  • Been a sec I used XMR, but getting a secure wallet was simply built into the desktop gui wallet (which is the default recommended option on getmonero.org). While getting that wallet it also tells you to backup the seed phase (preferably by printing it iirc). It has a simple mode especially for non-tech users.

    So installing the GUI wallet takes care of 3/4 points, then to fund it you just find any reputable crypto exchange that supports sending Monero in your region (I used kraken before in the eu). By design in Monero the platform (which does have to do KYC probably) doesn’t know anything about where they sent the money. Transactions are not traceable in Monero.














  • The FOSS launcher Lawnchair is actually pretty great. Took some setting up, but now it does everything nova did for me.

    Sideloading though, yeah I really hope that doesn’t go through. Fun fact even now I can’t use a local gov’t because I have an accessibility service running that was ‘sideloaded’ (it’s from Lawnchair, if you want double tap to lock you need it)
