I already have a seedbox, but I am realizing I paid for it with my credit card (dumb) even though I used a fake name and contact info. I am going to change providers and migrate my data, but I now need to actually pay for it securely (piracy in my country is only legal if only downloading) since I not only plan to seed to a private tracker and others but also would like to buy a larger box to help out with anna’s archive torrents. How do you all pay for your usenet / seedboxes?

I understand if crypto is recommended, but I dislike using it due to high overhead costs and general skepticism, so I would love some other options or providers that offer them (current provider only has crypto, stripe and PayPal).

    Paysafecard is perhaps an option to you. It’s like a giftcard in that you buy it in cash and receive a code.

    It’s recommended to wear a fake moustache when buying the card, and make sure the color matches your actual hair color otherwise it’s an immediate giveaway!

      Why the satire? OP wants to do something illegal, admits doing it, and asks for tips how to do it in a larger scale online. What’s wrong with that?

        Paysafecard is a genuine option. The moustache tip is important. I might be high atm.
