I was looking for some services that accept LN to experiment a little bit until I came across LNSMS. It's a website that allows you to send a SMS anywhere using LN.

I've tried it and it's working smoothly and since I didn't find any discussion about it on the forums, I thought about sharing it here. (Some of you may not like the fact that the IP addresses are logged but you can use a proxy/VPN for that).

Have you got complains regarding the buying process? I've been using the site for some time and everything seems to be working smoothly.


I agree. I would love to see this feature added as well.

الشرح جد مفهوم لكن لدي اقتراحين ان لم لديك مانع:

- أتفهم كونك من شمال افريقيا, لكن أعتقد أنه من الأفضل كون الشرح (نافذة الكتروم) باللغة العربية عوض اللغة الفرنسية.
- ماسبب رداءة الصور (الخطوط الملونة) ؟ أنصحك باستخدام هذا البرنامج في المستقبل.

و مشكور على المجهود.

I was wondering if anyone knows some exchanges that use MobilePay (in this case, selling BTC)? It's basically a phone app that allows you to send/receive money by using your phone number while the money is deducted from sender's credit card. The app is mainly used in Finland and Denmark.

Bought 90$ PayPal from Shasan. Everything went fast and smooth as usual.

Since the user above managed to answer most of the questions:

2. The counter actually increases by 15 minutes and then you automatically become inactive until you refresh the page. So If you just visit a thread, go inactive for a few minutes, then refresh the page, you will see that your total time logged in increased by 15mn.

4. I don't get it either. If you mean the ability to close topics, then that's something you could do in the other sections as well.

5. You should start using the Watchlist instead of "Show new replies to your posts", which can be easily edited: https://bitcointalk.org/watchlist.php

I'm looking to buy a Dplay account. I'm not very familiar with this site, so I'm not sure if I get to choose the country or the account would work in all the supported countries/languages by simply changing the settings. If it's region-restricted, then I would like to get one for Denmark. P.M or post below with your offer.

It depends on the campaign, some of them set it as mandatory (like ChipMixer). I don't see why would anyone be against using SegWit anyway, after all, it benefit you (lower fees) and the network as more people start using it.

You shouldn't use Coinbase or any other online/web wallet (because of the security and safety of your funds yes). Go with Electrum instead (SW fully supported).

Here are a few exchanges[1][2][3] (I can't vouch for any of them though). Note that voting does not necessarily make the listing process easier, it all depends on your userbase.

I apologize for missing your request. If I take time to answer next time, please drop me a P.M

A shipping address and a gift card should complete the task. If Sephora doesn't ship to your country, you could buy U.S gift card, redeem it, and buy/ship the items to Shipito.com (a service which gives you an address on the U.S. they accept BTC).


I can vouch for them, I've used them multiple times. As answered above, it's only VCCs. It works like this:

1. You pay for the card on their site.
2. They send you a digital token
3. You redeem it on prepaiddigitalsolutions.com (you must fill name, address, phone, and email).
4. You'll be redirected to a page with your card details (Number, expiration date and CVV).


I'm sure I've spent more than 1500$ (Lifetime), but I'll DM them on Twitter and also P.M the representative on the forums to get a confirmation.


Thank you! Added to the list.




Thank you! I will look more into BitPay and add it.

Since you're Canadian, you could use LocalCoin card: https://localcoin.ca/sell/bitcoin-prepaid-card/

It doesn't require submitting any documents (since it seems you're against that) and the maximum balance you could have at one time is 7500$.

Here are a few options:

1. ChipMixer (the most reputable mixer out there)
2. Wasabi wallet (a wallet with a built-in mixing functionality)
3. Deposit BTC into a centralized gambling site or exchange and then withdraw your funds.

In case of going with the 3rd option, you should know that these services will know so it's not as secure/safe as the first two options.

Yes. It shouldn't be a problem. If you're paranoid and would like to switch and print another paper wallet (bech32) use: https://segwitaddress.org

For using your funds in the future. There is Mycelium, Coinomi or Electrum as suggested above.

Also, if the amount you're planning to store is big, I would highly recommend you invest in a hardware wallet instead.

Is it a paper wallet?

Create a standard wallet in Electrum and then go to wallet - private keys - sweep and paste (or scan) the private key you have. The funds in the address will be sent to your Electrum wallet.

If your account was banned, it means you broke their terms of services.

A couple of years ago, I've bought an Amazon gift card from a guy who turned out to be a carder. I created a scam accusation (and provided proof), posted it here on the forums then submitted it to Paxful... they banned his account. A month ago or so, I visited the guy's profile to see if he's still banned or not and noticed that the "User is banned" message that usually shows is no longer there. One of these two things happened (IMO):

1. His ban actually got lifted automatically after two years period.
2. It's possible that he's still banned but Paxful is no longer displaying that for people (after doing some design tweaks on the website).

What I suggest you do, is logout from your account and then visit your profile (or ask someone you know to do it) and see if there is a message indicating that your account is banned If there is, then it's very likely you'll get unbanned as they said.

لا يتطلب الأمر أي KYC لكن بطبيعة الحال, يجب عليك اعطائهم عنوان السكن لكي يتم شحن الهاتف اليك.

و أعتقد أنك تقصد المعالج هنا و ليس شريحة الهاتف.



لا أعتقد أن بطاقة الذاكرة ملحقة مع الهاتف. لقد حاولت شراء الهاتف, و كماترى, لا يوجد أي ذكر للبطاقة..

I'm not affiliated with any of these services. I can, however, vouch for Bitrefill, I have been using them for about 1-2 years now and I had nothing but smooth transactions. The same thing with Coinsbee (new service), I have used them a few times and I have no complaints.

If you have any other services, please list them below while providing the necessary info (if possible).

Additional notes regarding some of these websites:

- Coinsbee also sells prepaid MasterCard (VCC's). You can use them on websites that don't accept BTC directly.
- Bitrefill allows you to withdraw your funds from the site if you ever deposit and change your mind.
