I'm having a terrible time getting into the bitcoin game. I've got my own lightning and bitcoin nodes but I'm stalled out trying to get funds / channels in there. I've been to over half a dozen sites that promise it will be easy to buy bitcoin but there are myriad ways it goes wrong:
- Using a vpn or tor? Many sites just block you for "abuse"
- Want to go p2p for no KYC well then you need some sats to pay for the collateral
- Hell, half the "no KYC" sites just use third parties that want everything including your SSN.
- Not to mention all the sites that just fail with unhelpful error messages like "try again later"
