Peter's Instructions for destroying the Death Star:
- I put ETH into my Coinbase Wallet (the Coinbase Wallet app is separate from a regular Coinbase account)

- Clicked purchase on the NFT in OpenSea, which provides a QR code

- Scanned the code with the Wallet app, which initiated the multi step process to transfer the ETH to Polygon, this is where the gas charges are paid

- Once the transfer is done there were a couple of more steps between OpenSea and the Wallet app and the purchase was complete

Thomas's Instructions for destroying the Death Star:
1) I went to the Risk Parity Radio NFT openseas page, then activated the google chrome extension Metamask to purchase ETH(polygon). They use Moonpay as the platform to take care of the transaction (they also require a picture of your driver's license and selfie for "security purposes")

2) I purchased 30$ minimum which charges $3.99 for this transaction.

3) My first attempt was flagged on my debit card (Wells Fargo, had to approve Moonpay) Second transaction went through and within 1 minute I could see ETH(polygon) in my Metamask wallet.
