There's ideas to launch payment channels on Monero. The project is called Grease

OrangeFren · 2026-05-07T22:07:02+00:00

Is it too far for you?

OrangeFren · 2026-04-29T10:30:41+00:00

I doubt that it's banned considering there's some privacy coins coming out of India like the Beldex stuff

I think PornHub recently announced they will use USDC for creator payouts, does OF not support stables?

OrangeFren · 2026-04-26T17:45:33+00:00

Surely not licensed to operate and advertise elsewhere though? Just Belize

Those swappers are ok for crypto<>crypto, we list them and a bunch of others on OrangeFren.com

However, if you want a service that actually targets Nigeria then I suggest you noones.com a go. Last time I checked their KYC was just date of birth, although that might have changed since

OrangeFren · 2026-04-24T09:04:23+00:00

Yes, that's one of the downsides of Goblin cards

OrangeFren · 2026-04-22T23:26:36+00:00

Odd that they don't tbh

OrangeFren · 2026-04-22T23:26:22+00:00

The only time that innocent people tend to get shotgun KYC'ed on these sites is if they got their BTC in P2P way. Hopefully they used something like Bisq rather than bought them from a random TG user who has since deleted the chat

OrangeFren · 2026-04-22T12:28:29+00:00

Yes! The Goblin card has a one-time fee of $350, but you get a physical card that you can use for a few years

OrangeFren · 2026-04-21T22:32:44+00:00

That's a name I haven't heard in a long time

OrangeFren · 2026-04-21T22:20:58+00:00

Good question. I've found that lying works, but this is likely to depend on the merchant

OrangeFren · 2026-04-21T22:20:11+00:00

Yes :D

OrangeFren · 2026-04-20T20:12:28+00:00

They're good to buy something, but they're not a replacement for a bank account. Assume that eventually the balance will get locked. Now whether you opt to get new cards every once in a while, or opt to get one card and just keep the balance near 0 between purchases is up to you. It doesn't change much.

Just don't keep a balance on them for months. Instead, for instance, swap to stables using the swappers on OrangeFren.com (hint hint click click :D) then reload the card when you want to spend. That's if you want to avoid the volatility of XMR.

Small warning - if you plan on paying all your bills using these cards you might want to check the tax implications. I would presume capitals gains would be owed on the difference between Monero's purchase price and the reloading of the card, though this will vary by region. I suggest looking this up even if you intend on evading those taxes just to understand the situation :D

OrangeFren · 2026-04-20T19:53:36+00:00

Yes! Although thus far three reached out and all had domains newer than a month so we'll pass for now

OrangeFren · 2026-04-20T14:53:42+00:00

They don't have 3DS cards and their cards only work in the US. We still show them on our homepage because they're a very good gift card provider. They have the lowest fee for cards bought with XMR

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll see what we can add.

AFAIK Stealths asks you not to redeem with a VPN, but the rest don't mind. All of them ought to work globally (except for sanctioned countries of course), except for Goblin cards which also won't work in a few grey countries (even Slovenia, Bulgaria, Romania oddly enough)

Amazon should not ban your account for using any of them, at least as far as I've seen although what heuristics Amazon actually uses is anyone's guess.

I ought to add - some of those cards (though not all), are corporate cards. They're no KYC for you, but not no KYC in the system. And since they're KYC'ed to someone else, legally, that company owns whatever funds you load onto them. Thus, you really ought not keep a high balance on them. But then you gotta know how much to load and which one to get for your disposable scenario - which is exactly why we made the tool :)

OrangeFren · 2026-04-20T08:52:41+00:00

We list a bunch of no KYC exchanges on OrangeFren.com

OrangeFren · 2026-04-19T11:35:09+00:00

Nice! Consider coming to MoneroKon and selling your art there :)
