Same with monero 🫣

lol, if you were buried deep in the earth where time goes ... i forget even what the monero blocktime was... 1 minute? 2 ? so let's say 120 seconds then you must be about half way to hell, no idea what kind of network connection you have that lets you transact on the border of the magma layer under the crust

What? 😂 Let me pay with whatever I want and as long as I can, or not? Remember its an option offered by mullvad and i just said that it works pretty well and fast. Btw i dont understand your post at all, i just feel you a bit mad.

Literally every service online could be like this. Netflix, YouTube, cloud hosting... All the premium stuff

because their money comes from targeted ad revenue and selling user data, probably even moreso than what their subs cost or close to

we are still early... while you are riding this on the fifth gear, rest of the world is on reverse.

It really is the simplest online purchasing experience witch gives you that feelings of freedom 👌 No KYC and other privacy invading methods.

Why can't mulvad tie account numbers to npubs. (They could) Please! nostr:nprofile1qqsdru78zcu6uwa6zlludjx7k87m8ft9q6e5jgsn6qe49rxzj9frwpqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qdgkgx7

Why?

That seems to be the worst idea ever 😂

Seems like a great idea. Why would this be not a good idea?

because you'd be tying your browsing habits to an identity, you want the opposite. you should rotate account id every time instead of renewing

It doesn't matter if that identity is not your own.

Give me one good reason why you want to tie a VPN service that sees all your internet traffic to a unique ID that you use on the internet to post notes, articles , likes and send money to other people.

Because you don't have to use the same identity you use to post notes articles like and send money as you do for the identity you use to zap mulvad to fill time.

I have dozens of npubs, but even then.. what’s the benefit of using any npub as the identifier for a VPN service instead of a random 16 digit number? I strongly advise everyone to always create a new account with Mullvad and not to do a top up.

Literally the exact same system they have now except 32 bit key instead of 6 but account number.

You get a new mulvad account when you run out of time? How much time do you buy at a time? Same could be done with new npubs...

Their objective is literally to know the least about you

And there is nothing inherent in having a nostr account that says anything about you.

Nostr is not aimed to be a private network but the hole purpose of mullvad is to maintain your privacy, whats the objective to linked both?

Imagine zapping mulvad to add time...

Micropayment per minute use could be an interesting format for a vpn. You can always donate/zap them though

I hadn't even thought of that but yep. Another great interoperability factor.

Zero reason to do this

Except being able to just zap mulvad to fill more time.

I've got about twenty days left before my annual subscription runs out, so I'll wait until I've had enough sats and then start again for another year. Do you know of an alternative to Mullvad?

You can pay for all Proton services with Bitcoin, no KYC ✅

Thanks. But I've had a bad impression of Proton ever since they sold the user data to the Swiss police.

Depends on your threat model 😉

Thank’s nostr:npub1wp4f2lfrg9jqtqcjyhg5ua45f2857suvac746vysaky63mwcwk7qpal8ec

lol Lightning though, yet

Thank’s nostr:npub18cz9d0fsr27uuaxtvc3dmjtkyjxrc65tys3knjkcrw9wqedcezdssrfjj6

check this one npub1wlx4wqeyzzspw43gk56hlfj4k8ava262let5wvammn8djwx7jx3qp5zy3z

Thank you

It's all the same price now, whether you pay annually or not isn't it?

I'm hearing IVPN and Proton. You can now pay monthly using Lightning on Mullvad

nostr:nprofile1qqsg7vaqr8y4gkft8d07dqmztr8aqd9mxdhvyd4ylf9em8fv24wmajqprfmhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twd9ehgtn0wfnsz8thwden5te0wfjkccte9e382mrvd9ekscn0w4h8g7fwvdhk6qgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8qunfd4skctnwv46qg6qsmq

Meanwhile I had to renew my passport today (shitcoin) and they say it will take 2 business days to process the payment. I used a fuckin credit card...

Creating a new account is slightly better for privacy I think

what did you use? can't see the lightning option natively..

Just go to their website, enter your account number, then you'll see a Bitcoin lightning top up option

Yea its there as one of the options to pay using bitcoin

Ah terrific

It’s even worse. The credit card companies sell the illusion of “instant”, but in reality, it’s a 3-5 day turnaround to process everything with the banks.

💯

It’s coming!

Me paying for nostr:nprofile1qydhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytngw4eh5mmwv4nhjtnhdaexceqpr9mhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5qzqa7d2upjgy9qzatz3df407n9tv06e6454ljhguemhhxwmyudaydzd92h82 is also a few seconds, but it is preceded by my ritual of: checking the fuse, the wifi router, the provider, the VPN app, etc., before realizing that it's just my subscription expiry... 😎

heh Mullvad just pushes a pop up

More people need to experience it is all
