Questions about an unverified account

I recently got interested in crypto trading and made a Binance account earlier. I had planned to purchase around $20 worth of Bitcoin to start, and depending on how everything goes perhaps purchase more at a later date.

When I went to buy via Visa, I got a notification saying that my limit to purchase is $0, and that in order to raise my limit to $5000 I need to verify, among other things, my face and a piece of government ID. While address and name are fine, face and ID are raising some serious red flags for me (as someone who is nervous about identity theft). I read the terms of service, certainly, and I understand the need for security, however facial recognition seems rather excessive for low level trades (I can hardly see myself making several grand).

Is the only way I can purchase bitcoin through Binance to verify my face?

When should you use this guide Connecting to a third party remote node is not an option (threat model, agency, etc.) You are not able to host a private .onion remote node outside of Tails (with e.g. PiNode-XMR ) Running Qubes+Whonix is not an option This guide does not require setting up a root password or making changes to the firewall. For instructions on how to set up a wallet on Tails with a remote node, visit: http://xmrguide42y34onq.onion/tails What you will need 1 SSF USB (Tails+Blockchain) OR a regular USB (Tails) + external SSD (Blockchain) Corsair Flash Voyager GTX (CMFVYGTX3C-128GB) Sandisk Extreme PRO (SDCZ880-128G-G46) Samsung Portable SSD T5 A computer with at least 4 GB of RAM and an USB 3.0 port Some technical competence The device that stores the blockchain should have a capacity of at least 100 GB.

Monero node on an external HDD?

Do we need to use a 64+ GB USB 3.0 flash drive to download the monero node through tails or can we just download the monero node on Windows, store it on an external hard drive then just access it through tails with the monero GUI? My computer doesn't even support USB 3.0, and still stuck on 2.0 ports on an old gaming laptop, so I don't see a good reason to drop $50 just to have a secure monero wallet when I already have plenty of hard drives and space. I do boot windows from an SSD but don't really have 50gb to spare for a wallet. submitted by /u/waitwaitwaitup [link] [comments] via Monero: the secure, private, untraceable currency https://ift.tt/317KTeY
