does 2fiat actually send out physical cards btw? you should note this, because virtual cards using NFC means googled phone.
all the info i can find says that graphene with google stuff installed is unreliable.
Need a recipe for safe and private taxi travel? Try the following:
- Create a dedicated user in Graphene OS with Google Play installed (unfortunately, a prerequisite)
- Install your preferred app (Uber, Bolt, Cabify, etc)
- Use a rental number from nostr:npub1qmw7jhczdr8yqy5t7u72d6z4v7u9va5gaff0ynwd2u6wwlzs7tvs694er8
- Add a 3DS card from https://2fiat.com (6% fee)
- Use a dedicated email from proton.me
- Use a VPN such as mullvad, ivpn, or obscura (works on android with wireguard)
- USE A FAKE NAME
For max privacy, wear a covid mask during the ride due to frequent use of in-cab cameras.
Enjoy private travel!

No, you get a link with a card details that you can copy paste for online purchases
We don't recommend Google / Apple pay as it would destroy the privacy benefit
that's how i'll use it. the $30 fee for creating the card is brutal tho.
Google Pay is the only significant thing which does not work with GrapheneOS, but you can use a smartwatch.
Tested Garmin Pay so far, no problems.
