Is monero something an everyday average joe can sign up for an submit payment through like a Venmo?
No idea of what Dex means.
And the issue with btc is ultimately still that I'd have to go through CoinBase to get my funds out and now with them being 100% gov't backed, it has all of the taxation issues.
I don't mind the tax if needed but still trying to have individuals pay the "business name" is the key factor.

I guess it's still possible but it's not gonna be as fun to do, maybe just even transferring your crypto to a non-exchange wallet would be good enough, I'd reckon? but sadly I'm not from the US so I haven't tried out Venmo or Cashapp yet.

Dex means decentralized exchange, and Monero is a decentralized cryptocurrency that specializes in anonymity. I was originally thinking of maybe use your crypto from something like Coinbase, transfer it there, and convert it to Monero if you're worried about anonymity.

Good luck OP.

It's honestly not a request to stay totally anonymous like as if there's something bad occurring.
It's only a matter of a display name or business name showing instead of a personal name.
Something like "Goalie Coach" would help a business rather than the personal name when a customer/client pays.

They should, however, be relatively simple to show a business name.

The other processors like Zelle don't seem to have that same ability.
CashApp is somewhat better in that way but they're not insured so when you lose your money or are scammed, you're f'd.

just because of international money laws. everything without your real name is definitely in the BH region, which i wouldnt touch if i was you.
but for crypto payments, there are certainly ways to get it anonymously.

(Sep 22, 2021 08:32 PM)DontWorryBeHappy Wrote:  CashApp, Zelle, Venmo, they all require a direct verification of your true information.
Why is that bad?
CashApp isn't backed by any sort of insurance reliability. Their support is ignorant as heck. They claim that their cash card can be used anywhere but to get it you need to provide a social security number.
Venmo is Paypal and that's just, well, it's Paypal, I don't need to say more.
Zelle would be fine if they would add the ability to show a display name instead of the name on your banking account.

Does anyone know of a payment processor app that can be used to accept payments but does NOT reveal the real name but instead allows for payment to a nickname or 'display name'?
Venmo did allow for a display name but with their recent updates they now require 100% verification to use their services, which, imo, no longer makes it secure and private and p2p.

For reference, the display name would essentially be showing a business name instead of a personal name.

Zelle reportedly is supposed to be able to do this but the app is so broken that it doesn't even let you get through setup nowadays without redirecting you to a banking app.

If anyone knows of a reliable and secure app that can do this, or how to do this with Zelle or Venmo while staying secure, as in, NOT providing your soc sec #, then your input is appreciated.
