[No KYC] Prepaid Cards, Gift Cards, eSIMs and Virtual Numbers | Stealths.NET

[StealthsNet]

@paid2 & @StealthsNet, thanks for the additional explanation regarding payment with this card - in that case it would be a good choice for those who want to use it for physical payment via NFC - and actually the only downside is that even though the card is without KYC in case some problem happens the company issuing it can ask the user for KYC before receiving support. It looks a bit strange at first, but the perfect product is hard to find, isn't it?

MPC is not a great provider, especially compared to old providers we have, however they are the only one issuing international cards at the moment. This is why we added them back after removing a few months ago.

They don't ask KYC for support generally however this happened once so we put a warning, it might be related to the client using extremely fake info (cardholder name) too, but not sure about their procedures exactly.

Hey,
Thank you for adding our service to the list.
A little correction: We have 5% fees (or $5 if amount is smaller than $100), no $30 production cost.

I'll make sure to include link in our website.

Will come back if I need this service again any time

I congratulate you on your first successful year and I hope that you will continue to provide good services

As for the DDoS attacks, it seems that some people are quite bored lately and attack everything they can think of - but such things are only temporary anyway, I hope you will successfully resist them.

Looks like John McAfee was right after all when he said that monero is the most used cryptocurrency in the world... and I saw several websites always having monero on top along with bitcoin.
Are you accepting Lightning Network payments and is that included in overall stats of 13% for Bitcoin or not?

PS
ShoppinBit July stats: 60% BTC, 36.60 XMR
CoinCards July stats: 28.21% BTC, 23.83 XMR

We don't accept Lightning Network at the moment, even though it's great for quick payments hard to maintain own node or find a reliable provider without too many requirements.

I posted in the Novacard thread today. They offer an excellent service and then I found this thread and you offer what seems to be an identical service. How does your service differ from Novacard?

Furthermore, have your heard of CoinPayCard? In the past they used this forum to make an announcement when they launched a card service but exit-scammed. The same question I asked Novacard: How will you assure forum members you are in the business for the long run and have no nefarious intentions?

Hey,
I'm not familiar with the services you mentioned, but they might be using same/similar card providers. We have multiple prepaid and gift card brands, we don't require any info (even an email address). Maybe these are the differences you ask.

Our website is one year old; you can check the first messages of this thread. Multiple members from Bitcointalk and other communities have already tested and posted reviews about our service. Of course, we recommend everyone test the process with a small amount. For this reason, the minimum amount for most of our products is set as low as $5.

I was asking in general terms what were according to you any differences between you and your competitor but if you had not heard of them before it would be difficult for you make any comment but by having another look at both websites, it seems one of the fundamental differences between Novacard and Stealths is the activation process. Novacard does not require it, customers can start using the card immediately after they receive it whereas Stealths issued cards have to be activated.

Your website states: You need to active card after purchase. Card issuer will ask for email, phone number and address..

Novacard website states: Novacard respects your privacy and does not require verification. You can simply make a payment with your favorite cryptocurrency and receive your card details right after payment confirmation!

Your 5% fee is less than their 7.5% fee therefore automatically appeals to this seeking this type of service but the activation process is something that might be an issue if they do not want to provide an address, a phone number and an email address.

Never heard of a prepaid card that asks you for your phone number and email in order to activate it but maybe that's a requirement for the supplier they are using.

Still not sure why they would need that information though.

We have two different prepaid card brands at the moment:
- VISA Gift Card (US): You receive a card management link, no activation or address registration is needed. You can use the card right away after the purchase.
- MPC Mastercard Prepaid: You receive a card redeem code that needs to be activated on the MyPrepaidCenter website. They ask for the cardholder's name, email, and address; no ID verification is needed for redeeming the card. You don't share this info with us; it's collected by MyPrepaidCenter, which is a big prepaid card issuer.

The activation process varies by card provider; some don't ask for any details, and some require address registration. But at Stealths.NET, we don't require any info for any order; you provide requested details on the card provider's website.

You can view all details about the brand on the product page.

P.S. Just checked the service you mentioned; their terms are very similar to our VISA gift card; likely it's the same provider, but I suggest contacting them to make sure.

It is important to emphasize that these data do not have to be "correct", because if we are talking about MC cards, then you should know that the company that issues them does not check the correctness of the data. Stealths warned that they had one case when the company asked for KYC from the client, but also that it was probably the result of some stupidity that the client did. The data doesn't have to be correct, but you won't write that the owner of the card is Mickey Mouse, right?

In addition, this Nova card works only in the US, while Stealths MasterCard is an international card that you can add to your Google/Apple wallet and pay in all countries that are not on the list of prohibited countries.

Now that is clarified, it makes much more sense. Keeping the MPC Prepaid Mastercard aside, it seems the Visa gift card is almost identical to the Novacard product. It is good to see competition between various companies that are offering similar products.

For the MPC Prepaid Mastercard, if the company does not check the validity of any information then it seems a pointless exercise to enter it to activate the virtual card in the first place, nevertheless it is part of a process that needs to be followed for that particular product. For that reason, I suppose it too makes it a viable option for those that are buying a card for their needs (international or US only).

They only follow the legal procedure, no matter how meaningless it is in the specific case - but considering that the card has a max limit of $1000, it is unlikely that someone will use such methods to "launder" significant amounts of crypto, even if it is possible to buy an unlimited number of cards.

I assume that they still have some kind of checks in case someone decides to abuse their service, and as long as everything looks legal, everyone wins.

What happens if I have to pay something worth $43 but I have $50 on my Stealth card?
I just gave an example, but there would always be some leftover money on card because it's not easy to have exact amount for payment, and smaller amounts won't be accepted.
No refunds is fine, but we should be allowed to spend leftovers for different purchase within 24h expiration period.
