I know right? Odysee all the way!!! You're missing Vimeo on your list, too... ;-)

Then there is Bastyon that also hosts videos.

Good one, I like Bastyon as they pay you for content, although Odysee sort of does too with the tipping. I mostly tip on Odysee for content I like trying to encourage people to use it. I've been trying to day trade LBC to bump up my holdings so I can donate for "free" but so far it hasn't been working all that great :/

I'm trying to get the odysee coins, and I can't seem to buy any. I am even ready to send BTC for it, but nope...

Ahh, my first opportunity to do a referral code. I got mine on Coinex - opened an account solely to get LBC (its the only way I knew how to get it) and I really like the platform. Best thing is no KYC (no id) until you hit some super high monetary amount. So I recommend it for really almost all crypto trading. No problems so far though they do have some minimums you have to reach before you can send crypto to it.

Is it comparable or better than CoinBase?

I haven't started looking into this yet, but we're going to need some crypto donate options for 1) me personally, and several projects like 2) Cassandra Team / Projex.Wiki, 3) Giraffe Ideas, my local production studio, 4) Windsor Freedom Rally, 5) FAWC and FAWCC, Freedom Alliance of and for Windsor (Communications) Cooperative, and soon other local Windsor groups (lending trust / food bank, alt-employment board, alt-educators, alt-legal, front line workers, auto workers, etc etc etc).

Plus, many of these will need to have accounting either fully open/transparent for the entire world to see, or just for those in groups, or just those in leadership teams of the groups.

Do you have any recommendations on how to manage all of this?

No, sorry I am really just a simple end user of crypto. I barely understand it. I like the exchange Coinex, would recommend it for people wanting to trade especially if they want to trade a little more privately. Supposedly, Coinex is based in China so I don't know that it would be good for what you are looking for. Although at this time it seems like donations could be made to an address held there relatively anonymously. So maybe it would work for the short term but once you hit a certain dollar volume they do require KYC. Plus I don't think you'd want China to be able to have ultimate control over what you are doing there. There's got to be others with more expertise on crypto that could give much better advice.

Thanks for the info.
Seems like people should split their assets up to avoid the KYC thing.

Or use only Monero, the data protection, privacy, anonymity, untraceability coin.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Saved and noted. Sounds good, but I also heard there was the problem that there is no maximum limit to the number of Monero coin that can be produced - thus creating problems I fully don't comprehend about scarcity etc..

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

That is true, however mining Monero is VERY difficult and truly is not profitable. That is a fairly tough cap on how much supply there can be.

I mean, if you do everything right, and your power is cheap, you can look at 2-5 years ROI on your equipment by mining Monero, while you are looking at 2-3 months mining Ethereum. At current valuations.

In other words, the only people mining monero are those who know how great the crypto is, and not people who are out to make a buck.

This makes the supply side of XMR (Monero) a vastly different proposition than that of BTC or ETH.

For example, I'm running a $1000 CAD CPU and it's going to take me a full year to mine a single XMR, which is worth US$ 215 at the moment. That's not counting the RAM or the motherboard, etc. because I can still use the computer for other things while it's mining. 16 cores / 32 threads will do that for you. Still, counting power I won't get my investment back in 5 years' time.

I'm also mining Ethereum, and for that, CAD$2500 worth of hardware is grossing me US$ 320 per month, or CAD $ 480, minus power for a net of 361 a month. But back when this equipment was bought, I was grossing CAD $800 a month with it.

Completely different ball game. The supply of XMR is not constrained as per the coin, but the hardware requirements are the real constraint.

Finally made a deposit and a trade, got some LBC, now coinex wants 24h for everything to clear before I can withdraw. Seems like a very legitimate exchange, will use it again! Thanks!

You must have received whatever tiny reward there is for that referral by now?

Cool!

Thanks I just logged in and see I do have .59 CET - a new coin to follow I guess. Glad you find coinex to be working well for you. I haven't really been making any trades because I was going to buy, when the value goes up, sell, and then when it goes back down buy it back, but so far things have only gone down. This is not how it is supposed to work! HODLing.
