True, but at least Taler allows for the consumer to chose merchants who specify they don't sell data. Right now I can't buy anything online and not be tracked by the payment provider unless I use bitcoin. The prepaid credit cards here all require online registration and in store identification, Visa/Mc/Amex then track my purchases. If I show ID to buy $200 worth of Taler in a 7-11, there's no way for my Taler provider to see what I used it for.
- hackuser 11y ago> Right now I can't buy anything online and not be tracked by the payment provider unless I use bitcoin Here are a couple of solutions I've seen but haven't tried: * Masked Cards by Abine (a privacy service): Abine gives you a card to use and you pay Abine. Obviously, you'll need to trust Abine. https://dnt.abine.com/#feature/payments https://dnt.abine.com/#feature/payments * PaySafeCard: A prepaid card; "You don't have to enter any personal information or bank account or credit card details.
