Hello, do you know any place to buy Monero for online payment ? It seems that LocalMonero is winding down and I don’t want to use some big exchanges like Coinbase for obvious reasons. Thank you very much!

Monero has a disproportionally large energy usage and footprint on the environment. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41893-018-0152-7
Please consider less wasteful alternatives. Every bit help, it’s about keeping earth safe for human life.
“Every bit helps”
Not if it defeats the purpose of whatever you’re doing in the first place.
alternatives are totally worthless for the only useful property of cryptocurrencies, which is private payments
Alternatives - like what? I understand the concerns but for now Monero is the closest we have to “digital cash”. Hope there would eventually be a more energy-efficient successor.
Alternatives like actual cash, proof-of-stake cryptocurrency, or even EMV.
Most alternatives aren’t completely anonymous payment methods, but Monero’s anonymity isn’t worth wasting so much resources.

That doesn’t have any of the privacy and anonymity features. I’d have to read more on this project, though - did hear about it before.
