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.

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?
