    I’ll be fucked if I have my search history associated with my payment information. Not that I have any weird shit in there, just that I know at some point what I look for and buy will get cross-correlated and sold to the highest bidder. Plus, data breaches. And bittorrent searches.

        How do you use a public ledger for privacy? Are you just using Monero or something?

          I use monero. Since all kagi takes is bitcoin i use one of those instant swaps to do a conversion.

            Gotcha, thanks! So you can just swap Monero for Bitcoin without going through KYC stuff?

                Interesting, thanks! I’ve only vaguely followed crypto stuff, so not really too familiar with how it gets used day-to-day
