any tips for a data scientist wanting to learn #rust?

i’m already pretty competent in R, Python and SQL - but, mostly in the context of wrangling data (have never really dabbled in a low level programming language)

haha - the full balaclava or ski mask won’t work for the australian winter i don’t think 🔥

i’d love to work to earn some xmr or sats - but, unsure what i have to offer as a data scientist 🥴 need to learn something that’s more freelance friendly probably 😅

love all these options - thanks for putting in the time 🙏🏼 lots of different things on this list that i didn’t know about

i’ve always been a bit sketch on atms for the same reason as listed in original post around p2p trades - feel like they’re a bit of a honeypot setup where the cam on the atm is 110% taking a photo of your face and storing it somewhere

i like the idea of selling something or earning something tho - supporting that circular economy

yep, feels like this will probably be my go-to method tbh - might just buy btc kyc 🥴 but, then swap out to xmr straight away - seems like a pretty well balanced option tbh

ahahah yes - this has been my exact thoughts every time i open robosats or bisq (etc) and look at the AUD offers - smells fishy

gift cards seemed like the only real decent option tbh - but, as much as it pains me, i’m leaning towards kyc and then just switching out to xmr instantly

yeah, i remember when local monero was a thing there were a lot more cash in mail options - which seemed reasonable

but, every p2p option with liquidity in australia seems to be “payid” or some sort of bank transfer which i’m pretty sure potentially has your first / last name - and, definitely the details of your bank account 🤨

as you mentioned, gift cards seem lower in liquidity - mining seems to really be the only foolproof option 😢

otherwise, as dumb as it sounds, if you assume that it’s always a fed that’s on the other side of the p2p trade; then you’re probably putting a bigger target going p2p than just going through an exchange (again, as terrible as that sounds)

as you say, p2p at bitcoin meetups could be good - but, even that carries the extra risk of wrench attack

#austriches how do you purchase non-kyc btc or xmr using fiat without exposing your name and / or bank account?

in p2p trades you can never guarantee that your counterparty isn’t listing down your bank account details (and everything that they get sent) - and, i’d even make the argument that if that’s occurring, you’re probably getting labelled as “higher risk” by those doing the tracking - because you’re going through the effort to make a p2p non-kyc trade

what’s the best option(s) here?
