Guides
- Address Poisoning and Clipboard Attacks: How They Work and How to Avoid Them
Address poisoning and clipboard hijacking both attack the same habit, which is copying a destination address from somewhere convenient instead of from the recipient, and both are defeated by verifying the full address at the moment you send rather than recognizing the first and last few characters.
- How to Buy Crypto With a Bank Transfer (ACH, SEPA, Faster Payments, Wire)
Buying crypto with a bank transfer means moving currency from your bank into your exchange account over a domestic payment rail and then placing the order from the cash balance, which is normally the cheapest way to fund an account and differs from card funding mainly in speed and in the withdrawal holds that follow.
- Buying Crypto With PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay
Apple Pay and Google Pay are wrappers around a card you already hold, so on an exchange they are priced and treated exactly like a card deposit, while PayPal is a separate funding method with its own availability and its own fees, and all three settle instantly and then sit under a withdrawal hold.
