Is there a way to buy stuff using a %100 anonymous Visa or Mastercard? The store bought ones aren’t available here where I am and crypto isn’t a viable option since it’s hard and expensive to acquire anonymously. Any tips?
True anonymity is really only possible with cash and crypto, but it might not be necessary depending on what you’re trying to achieve. You can achieve psuedoanonymity if you use virtual credit cards for different vendors, but it requires linking your bank account to something like privacy.com, or your bank may generate these for you. This can be useful if you’re trying to prevent the vendor from knowing who you are, but don’t mind another party knowing about the transaction. For a truly anonymous option, monero can be bought at an exchange and withdrawn to a personal wallet anonymously. Once it leaves the exchange wallet, it can’t be traced.
I was going to meantion privacy.com but oted not to thinking it was clear that it was not a viable option considering I said 100% anonymous.
About monero, the problem is buying it. There is no way I can buy it 100% anonymously. Exchanges (if they sell Monero) require KYC. Any other way requires my credit card at some point in the transaction…and that puts us back to square one.
Purchasing monero at an exchange is not anonymous, but once you transfer the monero into a different wallet, it’s untraceable, making it functionally anonymous. I don’t understand what the issue is.
You can use retoswap.com, an instance of Haveno, an P2P decentralised Monero Exchange
What are all the payment methods to fund your account/buy Monero on retoswap.com? Searched everywhere but cant find that simple info, which should have been on their FAQ. They only say “RetoSwap supports most fiat currencies through a big variety of payment methods:
From regular SEPA / ACH transfers over apps like PayPal & CashApp to physical cash sent via mail or even in-person.” Ok, cool, but why not list all of them. And in-person? How exactly?
They don’t list all of them because not all will be available, it depends on the seller. But usually it’s trough SEPA or something like Paypal. Pay by Mail is also available but less common.
In person also available but in just a few countries (like Germany).
I advise you download and you can check for yourself.
