AVOID crypton.sh They scammed me.

Another alternative is to use XMR to rent a phone number for receipt of a one time SMS verification code at a cost of $3-5. In the past, Google would not ask for a SMS verification code again after the creation of an account, but if you are worried that they might, you can also rent a phone number long term.

How does this work? Does the Google account you purchase come preverified (so no SMS phone # verification is required) and with a predetermined username and password?

How about fluffypony 2.0?

Fuck this thread.

If you don’t have anything useful to contribute here (which you never do), then get the fuck off my thread.

If they put fixed offers at the time higher the market price would you take it? You fucking wouldnt is my guess

My expectation is that they all should be slightly higher than the market price so that the seller can make a profit. That’s how it was with all trades on localmonero. Have you even ever done a cash by mail trade?

could be a old listing, and if you try to trade they will cancel and relist at the current rate

Isn’t this kind of a bullshit reason akin to a “bait and switch” offer that would make people hesitant to use RetoSwap?

OK, I guess I’ll take your word for it, but XMR never was offered for less than market value for cash by mail trades on localmonero.co.

Letely, the price is going up but many of those offers may have been made a day ago or something.

This is the whole thrust of my question. Are these “old” offers from “a day ago” that will suddenly increase when I respond to the “old” offer or are the sellers committed to the advertised price, even if it’s below market value?

Also, some people may be willing to take a little haircut to get the trade done fast.

Really? Sellers do that?

I don’t understand what you mean. Right now the value of 1 XMR is $213 USD. There are sell offers ranging from $208 to $236. The cash market exchange rate should be the same for all offers, right? Why would someone want to sell XMR for below market rate?

I think you misunderstood my question. I posed it as a buyer responding to a sell offer. Why would a seller offer XMR for $5 less than market value and want to lose money?

I appreciate the new release, but I’m not sure I’m comfortable with telemetry being collected for any reason.

Sorry, I was incorrect. I thought they did, but they actually don’t.

Agreed, but right now the max amount of XMR you can purchase on Haveno via cash by mail seems to be limited to $2000-3000, way less than the maximums we saw on localmonero.co.

Oops, I see that now. You’d have to purchase LTC or BTC and then swap.

Thanks for the update. https://lemmy.cafe/c/monero doesn’t block Tor, but no one ever posts there except rottenwheel.

The issue with Majestic Bank has been that they’d advertise a certain conversion rate (e.g. XMR/USD), then jack that rate up significantly unbeknownst to you at the last second right before you hit send. Not sure if they still do that but they tried to do it to me (and others) once and I never used them again. I posted on r/monero about this a couple of years ago.

How can I not start tails-tor on OS startup? Tails is the OS. Do you mean don’t connect to a network after Tails boots to the home screen?

Which Tails folder/directory would I run those 2 commands in?
