  how do I know a fair price to pay cash for monero?
• 05:16
  Mochi101
  saunders, only you and the seller can discover that together.
• 05:17
  Mochi101
  If nobody is selling for cash and you want to buy for cash, what can you do besides pay more until they decide it's worthwhile for them to sell.

  check localmonero.co to get an idea.

  spoiler alert, it's a very wide spread over online exchanges. but what do you expect when you want a human to take the time and risk of meeting you?
• 05:22
  Mochi101
  saunders, if you're really located in Vancouver it should be easy as apple pie finding someone on localmonero
• 05:23
  Mochi101
  If not, there's always Hope

  Mochi101
  or Chilliwack

  Jump on a ferry, head over to the island... if you're vaxxed.

  Walk the beach at Tofino and look for surfers with Monero stickers on their boards.
• 05:26
  saunders
  lol. thx.
• 05:26
  saunders
  a friend is doing it. we calculate that the exchange is taking about fifty dollars just for him to buy.
• 05:27
  Mochi101
  In Vancouver?
• 05:27
  saunders
  Google showed 2.68 monero for $1200 and he estimated 2.5 when all is said and done
• 05:27
  Mochi101
  CAD?
• 05:28
  saunders
  yeh
• 05:28
  saunders
  4.66 I mean
• 05:28
  Mochi101
  ah jeese
• 05:28
  Mochi101
  ok
• 05:29
  Mochi101
  Go sit in Pigeon Park with a sign saying you want to buy XMR.
• 05:29
  saunders
  does that sound reasonable? Google shows 4.66 or so and then 4.5 net?
• 05:29
  saunders
  lol. yeh, probably get some very interesting offers.
• 05:30
  Mochi101
  coingecko.com/en/coins/monero/cad
• 05:31
  saunders
  how much does coingecko charge to send to a cold wallet?
• 05:31
  Mochi101
  If you can get 4.66 you're getting better than market price
• 05:32
  Mochi101
  Coingecko doesn't sell/buy XMR.
• 05:32
  Mochi101
  It's just for tracking prices.
• 05:32
  Mochi101
  eh
• 05:33
  ndorf
  50 bucks seems like a very reasonable premium, given that you expect a stranger to take time to meet with you, take the risk of getting robbed or attracting unwanted attention, and so on
• 05:33
  Mochi101
  yes
• 05:33
  Mochi101
  Canadians are notoriously cheap though...
• 05:34
  ndorf
  50/1200 is less than 5%, which i think is actually less than most of those crypto ATMs take, no?
• 05:34
  ndorf
  the ones i have seen at least were more like 8%
• 05:35
  Mochi101
  ndorf is a Canadian confirmed.
• 05:35
  ndorf

• 05:36
  Mochi101
  Why are you using a Canadian IRC server then?
• 05:37
  ndorf
  that would be a question for whoever runs the irc.libera.chat redirector
• 05:37
  ndorf
  :)
• 05:37
  Mochi101
  ndorf is a Canadian snowbird confirmed.
• 05:38
  Mochi101
  :P

  Mochi101
  anyways... bcak to reality
• 05:38
  Mochi101
  saunders, 5% premium isn't much
• 05:38
  ndorf
  quite the opposite, if i could pick any season to spend in Canada it would 100% be winter
• 05:39
  Mochi101
  You could cuddle up to Trudeau

  Mochi101: yeh, I trust the persons integrity. it's just murky. these exchanges aren't exactly transparent.
• 05:46
  Mochi101
  Canadians are the most trustworthy people on the face of the planet.
• 05:46
  Mochi101

  I am trying to access CryptoNight specifications to learn more about the difference between the algorithms, for example cryptonote.org/cns/cns008.txt
• 23:59
  selsta
