What are /r/Radix's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I’ve literally never posted on Reddit before so I am sorry.

I was successful in buying XRD on Bitfinex as an American.

Install VPN on your computer, I used free ProtonVPN.

Create unverified account on bitfinex. As long as you don’t cash out or buy things in USD you don’t need to verify.

Buy Bitcoin on whatever exchange you use. I used Coinbase.

I sent the Bitcoin to my bitfinex account and exchanged it directly for XRD (BTC -> XRD)

There are some fees in this process but it’s way less than dealing with ethereum network fees.

Sorry for shit quality post, good luck filling your bag.

I think your understanding about RDX Works and it’s relation and “control” over the Radix Mainnet is a bit misguided.

RDX Works released the software for the ledger last year with the Olympia launch of the Radix Mainnet. After date that they have no “control” over the network. What it does is entirely decided by the community / node runners. Eg, if anyone developed an update, then they could request the node runners to do it. Or a node runner could fork the ledger. Or, someone can take the basics and launch their own ledger from scratch. What RDX works is doing right now is developing the rest of the functionality and scaling infrastructure etc. they are doing that in private, and then will again release the software, but this time it will be to try and get an existing community of node runners & token holders & community & stakeholders to agree that they should move forward with that software update. After this, once again, anyone can take that work and build/diverge/amend/copy/enhance in any way they want.

After the X’ian release I think we will see a decrease in the proportion of work to advance the core ledger done by RDX works, as the initial rollout will be complete and now anyone can start proposing improvements.

Also, reading all the above, that is why no one can come and knock on a door and shut down the servers/network. RDX Works is not running the network.

Last, “Y DeFi” is a long question. I’ll punt and offer this.

Threw my ledger nano x away last night. hate that thing.

I'm no expert, but I'd recommend

-Kaspersky

-QFX Key Scrambler

-BC Vault

-Mozilla VPN (Mullvad VPN, basically; but Mozilla is trustworthy and chose them after vetting multiple VPN services)

-Authy
