DALKE requested payment in the specific type of cryptocurrency because “as in these things privacy is extremely important.”
That you, @moneroshill?
Using the cryptocurrency address DALKE provided, on or about August 24, 2022, the OCE deposited approximately 0.64053413 units of the requested cryptocurrency, worth approximately $99.90 USD, in DALKE’s account to make sure the address worked.
XMR was ~$155 on that date. 0.64053413 X $155 = $99.28. So that confirms it.
