showing you did in fact send funds to the vendor they're accusing you of ordering from.

all that being said though, you should do it just in case for most/all instances especially when accounting for the minimal amount of extra funds required to move to another wallet, as you also stated.


tl;dr - use xmr at all times possible. if you can't buy xmr from an exchange directly, buy another crypto (sol is my recommendation bc of lowest fees and quickest confirmation), then swap that for xmr on a dex (check https://kcynot.me for options)

if your vendor does not accept xmr, ask them why they don't and if they will

  1. D @ drdrizzy13: LSU is trash and has always been trash but a night game in death valley is unlike anything I've experienced. Except the first game back to the superdome reopened after Katrina destroyed it. Everybody was crying and drunk as shit lol. All time favorite in person sports moment ever.
  2. M @ meepmoopmeep: Kiffin is a traitor and he and LSU deserve each other since they’re both complete trash
  3. D @ drdrizzy13: yea he's a joke lol. Can't stand him.
  4. L @ Layne_Cobain: You know who rly sucks…lane kiffin 😂 dude is all that’s wrong with college sports or at least a big chunk of it…and he lied about being told he could still coach ole miss in the playoffs
  5. D @ drdrizzy13: Hey at least Ole Miss got in. I can't stand LSU. They really sucked this year.
  6. M @ meepmoopmeep: as an A&M fan I’m content with us missing the SECCG for that reason. Georgia about to fuck Alabama up
  7. D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah I agree if bama loses I think they are out. That would be 3 losses. I don't see a 3 loss team getting in this year.
  8. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah that’s why sark was pleading his case about that Texas shouldn’t be punished for scheduling a non conference game against the best team and losing if they hadn’t done that they’d probably be in but oh well way it goes there’s always gonna be a few teams who get robbed or feel they got robbed even with a 12 team playofff…if bama loses to Georgia I’d think they’d be out but who knows
  9. D @ drdrizzy13: Alabama also lost to Florida State pretty bad. Whom Florida beat. I just think if they didn't decide to play ohio state the first game. They would be in with 2 losses instead of Alabama.
  10. M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
  11. D @ drdrizzy13: Texas is offically out of the playoffs they didn't make the top 12. I do wish they were in it. They showed up against Texas AM. But there fatal flaw was scheduling Ohio State for their opening. Which would have been great if they won but they are a 3 loss team now.
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah idk about arch I could see him staying with Sark for another year but if he plays rly well in the playoff who knows that is if they get in
  13. D @ drdrizzy13: Man a lot of Saints fan want Arch but I think he said he is playing another year. I would take him probably. But if Texas AM QB comes out or Ohio State's I think you gotta take one if your picking top 2.
  14. L @ Layne_Cobain: Is the qb class supposed to be stacked or thin for draft in April I follow college ball but I can’t think right now I think there’s def at least a few high potential qb declaring
  15. D @ drdrizzy13: Right now I believe we pick 2nd. ATM.
  16. D @ drdrizzy13: At first I figured he might be able to do something but our position players suck. We are playing a rookie QB. O-line sucks. It needs to be blown up. I hope we tank for the first pick
  17. L @ Layne_Cobain: Hopefully you guys maybe find a solid qb option in the draft you should end up with a very good pick
  18. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah dude Moore def does not seem like the guy for yall need to clean house
  19. D @ drdrizzy13: I should say our receivers suck
  20. D @ drdrizzy13: AK is hurt. Our receivers hurt and our starting QB went to college for fucking 6 years. If that tells you something. Also he never completed a complete season in college due to injury. We need a new GM and FAST. And surprisingly Kellen Moore's play calling has been TERRIBLE.
