Experiment: claim this ecash, but use a caesar cypher tool to shift the characters 21 spaces (including numbers) so the bots can't scrape & steal it.

Yep, I'd much rather buy it now than after my lease is up. Paying $1K to avoid a bigger security deposit doesn't sound so bad.
There is definitely the risk that they keep the whole $3K after a year or two of me renting. I figure I pay the $1K, pile into more No-KYC BTC with the other $2K, and be done with it.
I'm used to CLI at this point, but that is a good option that would have saved me weeks of frustration a few years back.
What's your preferred setup? I use a bare-metal optiplex but I might try out the proxmoxbox at my new apartment.
I was shown the place by a realtor but I haven't met the homeowners. The realtor's explanation is that it gives an option for those who can't afford 2 months rent to secure the property and cover any potential wear-and-tear. Security deposits are pretty normal here, but many places do a move-in fee instead.
That's good to know. But if I can avoid locking up money for a year by paying a one time fee, I might do it. Their ask is legal here.
I have a choice to make: We are renting a new place, and the landlords are giving me the choice between a full month's rent for a security deposit, or a third of that amount as a one-time fee.
I have the money for the full security deposit, but I'll probably come out ahead if I pay the one-time fee and invest the difference.
Should I pay $1000 to avoid giving a 1-year interest-free $3000 loan to my landlord?
As every other Saturday, tomorrow is the Old San Juan Farmers’ Market at Ballajá area. A few farmers accept #bitcoin and you can reserve products thru their website, pick it up tomorrow or have them shipped.

I like flying Lotus, but the Beastie Boys did a good instrumental album called The Mix Up that you may enjoy.
Just went through a similar situation. You would be valuable to many companies, you'll find the right one. Also, you will improve at the interview process the more you do.
