Sounds bad 😂 I was thinking maybe using packetshops are a slightly better preserving privacy, because then your exact address is not doxxed. Only your city.
But other then that, I am on the same conclusion.
Discussion
Yeah, you get a proxy involved and it can protect your privacy, but only as far as you trust the proxy.
I am not sure, if you can use such a packetshop without giving your real address.
But I would assume, if you have the receiver packetshop, you could send the package from any packetshops, without an address, because why would you need it? So they don't have the info to leak. So it is not really a proxy.
But definitely you have to trust the company. But you have to also if you share your address with them, so that does not change.
What do you think?
I think, I will look around.
That's not correct. You have to pay for the service, and that comes with traceability, unless you find one that takes cash and doesn't ask for any billing info.
If you can find that, then that's ideal.
I think if you can do it physically in a shop to send, you can pay by cash. Also you don't need any account, but you still get a tracking number.
Like with sending packages via post from a post office.
But not sure if it works with sending to packet shops. But I read somewhere that you can send to packet shops with simply addressing that, and not a unique address.
So there might be a solution.
Here I'm able to let eshop deliver to automated box.
I can use anonymous email to order, with some shops when phone is required I can use some anonymous number, or even fake number because in reality it's needed for nothing. Pay with BTC.
And pickup is happening based on entering pin received via that email.
Sure ehsop asks for invoice address but that is simply fake, and who cares.
Also I'm still able to buy phone number anonymously for cash, unlike in many European countries.
And payment via cash by delivery is still quite common here. So you can use address of hotel, pub, and whatever just say I'm Mr. Smith, here is 100...
But of course it is being used less and less. Everyone has card in Apple/Google Pay and uses it for buying everything including bubble gum.
Yeah. I kind of hate Google and Apple pay. And unfortunately there is no other wallet app to use virtual cards physically.
So you say, that paying with BTC is the hardest part? Or you also have many option for that?
