I'm interested in this, I did buy a small amount but struggling to spend it anywhere? Even when I bought a Trezor hardware wallet I had to use LTC... I know I can pay for Mullvad with it when my subscription expires in two years lol
I also can't find any no-KYC place to buy it now LocalMonero is closed.
They use mobile data over here so it can be very slow in spotty areas, but most populated areas in the UK have full 4G/5G.
Yeah I always use throwaway cards from my bank online, game changer. Even if just free trials so they can't charge me if I accidentally don't cancel
Plenty of cash only businesses in the UK that engage in this, although of course just because a business is cash only, doesn't mean they're a tax dodge.
IMO the two things are separate: it should be the tax office that does audits to catch this. It's not very hard to see a vape shop that makes £500 a month with two top model BMWs outside might be dodgy.
I'm finding supermarkets locking their regular prices behind an app or loyalty card is getting out of control. Out of all the major supermarkets, ONLY Aldi has nothing of the sort currently.
Tesco and Sainsbury's will often have a £3 item that costs £6 without their loyalty card. Of course it's £3 in every other shop: it's not a special offer for members, it's a punishment price for those who don't give away their data.
Yes, even the buses and vending machines and car park meters and public toilets have tap to pay. It is certainly very convenient but I think it does encourage spending more, and of course it means literally everything you do is tracked. Luckily I've found that most places still do accept cash but there are definitely a few who don't.
Ah, my girlfriend's approach. No matter how much I show her a pwned password or set her up on my Vaultwarden, she's not interested
Its trivial to run Invidious through a VPN via Gluetun if you use Docker.
When I'm on Invidious, all my requests come from one of Proton's IP addresses, amongst everyone else using YouTube on that Proton server. I'm not logged into YouTube and Google cannot load their ads, trackers and other spyware in my browser.
All they have to go on is the Proton IP, searches, and watched videos
Invidious will show you related videos to the one you're watching but not the suggested tab of YouTube. I see it as a good thing though, I really don't need another black box algorithm controlling me.
No, same in the UK. How could you force them to take cash if they don't want to?
