I use PayPal to be the middle man to protect my credit card information when I purchase items online.
Of course I have grown less fond of PayPal and their scammy behavior (plus the password limit is 20, wtf?)
My question; is there an alternative to paypal to buy things online (without crypto as not all stores take such things), such as privacy.com (but for Europe).
Correct mw if im wrong, but I believe privacy.com is for US, Canada region.
My bank doesn’t offer virtual credit cards sadly.
I still hope GNU taler will be more widely used. It’s basically everything you are looking for.
GNU Taler
Has Taler moved beyond proof of concept yet?
It’s an amazing concept btw. I read through their paper presented to the European banking system, it was interesting.
That looks cool but the issue would be getting merchants to implement it
Yes I think that’s the biggest issue and currently also the focus of a project called NGI Taler. Let’s see what comes out. Fingers crossed as this would be great for everyone.
Looks great
