i know the bitcoin atm’s and banks do “know your customer” stuff (basically they id you first)
Depends on your area so make sure to double-check. Many (most?) BTMs only require KYC for larger amounts. e.g. buying $800+ might require KYC, buying less than $800 may only require text message verification. For text messages you can buy a temporary burner phone with cash, or if you’re lucky you can find a SMS service that works with the BTM - just be aware most BTMs don’t work with virtual SMS phone numbers.
Or your other option is maybe buy bitcoin via cash by mail, some crypto trading websites/platforms offer that.
Or going non crypto you could technically just purchase a pre-paid credit card with cash, you’d just need to make sure the card would work with whatever services you are subscribing to.
Cash is still more anonymous than cryptocurrency, I suppose you can ask the services you’re subscribing to if they accept cash by mail (I don’t know of any offhand).
PS - Not sure if your post is breaking rules here, this Lemmy instance is anti-cryptocurrency and does have a rule forbidding crypto shill topics. But it might be okay if you’re just asking a general question.
It’s not. You will need to lower your torrent client’s incoming connections limit and/or set lower limits to your incoming/outgoing bandwidth in your torrent client. It is clear your network router is unable to handle too much torrent traffic hitting it at the same time, hence the issues you are experiencing.
For qB
Tools / Options / Connection / Global Maximum Number Of Connections
Tools / Options / Speed / Global Rate Limits
There’s no specific number to enter there, you just have to experiment a bit and set lower numbers until the problem goes away and your network is stable.
It will, eventually. It does take a bit for other torrent clients to realize you’re no longer online and stop sending you traffic / sharing your IP with other peers.
