I'm not sure if I understood your problem correctly but, have you tried robosats?

No. *Goes to google it* My problem is buying sats from stuff other than my bank account.

If you want Bitcoin, you're going to have to exchange fiat for it. Its either going to come from your bank and go to the person selling you sats (could be P2P and they don't need KYC, like robosats) or you can find someone in person and trade them cash or do a job for them and get paid in BTC. Probably easier to use a fiat payment rail over robosats or bisq. Non KYC sats isn't easy.

In robosats or hodlhodl you can buy btc making a transfer from your bank account, meeting with someone in person, or other methods (then one I use is a service my bank provide where I can get a code to take money out of an atm and I send that code to the person selling the sat

The thing is that in none of these methods you have to give your bank account to anyone

I've heard this mentioned. It's also integrated into the Wallet of Satoshi mobile app, so if you do all the account creation stuff in that app and choose buy sats it'll route you to this Moonpay. I tried but their AI couldn't parse my utility bill and gave up.

Holy shit that app is horrible! Not only it's the slowest app I've ever used, the "send" function is not working. I made the mistake of buying 20 euro worth of Bitcoin in there and now it's stuck in there. 😖 If you're not using it now, don't start.

Good grief, Charlie Brown. Thanks for the tip!

Someone here just recommended me this peachbitcoin.com where you can buy sats with no KYC, a peer to peer market model. People sell their sats with a markup over what you'd pay if you bought them though a KYC app, seems around 8% premium (you can set a threshold for the premium over KYC and see what offers come through for that threshold).

Test Flight on iOS and full app on Android. I plan to give it a go later on, will let you know if any luck

Thanks!

Yeah can't recommend this peach either, an offer shows, you tap, but turns out it's been claimed and not removed from results, and the app doesn't remove claimed offers from results for days it seems, so you never know which offers are valid. Seems neglected. Also pretty buggy. Makes more sense to just buy via Primal app and lose the 30%, offers on peach are around 20% anyway.

Dunno yo. Buying sats is just way too hard for new users. Did you manage to get that Moonpay to send out?

I did finally manage to move the money. It was all super slow and frustrating. I would definitely use Primal again, but I think they removed the option to buy sats from the app with the latest update. ☹️ Idk why. It was soo smooth and convenient. I made a new account (since I got rid of my first account where I bought with Primal 'cause I was too careless with my nsec) and now I can't find an option anywhere in the primal wallet to buy new sats.

#Primal , are you gonna bring the buying option back? Why'd you remove it?

Could it be you missed the little dollar sign icon top right corner in the wallet view? For me first time it had this big "Buy sats" button, then second time and beyond got to go via that top right icon, easily missed.

I don't see it. 🥺

Hmm, yeah, odd. Maybe you're out of country? They use Strike in their backend, are you somewhere outside of this list?
