It's a donation platform that uses Monero, and therefore, even if, for some reason, they took down your page, you still could receive money.
Yeah but how tf do you buy things with monero? 😭
I spent an afternoon trying to work it out once, and it's not exactly intuitive, and it seems like the people who convert from normal money into crypto still hold all the strings :/
Buying a product is actually rather easy. You're just presented with an address and an amount and you can copy and paste that address and amount into your wallet and click send. You are also presented with a QR code where you can scan it and a lot of websites even present a open with wallet button that you click and it will auto fill in the address and amount necessary.
You're ignoring the fact that you have to:
Crypto is many things, but it isn't exactly as friendly as a credit card provided by your bank. Or PayPal, for that matter.
Been a sec I used XMR, but getting a secure wallet was simply built into the desktop gui wallet (which is the default recommended option on getmonero.org). While getting that wallet it also tells you to backup the seed phase (preferably by printing it iirc). It has a simple mode especially for non-tech users.
So installing the GUI wallet takes care of 3/4 points, then to fund it you just find any reputable crypto exchange that supports sending Monero in your region (I used kraken before in the eu). By design in Monero the platform (which does have to do KYC probably) doesn't know anything about where they sent the money. Transactions are not traceable in Monero.
so why should anyone have any faith in a crypto exchange not doing the exact same shit as paypal? if they know their customers and if they can plainly see that one of their customers accepts monero for something they don't like, they don't have to prove that any money has gone to them, they could simply lock them out of any future exchanges just by way of pointing out that they advertise a monero address (or whatever) even if they can't link it back to them
what if I don't have a "wallet"? the fuck is a wallet in this context anyways?
