This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
What would be some examples of things you pay for with monero that you'd usually have to jump through hoops for?
VPS and domain, primarily.
Thanks for the reply. Isn't obtaining Monero more difficult then paying for those things on your card? Or are you doing it for the anonymity?
I personally did it because sanctions made my card not work. So it was either paying with Monero directly, or finding a middleman and hoping he wouldn't scam you, not to mention that the latter would probably have higher fees than a Monero seller. But once sanctions are gone, I would probably continue doing so, just because I prefer not to use my bank card at all)
Very fair point.
