well, if you're talking about COA, the most reliable method I've come across is checking the Vendor site or browsing the Vendor review section, just digging through. Also, there's a Telegram (app) group that's been super useful and gets mentioned here a lot, but I'm not sure if sharing it would violate the rules and I don't want to go against the admin rules.

What's the reason to avoid exodus? It's the most widely used, dependable, and straightforward option....

I'm not sure I'd call Exodus the most popular—it probably varies by platform.

Looking at iOS: Trust wallet shows 198K reviews, while Exodus sits at 36K. Personally, I prefer Trust wallet.
 
@ultima thule Way back, ages ago, I came into the world at St Michaels in Dun Laighoire. Only a few months back I went there for the BEST Indian food - Rasam, have you tried it? Send me a DM. I'd love to talk with an Irish pepper, but I don't want to fill up the forums!

The northwest is really lovely. I'm envious.

That's a fact...and my work has me on the road every day across the entire region. Donegal, Sligo, Roscommon, Leitrim, Mayo...an incredible country and I genuinely adore it.
 
Donegal holds a special place in my heart! It's simply stunning. *sigh* Up at the top of the diamond, there's this tiny

bakery—their jam doughnut was hands down the greatest I've ever tasted. And the mussels at the castle bar? Oh my—I'm ready to book a flight right now

I'm also just starting out, so I'll attempt to break this down in simple terms and hope someone jumps in if I get something wrong. I already had a Coinbase account simply because I'd been curious about how simple buying bitcoin was some time ago. Opening the account was really straightforward, and I connected it to PayPal so I could get money INTO the account, after which purchasing Bitcoin was a breeze.

From what I'm piecing together for this whole process:

step 1) set up an account that supports crypto (Coinbase, Kraken)

step 2) Move funds into that account from your bank or PayPal

Step 3) Purchase a stable coin within it (USDT, USDC)

Step 4) Purchase "gas" which I'm assuming handles the transaction fees, so roughly 15 bucks of ETH and 15 of Sol, since those appear to be the "gas" that most of these transactions need in order to send

Step 5) Set up a Phantom or Exodus account (this serves as the middleman where you'll shift the money to, so your transaction stays clear of legal issues?)

Step 6) move the money from your selected Crypto account over to your selected Middleman account

( Personal experience)

I opened Exodus and didn't even have to make an account, it just created a wallet on its own

  • hit receive USDC (and there was a dropdown for Sol- which my merchant prefers), that gave me a copyable link.
  • went over to Coinbase, clicked pay and then pasted that. Now I've got TWO DOLLARS sitting in a wallet and will hopefully send that to the vendor once I receive some kind of payment code
Step 7) Pay the Vendor, and a lot of people suggest sending a very small amount first just to confirm you've got the transaction right.

For months now, I've done nothing but read, read, and read some more. At last, I've gathered enough nerve (and, I hope, enough understanding) to go ahead with my very first order. Your incredibly simple steps are the ones I followed (THANK YOU 😍) - now I'm just waiting for the code from the vendor I picked so I can send a small test payment, and if that goes smoothly, I'll pay for my first order! I'm excited and scared 😱
