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? ๐Ÿ˜ญ

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:

  • get a wallet
  • make sure your wallet is secure
  • fund the wallet from a trusted source
  • back up your wallet

Crypto is many things, but it isn't exactly as friendly as a credit card provided by your bank. Or PayPal, for that matter.

your wallet

what if I don't have a "wallet"? the fuck is a wallet in this context anyways?
