Hey #bisq users. When you trade with Zelle, do you put your real cell phone number? That seems like a huge security risk to me... my cell phone will pop up in countless public record searches, so I don't want to share that information as I buy Bitcoin.

Do you use a burner number? How, if its linked to your bank?

You can buy cheap verification code with Bitcoin or Monero. Not sure if it's possible with Zelle though. You might give a try to smspool.net or sms4sats.com (LN⚡) or others

But Zelle number needs to be linked to a bank account. Do you use disposable verification numbers tied to your Zelle account?

I don't use Zelle as it isn't available to my country. It's just a way to obfuscate your phone number to your BTC dealer. Please do not use SMS verification as a 2FA for your Zelle account. Maybe asolutikon like MySudo would be more easily trusted however I can't use their service in my jurisdiction and it might be the same for you.
