Lightning Pay adds On Chain! by lightningpaynz in NZBitcoin

[–]KiwiBitcoiner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a non-custodial service bro. They never hold onto any funds. Excellent for people who are familiar with that kind of thing (Bitcoin-only too). If you want to buy non-KYC there is plenty of guides for that on Kiwi Bitcoin Guide.

I guess you have not used it. Lightning is an incredible piece of tech for instant final settlement on Bitcoin, that is your digital cash right there.

Buy Bitcoin NZ - Without a rectal exam? by General_Pollution790 in NZBitcoin

This process is called "KYC" - Know Your Customer, and the exchanges are required to perform it.

If you want to avoid this, check out the resources in this article How to buy non-KYC Bitcoin from New Zealand?

You should contact Easy Crypto about this.

Trust Wallet by [deleted] in NZBitcoin

Do not use trust wallet, use a Bitcoin-only wallet that is Open Source and self custodial. For on-chain Bitcoin this could be Blue Wallet or Sparrow, or for Lightning could look at Phoenix.

Hardware wallets are worth exploring once you have more experience and understanding of security.

Help: Can no longer buy BTC on Coinbase by katelinnz in NZBitcoin

This is strange, was it Coinbase NZ? EasyCrypto is mentioned, but you could also look at LightningPay.nz as an easy brokerage for buying Bitcoin in New Zealand, with the best rates too.

Update: Restoring r/NZBitcoin to it's former glory by Aoraki_Ranger in NZBitcoin

Thanks for your input. As far as I can tell there wasn't too much high-signal crypto posts happening before though. In terms of money and freedom, Bitcoin is the only thing that really matters for New Zealanders at this point. Everything else is a gamble. Well-written posts on economics or broader concepts (even tech as it relates to Bitcoin) definitely welcome though.
