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

  4. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Robert Duvall and a handful of others were a younger actors coach and always said no one worked as hard as those guys did. Robert Duvall and rest would read the full script 228 over and over, then after the last read they would go into how to perform their character. The young man had made it to meet Al who are greats and pull them to the side. And explain what his coach said. They all looked back and said out of every role you’ve seen me in. I have read it 228 by myself. 🫡 🫢 🫢 🫢
  5. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Sorry for comment below, but I couldn’t delete. Know I see the
  6. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: Yeah Robert Duvall passing is a hard one. RIP
  7. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Damn. Just heard Robert Duvall passed away Sunday. That’s a tough one. He’s one of my favorite actors. From Lonesome Dove to the Godfather and many others. We will miss you Mr Duvall. You entertained us for 7 decades. RIP
  8. L @ Layne_Cobain: @ClintEastwood make a post about it homie they’re gonna take down your message here cuz shout box isn’t really for talking shop just random shooting the shit exc but yeh just put your message in a post on the forum in the appropriate place and ppl will get at you! 👊 ✌️
  9. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Just wondering if anyone well trusted has a supply of research thienos or benz in powders for good average prices? Or could give a shout out from me to him? Or the best lowest per each? I’ve seen some cool and some i just know are worth it. Good price rv presses too but it is much more bang for your buck. I have one good vendor. But am looking for variety’s well. Send me a message or reply if you think any. Thanks - CLINT E. Any Heavy stuff too which all seem about the ssmmmmmm
  10. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  11. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  14. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  15. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  16. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  17. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  18. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  19. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  20. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
