You can just use a service like SMSPVA, phone verification doesn't break anonymity. It's a reasonable anti-spam measure, you have to burn a tiny amount of cryptocurrency in order to register.
- Madmallard 5y agocryptocurrency isn’t anonymous though?
- FDSGSG 5y agoWhat do you mean? Monero is definitely anonymous. Obviously all cryptocurrencies aren't anonymous, but anyone with half a brain can understand that I'm referring to anonymous cryptocurrencies.
- waffle_ss 5y agoMany of these services use a limited pool of phone numbers that have already been used to register accounts on Twitter, and Twitter won't let you use them for fresh signups.
- FDSGSG 5y agoSMSPVA has thousands of numbers that haven't been used on twitter, it also wont recycle the same numbers for the same service.
- waffle_ss 5y agoGlad to hear they thought of that - I haven't used this particular service before. However, I just looked at it and there are zero United States numbers available to rent for Twitter signups right now. I could use one of the European numbers but given my experience with how sensitive Twitter is to sketchiness I'm guessing I'd get more random phone number verification requests.
