I do this and I use Proton as my email provider. I think as long as you set the email security standards, which Proton, for example, teaches you how to do, you should be fine.

From what I understand, silent payments only gives the sender the ability to generate addresses that the receiver can pull Bitcoin from. So it protects the receiver, but it does not protect the sender and it does not protect the amounts. This is a step in the right direction for Bitcoin, but it’s still nothing compared to Monero.

Edit: Instead of having the receiver manually have to give you a new address that’s fresh every single time you want to pay them. This automatically can generate new addresses to pay them without their input.

Started using Linux in 2010 on a virtual machine on a Windows XP machine that was really not meant to run it and it was God awful. But I knew that it was the virtual machine not Linux itself. After that I was using my laptop for school and a Windows update completely broke it and I absolutely had to use it for the next class that I was going to in like five minutes and I had a flash drive with a live Linux environment already on it and so I just used that. However, once I was done with class that day, my first thought was why should I even go in and attempt to fix this Windows machine when Linux has been working fine for me all day. And so I just went ahead and wiped the disk and ran the installer. And I’ve been using Linux ever since. I do generally keep a Windows virtual machine around, just in case, but it’s extremely rare that I’ve ever needed to use it.

I mostly follow the Dave Ramsey every dollar plan. So I have my budget worked out in such a way that once I’m done paying everything and moving money around, my bank account has like $5 in it that’s just there to absorb any weird charges I might forget about. It doesn’t normally happen, but it helps to have it just for that reason. I also have a specific amount that I put into my savings every month and the vast majority of my money I take out of the fiat system entirely every single month.

It is definitely possible to place rent some places with crypto. Any that will accept a debit card at least. As far as the credit card bill you could be right about that one. Credit card bills, car payments, and mortgages are the hardest ones to deal with since they are direct bank withdrawals.

Sorry, its pixelfed. I corrected the original comment, but wanted to make sure that you knew there was a misspelling.

Why insta and not pixelfed?

Keep in mind that article is two years old.

I personally don’t have a PDF reader since Firefox can open them and so can Fossify Files

None that I’m aware of. I guess it’s possible, but I have not seen it be the case yet.

Edit: I can tell you for a fact that the ones I’m listing are legitimate. And if you don’t believe me, try purchasing one with the multi-signature escrow.

I’ve been involved in crypto since like 2013 or 2014 and the most common thing that I buy with crypto is my groceries.

I got some oceanfront property in Arizona. I’d be glad to sell you.

It’s also used to buy baking pans, dove soap, coffee makers, and toasters. Xmrbazaar.com

Firefox gets tons of funding from Google, and their code is quite frankly humongous. From what I understand, it’s extremely hard to get the gecko web view engine to work. In another browser, unless it’s a fork of Firefox, unlike Chromium where you can just redesign an entire browser around it.

Fair enough, there’s some really golden information in this thread.

What about those military things that they use to disperse crowds? Where it makes you feel like your skin is cooking, but it’s actually not. I feel like that uses high power and high frequency radio waves to accomplish that.

The higher the frequency, the worse that is. So standing very close to an HF antenna that only broadcasts up to like say 30 megahertz is different than standing next to a 700 megahertz cell phone antenna, which is different from standing next to a 2.5 gigahertz cell phone antenna. The reasoning for that is due to power levels and wavelength of the radio signal itself.

You know, that’s a good point. I didn’t even think of that. But you’re right.

Also, they will lose. The FCC has said that the companies can build towers where they are needed for coverage. They might have to make it look like a tree or something, but they cannot be rejected from building it.
