    I don’t know how safe this is, but what I do:

    1. Make a local XMR wallet, backup, and host your own blockchain
    2. Buy regular crypto, say LTC, from a legit exchange with KYC
    3. Swap that to XMR on an anon swap/exchange, storing in your wallet 3 (optional). Move from your first wallet to another, for extra safety???

    Spend it where you can, not many places. BTCPay server, which can be self-hosted, supports it, so there are options.








  • The only time I’ve willingly used a banking app is when they lock out my VPN IP. In those cases the app still usually works for whatever reason. So far, I haven’t found any functionality missing from the webapp, but I’m also dealing with brick and mortar institutions.

    I would be concerned as they will eventually probably move to a phone app first ecosystem, however it will probably take a while. Some people are still only using in person and phone banking (where you call them and punch in numbers).
