Following up on a previous post...

Charge anywhere safely with the SyncStop USB Condom



If you charge up your smartphone or tablet using public charging stations, this is a must.

I mostly keep my devices charged up using chargers that have been tested and I trust, but there are times when I'm out and about where I'm forced to make the choice between using a public charge point, or running seriously low of juice.

Having a USB "data blocking" condom is a cheap way to have peace of mind.
...
I've tested this extensively and found no problem with charging when using SyncStop, with the dongle allowing up to 2.1A of power to flow across it, with the device allowing absolutely no data connection between charger and smartphone or tablet. There's also no overheating or noise.

Cost is about US$13 for the "naked" adapter and about US$25 for the pretty one.

Also available from a different company, a USB-C version.

I buy, sell, and hold on coinbase.  I use it to convert BTC to USD (United States Dollars) and transfer to my bank every month.  I have bought BTC using my bank account to fund it as well. I have had 0 problems other than it takes a while to deposit in my bank.  (5-7 business days sometimes) If you have questions or want to discuss it just msg me here or on Discord.

I have a specific thing to pay that costs $20.  I'd probably put in $25 so I wouldn't have to worry about fluctuations.  If it works,I may need to do it again in a few months.  I am just leery of giving a BTC vendor access to my bank account.  I was going to use a cash-bought VISA gift card, but Coinbase is in the UK and the gift cards I have access to are just good in the US.

I'll take a look.  I had heard about coinbase but didn't know if they were legit... if there were hidden "gotchas."

Thanks

I need $20 worth of BTC, preferably with the least possible hassle.  I just want to authorize a $20 (+/-) charge on a CC and take home the equivalent in BTC, which I can then pass on to a third party.

Can someone point me to a tutorial on how to fund, acquire and pass on that amount.

TIA for any help.
