I live in Paraguay. I can't find any working card? Sad
I went through the list and almost none are available outside EU, US, UK, and a couple of other countries. Paycent seems to be available but search results indicate it's a scam.

Which cards can you recommend?

Advcash launched a couple of cards (Crypto world, and Global UnionPay) and then stopped shipping the cards. The last time I checked, they said they'll be available again soon. Maybe you can check their site or reach out to them for an ETA.

Thank you. I have a card from them and it was working perfectly. However, they no longer allow funding to the USD card. They say they are fixing it but it's been a couple months.
EUR card is still working but I cannot order one cause I am not a resident nor citizen of one of their countries.

Do you know if spectrocoin or wagecan are trustworthy?

Not only cryptocurrency cards are affected with the relatively low limits, but the regular ones issued by banks as well (albeit withdrawal limits are higher). For example, card issued by my bank has 5000 kuna daily withdrawal limit (approximately 660 euro) so its a little bit more than a double of Binance card. Big advantage of Binance card is that daily spending limit is 8700 euro which should be enough for 99.99% users.

Its all probably about governments not liking the thought of us withdrawing money without them knowing on what exactly we are spending it.

These are very good limits. I do not use bank cards at all and do not have bank accounts, I use only alternative solutions. The best solution that I found in my country is a card of one payment service, which allows you to withdraw no more than 1,780 euros per day, and no more than 10,700 euros per month. It is a pity that the Binance card is not available for me, so I have to use only such solutions. I used Advcash until 2018, it was probably the most convenient card for both shopping and travel, but it was also limited for my country. Residents of the European Union, of course, have a wide variety in the choice of crypto cards, this is a definite plus for them, there is plenty to choose from.

I'm looking for a debit card solution, but since I'm not EU/US citizen my options are close to none. Services are either scams, not operational or forever stuck in launch phase (like wirex/advcash). To make things harder all card-benchmarking sites care little about listing eligible countries or describing verification procedure steps per service. Most card services on the other hand are, of course, secretive about eligible country list, constraints in functionalities per country and verification steps, because they are very glad to take your personal documents and only after tell you the bad news. So, it's reallty tough to test them.

Big threads about debit cards here are extremely west-centric so they also care very little about the above.

VCC is not an option for me since I mostly need ATM withdrawals.

For Crypterium I think it's also not clear if it's operative.


EDIT: Now I also see, the ATM withdrawal functionalty for Crypterium is limited to only a few countries.

I have the same problem. ADV USD card was working but they no longer support loading the card. Unknown when/if they will resume.
Did you find a card that ships worldwide? I only need it to scan at POS terminals when I buy stuff at supermarkets for example.

which card today is best to add after Binance card as cheapest alternative second service for spending crypto in EU to use also with ATM in EUR?
I think Advcash is a good alternative especially for Europeans since it is cheaper than the card available for the rest of the countries in the world.
Otherwise there is Neteller but honestly I am not sure if you can spend directly crypto deposited there with their mastercard or you have to use a third party service for deposit.

Advcash load to USD cards are no longer working. I guess EUR cards can still be loaded but they are only available to citizens & residents of EU, Israel, Turkey.

Do you know of an alternative that provides cards to people outside the EU?

I'm not worried about law enforcement, just regular snoopers who would be unable to force Coinbase to turnover data. How could a person link the transactions, they can only see that they came from Coinbase but cannot see which of the millions of Coinbase users sent it and cannot see that these transactions came from the same user. Am I wrong about this?
You are right, the "average Joe" will have a hard time to find the connection on their own they have to get a court order or something like that. However there are two problems you will face in the future.

1. When Coinbase gets hacked (not a matter of if, but when) their database could be published by the hacker and it would be free for everyone to see. It may even end up one some chain-analysis website like walletexplorer.com where people can easily search an address and see all the linked transactions.

2. When you end up sending bitcoin to a destination that breaks Coinbase's ToS and they shut down your account and seize your funds.

Thanks. So what is the best solution?

Are you aware that what you withdraw/send from centralized exchanges is the coins you or others have sent?
If you deposit and then withdraw, there's even a chance that the withdrawal will be from your deposit address.
Since Coinbase is not a mixer, sending to the various customers have a good chance to link them.
This is how I see it.

On https://www.blockchain.com/ I checked 2 transactions that I had sent consecutively from Coinbase and none of the 50+ btc amounts or addresses in the inputs and outputs matched any of the ones from the other transaction. Doesn't this mean that they are not linked? Maybe there is a better way to check linkage.

Was just using a coinbase account cause I think transfers sent can only be traced back to coinbase which is quite generic but they closed my account cause of my location. Don't want to deal with an exchange if possible.

If you're doing something that will get you into trouble with law enforcement, then they will easily make coinbase or almost any other centralized service give up the full list of your customers. But if this isn't a problem for you, you can use some other centralized service as a "wallet" like an exchange or a casino. From the outside it would look like all your customers are receiving money from that service. But the withdrawal fees are generally pretty high regardless of the actual network fees. And exchanges could probably close your account for such activity, because they will see that the account clearly isn't used for trading.

A better solution is to use coin control to have no more than 1 output (aside from change) and immediately mix your change outputs and never used unmixed inputs.

Yes, I only care how it looks from the outside to people who don't have Coinbase records. Law enforcement could get the data but I don't care about them.
Coinbase has a wallet so I think it is ok to be used in that way. But the other exchanges I looked at (e.g. kukoin, stormgain) only have a withdrawal option so I think their website is not meant to be used as a wallet and you are right that the fees are prohibitive.

What is the best wallet to manage coin control? Any that can be managed by different users?
9  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin wallet that doesn't link transactions sent? on: September 01, 2021, 04:24:35 PM
We used coinbase for over a year with 2fa and it was perfectly fine.
This is in direct contradiction with your question! Every single transaction you have sent using Coinbase are already linked together and to your account and your identity. It would be trivial for anyone with legit beef to acquire the link too.
That goes with any other centralized services.

I'm not worried about law enforcement, just regular snoopers who would be unable to force Coinbase to turnover data. How could a person link the transactions, they can only see that they came from Coinbase but cannot see which of the millions of Coinbase users sent it and cannot see that these transactions came from the same user.

I'm thinking of the problems that could occur with your inquiry. The first is that you need to have balances on separate addresses to have a different fund source. It would be another step to have an internal transaction first before sending, so it may be straining for you. The second is that having a web-based wallet can be prone to hacking. It's better to have a more secure wallet for that.

Maybe develop something like that. Automatically send it as an internal transaction first before sending it out, etc.

There isn't a major problem with using a browser wallet. We used coinbase for over a year with 2fa and it was perfectly fine. We limit the balance held there of course.

As for your other solution does electrum have something like that -- send btc to a freshly created address, and then from there send to the client? Would that work?

You can use BTCPay integrated with Payjoin [1] to make your transaction will not linked with each other, but you need to host yourself to run BTCPay with some requirement 4GB RAM and 500GB hard drive [2]

But the problem of BTCPay with Payjoin transaction is most of wallet still doesn't support Payjoin, because your customer should use a wallet that support Payjoin or the transaction will be linked.


[1] https://docs.btcpayserver.org/Payjoin/
[2] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5259548.0

Hello,
From their website it seems they help you provide a unique btc address to a paying customer but not vice versa, i.e. provide a unique sending btc address for each transfer sent to a customer.
What kind of wallet would not support a payjoin transaction? We certainly can't ask customers to sign up at something like that, nobody would want to do the work!
12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin wallet that doesn't link transactions sent? on: August 31, 2021, 12:46:51 AM
There are a couple of solutions, all the payments can be done from the same address if you use a Mixing service, just put the payment address on the mixer output and that should do the magic.

Another option is to use another exchange with low fees or a casino to make the payments as a site withdraw.

Mixer service would slow down the transfer and would be quite expensive, right?

What other exchange do you recommend for this?
I looked at kucoin and stormgain and their withdrawal fees are an insanely high 0.0006 btc or about 25 USD which is impossible cause our transfers to customers are normally around 100 USD. We would be paying 25%!

Certainly I wouldn't keep funds in a casino, lol.
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Bitcoin wallet that doesn't link transactions sent? on: August 31, 2021, 12:21:07 AM
I need a wallet where we can send various transactions (e.g. 10 per day) to customers but where the different transactions are not linked. Otherwise my customers will be linked. Each sending address should be different. Best is if it's a browser wallet cause we are 3 different people on the team that manage the transfers out and are in different locations.

Was just using a coinbase account cause I think transfers sent can only be traced back to coinbase which is quite generic but they closed my account cause of my location. Don't want to deal with an exchange if possible.

Are there any good solutions?
14  Economy / Goods / How do I go about selling my house for cryptocurrency? on: August 21, 2021, 04:22:07 PM
Are there good websites that specialize in this where I can list it? I'm perfectly happy to receive crypto directly. I don't need to have it converted to fiat. I just wonder where potential buyers might visit and I suppose the buyer would want an escrow service as well.
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you recommend staking? on: May 27, 2021, 03:53:23 PM
I do not recommend staking on anything that has not a long lasting record of real use for the network, since staking is just about getting rewarded for the safety of a network and that only makes sense if the network has sufficient transactions to  make it even worth being secured. Many people are confused with words such as "dividends" or "returns" but the truth is that value cannot be generated without user willing to use the underlying network. How many use cases are already in place for the network of your choice? Probably none.

Yes, this is what I am trying to get out. Most of the posts in this thread seem like brainless pyramid feeders/suckers.
What is the value that the holder of your coins gains that allows them to pay you out a "dividend?"

The holder is not a company, that your purchase ownership, which produces profits, e.g. stocks.
The holder is not a bank that can loan out your money for a higher return and give you a cut, e.g.fixed term deposit accounts.

I can see how it could work in a network like Cardano that uses proof of stake. Holders of Cardano get a share of new blocks mined and a cut of fees. It's like owning shares of a company. Is this correct?
 
But in general, where is the theoretical value created?
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you recommend staking? on: May 26, 2021, 09:56:10 PM
Personally, I can recommend stacking as a great tool for holders. Your coins don't just sit in your wallet, they bring you even more coins.
Compared to trading, this is a wonderful form of earnings that reduces your risks to some extent, because the more holders, the less likely the price will fall.

Hello, can you explain why there is overall value to staking? I give you my cryptocurrency to hold, you do something of value with it, enabling you to pay out an interest to me. What is it that you can do with it that makes this thing sensible?
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you recommend staking? on: May 26, 2021, 06:20:09 PM
You can stake ETH at https://ethereum.org/en/eth2/staking/ and become a validator for ETH 2.0 but you need 32 ETH

If you have less than 32 ETH in your bag, you can use the staking pool service. But still be careful and smart in choosing a trusted pool, because this does not guarantee 100% security.
You can start staking and participate in supporting the launch of ETH 2.0 and get profit periodically by staking ETH here (for those who have less than 32 ETH): https://beaconcha.in/stakingServices

The site is a direct Ethereum recommendation, which is if you go to the page : https://ethereum.org/en/eth2/staking/#stake , and click on the See staking services link

I've read some of the material and I don't quite understand on what basis the ETH stake is returned. Is it a smart contract that determines when/to what address the ETH stake is paid or does the Ethereum organization decide when to release all the stakes?
Who controls the ETH addresses that my stake would be sent to?
Finally, is setting up a "validator" too difficult for a computer idiot like myself?
18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you recommend staking? on: May 26, 2021, 06:11:34 PM
You can stake ETH at https://ethereum.org/en/eth2/staking/ and become a validator for ETH 2.0 but you need 32 ETH

For those who do not have 32 ETH on their balance, Binance has prepared a similar program for staking https://www.binance.com/en/eth2 But we must remember that the more ethereum is used in staking, the lower the APY. But I am repelled from such staking by the lack of an opportunity to sell coins at high and buy at a low price.


Is Binance pooling users ETH together to come up with 32 ETH batches and then setting up validators for them? Is this how it works?


What cut is Binance taking from the gains?

Quote
We will redistribute 100% of all on-chain rewards to our users.
If they return 100%, what benefit does Binance get from this?

Quote
The on-chain staking income will be distributed in the form of BETH to your Spot account on a daily basis.
Additionally, you can get the rewards immediately rather than waiting the ~2 years that are required if you stake directly with ethereum.org.

I don't understand how this can be good for Binance. What is the catch?
