nostr:npub1235tem4hfn34edqh8hxfja9amty73998f0eagnuu4zm423s9e8ksdg0ht5 does this infer any real life benefit or is it just for internet street cred?
no idea myself really but i thought the less KYC, the better
Go to store, pay cash, no?
Buy it second hand with cash from Craigslist (USA) or Gumtree (Aus, Canada, Singapore) or any other classifieds site in person. Use an anon.
Factory reset the device and then install Graphene. No KYC, no link to the IMEI…A fresh start and a huge cost saving.
Trade off - the person you are buying the phone off has tampered with it. Likelihood??? Slimmmmmmmm to none.
Or use a gift card to purchase the phone in store… Give bogus identifying details if asked…
Are you going to bring the phone home or to work? Snowden said it's a waste of effort.
