Load-wallet would probably be better.

Crypto is almost as bad as handing over your ID to see "adult" materials, because both require you to trust two parties (government ID stores and the general crypto community) that have shown themselves to not be trustworthy at all.





I'm not seeing how the "general crypto community" can be compared to a "government ID store".

I can count on people in the government to abuse having my ID linked to my online activity.

I can count on people in the crypto community to do unsavory things with my money to my financial detriment.


for the 1000th time. the blockchain with all transaction and wallets being viewable and traceable is not a issue of cryptocurrency itself but certain inferior and outdated coins like bitcoin.

monero has solved that issue and it does not matter if you see any "IDs"


nobody would be able to see what you bought with the coins, only that you sent them to steam

This presupposes that we should have to hand over ID to see "adult" materials, which is by itself an idiotic and deformed notion that should be killed dead before it gains more ground. Porn is not the same as buying a goddam gun or a bunch of liquor in a store, and I don't see why people should have to digitally identify themselves because they want to look at MILF porn or whatever..
