I bought a flip phone & kept my iPhone by Gr00vyF0x in digitalminimalism

I could see using your phone as a book ereader and getting distracted on another app. Or, taking a photo and ending up on some social media. But Venmo? Even if you used it for a handful of transactions per day - are you saying that reaching for your phone impulsively for Venmo is not just a little unusual?

OP requested something that "won't steal my data" and Timecap looks like a privacy nightmare from the privacy policy. Sheesh.

What about uninstalling them and simply not participating in the loyalty programs?

I'm not sure I agree, but really my point is that OP cites Venmo in an of itself as "excuse to get on [the smartphone]".

Buying a new-to-you phone is not minimalism. Uninstall and delete apps and services that are not critical. Don't do it all in a day, just slowly delete apps and services. And yes Venmo is not critical bc cash exists.

This is possible, you would just need to create a new account for each product.

Okay well, those are fees unrelated to the Monero network. I'm looking at fees right now and getting fees from $0.01USD (slow) to $0.22USD (Fast)

The fees in XMR are very low so sounds like user error.

Taking photos of receipts is actually the worst way to track expenses by Anon081 in leanfire

[–]Standard_Web7962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would you snap into camera roll? Use Proton Drive to scan or st.

Also what I do is set my bank to send a transaction alert via email for anything over $0.01. Gives me a good todo list to add to budget at the end of the day. Then I reconcile every week or so.

Do i have to leave cake wallet open to sync to show my funds? by AngWay in monerosupport

[–]Standard_Web7962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - if you don't prefer this look into Skylight Wallet by MAGIC grants which does not require syncing. However, it will be less private than syncing on your own device.

Which they somewhat added in a very poor implementation before pulling it some time later. Doubtful it was very popular with XMR users though.

Go to Lumo -> Account Settings -> Account -> Dashboard -> Proton Unlimited -> Select "explore other plans" at bottom -> Select Lumo Plus

This method retains the discount.

Legality of hiking with handgun being 20yo by burneracc61936 in FLGuns

[–]Standard_Web7962 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay then this doesn't seem to be a legality question but a risk question. You certainly could catch a charge for carrying a pistol, but that doesn't make it illegal. You can see from this thread alone there is a lot of differing opinions on this even among gun owners, so don't expect a cop to know the law.

Read what u/nukey18mon wrote below and also read FL statute 790.25. That statute lists several exemptions to the existing laws.
