Hey community,

We are thrilled to announce that we are launching our (USD denominated) International Prepaid Cards. You can now live from your sick crypto gains, using any of our 800+ listed coins to buy globally accepted Mastercards. You can spend these cards on multiple online stores, as well as on the huge majority physical venues, as these cards are accepted in all credit card machines that accept USD international cards. We've been testing these cards for a while and you won't find issues having them accepted on local commerce. Some online companies that check for 3DS are exceptions to this rule, such as Amazon and Twitter, for example. But generally you won't find any difficulty living from these cards.

We are planning on offering also EUR and GBP denominated cards for people in Europe starting next week, and we are also looking into other options to make our cards cheaper for the users.

To buy a prepaid card you only have to provide en e-mail address to Trocador, so we can send there your activation link. On the link, you'll have to fill an address form, but this address does not need to be related to any delivery address in case you are wondering. You also don't need to upload personal documents, so that's a plus.

Also, to celebrate the launch, we are offering the chance to win 4x $50 Cards. To participate, just follow the instructions on this link.

@[email protected] It seems as long as you have an anonymous email and mail box somewhere, you can be anonymous with these cards. It's an easy off ramp for daily living for the average person. One thing I don't like about these cards is that they're not refillable. So unless you have a purchase of exactly $50, you'll have large number low spend amount cards ($1.23 on this card, $4.06 on this card, $0.02 on this card) which you'll either never use or you'll have to convince someone to accept payment with several of these cards.

It seems these cards are antithetical to the anonymous nature and privacy of Monero.

Did you get Pay with Moon to work for bitcoin WITHOUT linking it to Coinbase account?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Yes, I've never used it with Coinbase. I don't live in the US, and I don't think Coinbase is even available in my country.
