Hello people, I've been thinking of getting a RealDebrid account thanks to the recommendation of some folks here but people are saying that the RealDebrid is keeping logs on their users so I am trying to get an account using a VPN. The issue is that if you are using a VPN the only payment option is through Coinbase which I have no idea how to use.

My question is that how have you folks have paid for it anonymously and what you'd suggest for the payment.

Well if you want to pay real debrid with crypto, you just select BTC as payment option, then you get redirected to coinbase.

Here you can select BTC, ETH or LTC, it will then generate a payment string you can transfer funds to from every wallet, no KYC required in any way.

Other than that, yes VPN is part of a good "OpSec" and will also grant you most probably the privacy need

I thought you had to give out your id for coinbase and you have to pay with your credit card so that crypto you buy is linked to and bitcoin is not private at all, everything is on the blockchain.

You don't need a coinbase wallet, its just one of the options, you can pay with any wallet. Just start a local node, fire up a wallet and send your funds

It's still bitcoin so there is still no private way to pay

What utter bullshit is this? Why is there no private way to pay?

You can even buy BTC at an centralized exchange, split it into 25 wallets, throw them into a tumbler, convert to monero, throw it in another tumbler what ever and recombine everything on a Wallet you generated yourself with a node you are hosting by yourself. Do that on a Tails live OS.

There are countless ways to get crypto anonymously. Please if you want to learn something here, I am willing to explain everything, but if you make a claim like that

It's still bitcoin so there is still no private way to pay

Please at least try to back it up with something that atleast comes close to an argument or something. I am going out of my way here to show you reality, just because of good will. Are you aware how long it took me just to upload those damn screenshots.

Again, there are countless ways to get BTC or what ever crypto anonymous, but still look at your original claims

You can only pay with kyc so it's not anonymous and even if you use a vpn with real debrid once you login to your account without it they know your ip so there is no way to use it anonymously.

You do need kyc. Could you explain how to pay for real debrid without kyc? Vpns are not private or anonymous anyways. You don't think law inforcements can figure out who you are just because you use a vpn?

You do not need KYC to pay with BTC, ETH or LTC on real debrid.

Now you are telling me, you need KYC to get your hands on some crypto. Wake up. You can also buy drugs in the street, guns what ever.

You can't pay without KYC, but thats a huge difference to your original claim.

I already know this but veven if you manage to pay anonymously if the goverment really wants to they will most likely figure out who you are. Why even do these things in the first place, are there anyone that have actually gotten caught using real debrid?

The other part of OpSec is using arch

[–] Dartanjang@feddit.nu 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Why just arch? There are other linux distros that are more privacy focused
