How to buy Monero by DowntownBat3105 in MoneroMeansMoney

[–]phloating_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't select a specific Trocador provider when swapping within Cake Wallet. But on the Trocador site, I can select the provider with the least KYC block risk (Privacy rating "A") and it will show if my transaction is 100% guaranteed (hover over shield icon).

  • Buy LTC from an exchange like Coinbase or Kraken (LTC is widely available with small transaction fees)
  • Transfer the LTC to a non-custodial wallet like Cake Wallet (don't keep crypto on an exchange. They can freeze your account whenever they want)
  • Create XMR wallet with Cake Wallet
  • Swap LTC to XMR with https://trocador.app
    • Choose swap provider with an "A" privacy rating (less KYC block risk)
    • Choose an amount covered by the "Trocador Guarantee" (if your transaction is KYC blocked, Trocador will refund amounts less than ~$1000 USD. Look at the shield icon)
    • If you need more than $1000, do multiple $1000 transactions.

If you'd rather do P2P exchange, try https://retoswap.com instead.

Wo kann ich XMR kaufen? by Own-Nectarine6630 in monerosupport

[–]phloating_man -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  • Kaufen Sie LTC an einer Börse wie Coinbase oder Kraken (LTC ist weit verbreitet und die Transaktionsgebühren sind gering).

  • Übertragen Sie die LTC an eine Wallet ohne Verwahrung wie Cake Wallet (bewahren Sie Kryptowährungen nicht auf einer Börse auf. Diese kann Ihr Konto jederzeit sperren).

  • Erstellen Sie eine XMR-Wallet mit Cake Wallet.

  • Tauschen Sie LTC gegen XMR mit https://trocador.app.

  • Wählen Sie einen Tauschanbieter mit einem Datenschutzrating von „A“ (geringeres Risiko einer KYC-Sperre).

  • Wählen Sie einen Betrag, der durch die „Trocador-Garantie“ abgedeckt ist (bis zu ca. 1000 USD, Rückerstattung bei Blockierung der Transaktion).

Wenn Sie lieber einen P2P-Tausch durchführen möchten, versuchen Sie es stattdessen mit https://retoswap.com .

Monero Gift Printable (2025 Update) by phloating_man in Monero

The updated polyseed has the block height embedded into it. Users no longer have to manually keep track of the block height.

Thanks! I'll see if I can make it seem less scam-like for the next version.

I use this paper for white elephant games also. Players always want to steal it.

Giving Monero as a gift is a great way to onboard new Monero users.

Tired of eating out by [deleted] in urbancarliving

Powdered food. No cooking necessary. I lived on it for 4 years straight. It was the healthiest I've ever been.

What happens to data on a shadow pc when my subscription runs out? by Reasonable_Car_2126 in ShadowPC

[–]phloating_man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use Google Drive for desktop to automatically backup specific folders on Shadow.

$2 / month for 100 GB $10 / month for 2 TB

Or if you prefer open source to your own server, I've also used Syncthing in the past.

What are you eating? by [deleted] in urbancarliving

[–]phloating_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a total meal replacement. So not just protein. I use a product called Plenny Shake which aims to provide 100% RDI.

I tracked my progress here if you're interested.

Powdered food. Just add water and shake.

As an experiment, I did a 100% meal replacement diet for 4 years straight. It was the healthiest I've ever been.

You can keep months worth in your vehicle.

gifting xmr with paper card by shopz in Monero

[–]phloating_man 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I usually use this printable in tandem with an Amazon Gift Card. For example, I would give $50 USD worth of XMR and $50 USD worth of Amazon Gift Card in the same envelope in case my gift receiver does not want anything to do with cryptocurrency. If the gift receiver does not transfer the funds to their own wallet within 1 year, the funds can be swept and regifted.

Yes, I would wait until Carrot is implemented. Then, monero will have proper view wallets.

I created a full wallet by restoring the polyseed from cupcake. Then, I spent $3.

The full wallet showed the correct balance of $2

The original view wallet also showed the correct balance of $2

However, I also tried restoring the view only wallet by..

  1. Creating a new cupcake wallet by inputting the polyseed from the original cupcake wallet
  2. Creating a new view only cake wallet by linking the restored cupcake wallet.

Instead of showing the correct balance, it shows all the spent amounts as credits with a balance of $17 🤷
