Protonmail requires a credit card, your phone number, and javascript, while harping on about their privacy and Switzerland insulation.
What about crypto, no javascript and no phone number?
Free email providers do the no javascript and no phone number thing.
It is like trying its hardest to collect your information
It reminds me of Nigerian scammers, they intentionally say ridiculous things to weed out people smart enough to walk away.
- nunobrito 8y agoThis is false. I've paid Protonmail using bitcoin and that is all that was needed.
- gammateam 8y agohow? I just did the $4 plan right now, and it is asking for credit card, paypal. I do see the possibility of a gift code. what am I missing here also the captcha is not a possibility when I last tried over TOR. it was SMS only
- nunobrito 8y agoI was looking on my dashboard and seems that bitcoin is only available for the yearly payments. Try switching to yearly and you should now see the option. This is odd because my first monthly payment was effectively done with bitcoin (I wanted to try it out). This was some 10 months ago. Maybe it got changed in the meanwhile.
- nunobrito 8y agoSorry to hear about the TOR restriction.
- bootlooped 8y agoSince encryption (and decryption) is done by client-side Javascript, and you don't want them to run Javascript, how would you prefer the encryption be done?
- gammateam 8y agoI didn't realize they were doing an end to end or zero knowledge system. okay, then I'll do that in whonix. regarding the payment I couldn't see how to pay in crypto and also get a simple captcha instead of SMS verification
