The only exchange I can think of might be Pancake Swap, but I’m not sure. You could trade coin with anyone who gets theirs from actual miners. I think this is probably the only way to fully avoid KYC.

I would not pay for a VPN, personally.

How? I live off of GS!

I sort of bundled that under the law of morals that I’m realizing I really meant, yeah.

That doesn’t justify me breaking it, though. It’s a separate matter.

Sure works wonders if you’re busy with a chore. Laundry? Dishwashing (for the unfortunate souls without easy access to a dishwasher)? That’s the best time to call any yakker you know!

Malware risk and just wanting to abide by the law?

Yeah, that’s super-creative; I would never have thought of that.

… because we shouldn’t need to in the first place!

If they truly didn’t care about this then they would probably mention, like, Matrix or something

I forgot what that middle operator means.

Yes, the giants always win.

(/s… sort of…)

For some banks, like Ally, you don’t need the app to transact in Zelle. But yeah, I must have one for check-depositing.

I’ve never heard of Fairphone and have only barely heard of DivestOS.

I don’t know, the way Mozilla’s going…

Sure. The point still stands that Signal does take GV numbers, so the article writer is wrong.

Let’s talk about banks.

Let’s talk about all the vaults and their maintenance, the security guards, the Brinks armored cars, all the tellers, wire transaction-handling, and so on and so on.

No, gee, hmm, they’ve never calculated how much a vast, global expense all of this is per second.

Maybe they want you to keep believing that it’s more efficient.

And sometimes they don’t work at all (that was my experience when I tried using a Google Voice number to sign up for Signal).

I’ve been using a GV number with no problem all this time. 🤷🏻‍♂🤨

Oh.

I thought we were moving to sodium!

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I wonder if anyone has made a fork of it that does.

Clever engineers.
