Good luck with that, most smart people are going to go to different stores likely in different towns wearing camera obscuring clothes and buy prepaid gift cards with cash

Then make purchases on sites that don't require financial information and probably pay some buddies or associates to act as parcel receival addresses to then forward to them

Could even pay associates or friends to go and buy the prepaid gift cards for you

This is a peer-to-peer platform that uses Monero as its currency in order to protect financial privacy. It also has a non-custodial escrow system so that both buyer and seller are sure the money is actually there.

Yo thats cool would be nice if this could operate in a federated manner. Would give it the robustness to withstand the alphabet bois.

There was at one point a couple of years ago a system called Open Bazaar which I think could be forked and brought back to life that could do something like this.

Dude I pray everyday that someone will re open it. Such an amazing technology that was extremely under appreciated

They kind of made all the wrong mistakes though. First of all, it was just too early for decentralized markets to really take off. Second of all, it was after the Bitcoin block size wars and they chose Bitcoin anyway, and third, they used venture capital funding. I think if somebody redid it with Monero and community funding instead of venture capital, it might actually work.

thanks for sharing, Monero is the way.

Glad I can help improving the circular economy is something that needs to be talked about.
