I read this this AM and spent 1 hour trying to purchase this. My wife and I have sat here for 45 min this evening trying to figure out how to buy this and feel stupid. We feel left behind by the crypto stuff. Can anyone really simplify the process of trying to buy this for us? We understand USD; help us spend fiat to get this crypto please.

You can't purchase them easily like common coins like Bitcoin. You have to go through a transfer brokerage like https://app.uniswap.org/ and a wallet like Metamask, along with a common coin brokerage like Coinbase. Its a four step process.
Buy common crypto on Coinbase
Transfer common crypto to Metamask
Initiate uniswap for desired altcoin.
Confirm swap in Metamask.
Its quite convoluted, but once you have it set up it is fairly easy to do.
It took me about 1 hr and I thought I was good. It took me both a phone and computer. I followed someone else's instructions in the chat. From a coinbase wallet. I made a metamask account and transferred eth from my coinbase wallet to my metamask wallet. In the metamask app I used the web feature to search for vrp, I don't know how but I was able to obtain it with the its address that I got from etherscan or something like that. Then once its found I transfered eth to vrp. It took a couple times because they WILL take fees at every step.

Good luck, sorry I couldn't be more help.
