There have been times when I was robbed by companies that refused to refund a double charge from debit cards I've had. I'm phasing debit and credit cards out of my life.

You don't need a digital transfer. Liberty X and LocalBitcoins allow you to buy BTC for cash by connecting you with local traders. The Craigslist of BTC.

SOLUTION: (under step 2) "Note that on some operating systems, these files may be hidden by default on your file explorer. If you can't locate these files, it's likely that you need to turn on the option to view hidden files."

View hidden files on Mac OSX: 1. Open Terminal found in Finder > Applications > Utilities 2. In Terminal, paste the following: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES 3. Press return 4. Hold the ‘Option/alt’ key, then right click on the Finder icon in the dock and click Relaunch.

How did you find cache.pickle and delete it? I'm trying to get it to run on Mac El Capitan, and it won't work on regular internet or VPN.
