I don't use alby myself I originally started on Wallet of Satoshi which was alright then the US banned it because they refused to comply with the new transfer laws which require any business in crypto to transfer to cash must require KYC (know your customer) by law. So they were removed frim the google play store & now I can't transfer to cash app to deposit into my bank but thats okay.

I think most people are now resorting to hosting their own wallet & then using bisq.network to find a reputable person they can meet up with in person & exchange sats for cash. 

 Okay, very interesting! Yes, the KTC stuff is annoying, and even with the verification the exchanges make us jump through hoops to transfer out.

My boyfriend big into privacy, so I'll ask him about using bisq to exchange sats for cash. he hadn't mentioned that option. Thanks for your help! I promise to zap you as soon as I'm all set up. ⚡
