  "textContent": "**NOT MENTION OF THE PROXY STORE OR GIFT CARDS?**\n\nThanks for this. I did not know they had a list of proposed solutions, and yet **I am still shocked that there is no mention of The Proxy Store, Cake Pay or gift cards.** WHY?\n\nThe people who created this site deliberately did not mention services like Tuta and Addy. It must be because they know that Tuta and Addy sell gift cards on the Proxy Store which can be bought anonymously with Monero. There is little doubt in my mind that they are aware of the Proxy Store, and they fail to mention it. This is an epic failure IMHO.\n\n**IMHO, the Proxy Store is the most effective way to make anonymous payments widely available, because they don’t just accept Monero, they also accept cash.**\n\n**WHERE’S THE COMMUNITY CARE?**\n\nI sometimes get the impression that some people in the privacy community are so enamored with Monero and other cryptocurrencies, that they don’t care about other anonymous payment methods. What I mean is, if the services listed on this website accepted direct payments via Monero, I suspect some Monero fans wouldn’t care to advocate for The Proxy Store and cash payments. They’d say just _learn how to buy Monero_. At least that is the impression that I am getting.\n\nI would encourage everyone to learn how to acquire Monero and other cryptocurrencies if they wish, but we have to recognize that it will always be a challenge, and hence a hurdle, for some people. Especially when you consider that buying Monero anonymously is another obstacle to overcome.\n\n**ABOUT SHAME:**\n\nI understand that the shaming may be tongue in cheek, but those services might not take it that way. And since they have to be persuaded it’s better to be polite and friendly in your early approaches.",
