There is no way to separate electronic payments or transfers from my personal identity and I don't consider it usefully "private" to have any account directly traceable to that. Trust is a limited and increasingly valuable commodity, and I'm conserving mine. That said, there's probably a decent opportunity for second hand, no-strings-attached accounts to now be legitimately purchased then laundered anonymously through an arbitrary middleman without having use burner accounts stolen from innocent people or created with stolen identities. So maybe that'll be an improvement for privacy. Privacy shouldn't have to be illegal or inconvenient (but of course they want it to be). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 0 points 1 month ago (2 children) It really isn't that hard to create an anonymous Google account and add some credit or use prepaid cards. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 0x0@infosec.pub 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 child) It really isn't that hard to accept crypto and cash in envelopes as payment. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 0 points 1 month ago Why would you send digital money physically? permalink fedilink source parent [–] lnxtx@sopuli.xyz 23 points 1 month ago (5 children) And it's one-time payment. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] gankouskhan@bookwyr.me 16 points 1 month ago (4 children) My card is ready!
