Something you can remember...
Catch alls are most useful when you are away and you need to give an email out. If you can't remember the domain that becomes a pain.
Its really easy to get into MaM and TL, from MaM you can get invites to quality mid tier trackers such as BHD, Orpheus, Seedpool, Aither, ANT, and LST. For the vast majority of users that is going to cover all their needs.
Its just not worth spending money to buy invites.
You basically need a seedbox on the higher tier trackers and at that point debrid services are a better value.
You lost me at step 1 use shady Chinese site known for scams.
As an American it's nice to see were not the only ones in a complete downward spiral.
Imagine owning a house or property in 2025 lol
Yeah. I think people can become obsessive over it. I also think there is a large group of users who gamify privacy and act as if its an mmo quest where they just need to collect the best tools to win instead of being responsible and understanding threat modelling.
I wouldn't trust it. It's using a ton of marketing jargon such as "military grade encryption" to make you think its doing more then it is.
This is not providing anything that more proven services already provide.
Sorry if I am misunderstanding what you need.
The most private way to buy Monero would be using https://haveno.exchange/ (no KYC, transactions over Tor)
In terms of wallets I think Feather or Cake Wallet is the way to go.
Its a bit odd to see an employee of a company that has always had a terrible privacy policy now be suddenly alarmed.
I'm a bit surprised that this request is creating so much friction. This to me, is just a run of the mill "help me find a free download of this software" request that shows up all the time here.
I'm not comfortable trying to build this myself. I am happy to just use the inactive Clementine media player this is forked off of if people are really so offended by my request.
I totally understand why the dev wants to be paid, I'm just not going to be the one to do it.
Only on you ;)
