    By the way, I have never heard of "fizzbuzz", so I googled it. Top response shows basically what is needed, which is how I would handle your request if I was a programmer. Now that I know about it, I'll just memorize the four or five methods they showed in various languages and ask you African or European.

    The one thing I can say to make myself feel better about not getting into Bitcoin at the start, is that I would probably have used that particular site to store them. And I would be right where I am now, holding nothing.

    Any word processor should be able to do it quickly. Just replace each space character with a comma followed by a space.

    Word processors are not suitable for that, as they rewrite and reformat text to fit your chosen style, grammar and layout.
    You want a text editor; never confuse the two.

    Well, to be clear, I do have a Paypal account, just for buying or selling stuff on Ebay. I don't think I've used it for anything else. Had it before they merged, consolidated when they merged, and haven't noticed any change since they split. As I said, I buy something, click the payment button, and click once or twice to finalize it with my Paypal account, usually pulling money from my bank account or debit card.

    I don't keep money in Paypal. When I sell items, usually Magic the Gathering cards, once the sales are done and paid I move the money to my bank account. Of course Paypal takes their cut, but so would a credit card. I have never had an issue with them, but I am not a high volume buyer or seller.
