I appreciate the advice. I don't drive and don't know anyone in person who is into any form of crypto, so it'd be tough to go to a meet. Nonetheless, I will keep an eye out to see if the nearest city has any events to consider.
As for Bisq, I tried AgoraDesk first but then tried Bisq when AgoraDesk closed. Similar issues, unfortunately.
As for the building contacts part, that might be a consideration, but it will take time and I'm quite sporadic on social media right now haha. Still, I don't have any plans to leave Nostr so it could happen one day, who knows?
Thanks again, going to bookmark this note for later!
