I was feeling cute so I decided to go to my local supermarket and purchase some Bitcoin for cash and open up a Lightning channel with nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n #greenlight #LSP
Was kinda annoyed that they forced you to hand over an ID but it worked as smooth as butter
South Africans can purchase #Bitcoin directly on LN at their Checkers, Shoprite, USave or even their local post office with cash or card with orders between R50 - R5000 ($2.86 - $286)
I keep hearing that in the US you can buy non-KYC bitcoin at ATMs, but my mom bought some from an ATM a while back (surprisingly) and it also required her info to complete the transaction. So at the very least, not all Bitcoin ATMs are non-KYC.
Definitely not. And for the ones that have that option the limit is very low.

Amazing! Also bizarre you had to show ID for just R500!
The premium also wasn't that bad, 5% isn't the worst I've ever seen, and the KYC is not a hard pass, its pretty easy to get someone to purchase on your behalf and since its on LN, you don't have an on-chain transaction tied to your purchase
