I don't need to imagine that

Slight disagreement on "banks hate this as much as we do". If that's the case they are all very chill about that, because they didn't lobby against nor ever contested any tightening in that fucking nightmare in recent history. The truth is, you believe you're the bank client, but you haven't been for some time now. That's not with your deposit that the bank earn money, you can go to another one they don't care, and the service likely sucks as bad anyway.

"Deal in cash with the bank" might not be possible depending where you live. In France most banks will simply kick you out if you're making 2000€ deposits in cash every month, some don't even allow cash deposit at all

Multiple exchanges, multiple bank accounts, p2p as much as possible... But that's indeed extremely annoying.

That's regrettable, but I assume they are doing what they can and have other concerns now. I won't blame them, just help them do differently if I can

No wait he's got a point

Hi I'm one of silent payments implementers, don't hesitate to ping me if you want to have a chat and try to figure it out. Doing more address reuse is *not* acceptable at this point.
