Ah yes. I use fdroid as my primary app store and use Monero as often as i can. I actually just bought my new phone yesterday with monero
How did you go about this? I want to do the same.
I have a friend who will take monero and use it and i give them an extra 5% for doing it. If i had to do it without them i would buy an amazon giftcard from one of the giftcard sites like coinsbee or coincards and buy it through amazon. Since i dont have an amazon account i send the monero to my friend and she uses amazon to get it. All i have to do is send her a link. She tells me how much it cost after governmyth extorgion fees are added and i send her that amount of monero +5%.
Ah, I figured as much. Thanks for the insight. There's an untapped market for anonymously purchasing these things that I plan on making into a thing. I'm probably going to do the same thing for my buddy since he wants a private phone for his day to day.
