So.. I'd suggest a project of mine. Full disclosure, you require more than one burner device. Ultimately you'll want a VPN you can trust. Also - it depends how much your anonymity is worth to you, and your relative cost. Similarly - to whom do you want to be anonymous?
I wanted to create a fully digital individual. My goal was to go from end to end. I bought (in cash) a prepaid credit card. I used said prepaid credit card to sign up to the VPN, paying for 3 years - under the assumption the card is burned. With said VPN I created a paid for email account with a trusted service (not gmail or office). I used said email to sign up with a VOIP provider, to receive a telephone number that could receive SMSes.
Then, I signed up for a twitter, and a domain. Use the above to set up a corporation with nominee shareholders in the jurisdiction of your choice, same with bank account. Congratulations - you can now buy your certificate.
Now, using the funds of the corporation do everything above again - such that you're able to tie the corporation's CC to the outcomes.
There's a lot more - but this is a reasonable start.
This may be illegal where you live. At the very least, depending on how you use the above there are tax implications.
- captn3m0 4y agoSetting up a corporation in most jurisdictions would require a valid ID proof, no?
- MrDresden 4y agoOn top of that, at least in EU, the regulation has gone further, and major shareholders of private companies now need to be identified publicly. I'll caveat this by having only experience of this from my own European country of residence, which had to put this regulation in place due to EEA requirements.

- nsonha 4y agonot related but is "prepaid credit card" a debit card? Also why is the card with the debt is called "credit" and the one with actual money is called "debit"? Driven me crazy.
- ask_b123 4y agoPossibly because debit is debt from the bank's POV? They owe you that amount of money. I'm not sure though.
- pc86 4y agoNo, a "prepaid credit card" is a credit card with a balance of $0 but you pre-pay a certain amount. So you buy a card for $500, you can charge up to $500 on it then it's useless. Similar, but not linked to any bank account. A debit card debits from your account. A credit card requires the bank to extend you credit.
- morpheuskafka 4y agoIn that case the card effectively is a bank account of its own and often has features such as accepting direct deposit. I believe those cards are regulated as Reg E (EFT/debit) and not Reg Z (credit). They aren't regulated as banks, though a lot of them do place the money with a bank to get FDIC protection, but there was a major regulation change for these accounts a few years back that added more requirements for fee disclosure and ID verification.
- happyopossum 4y agoWhen you have a credit card, the issuer is providing you credit, and a debit card draws on debits from your checking account.
- 3np 4y agoWould you be able to name the voip provider?
- honkdaddy 4y ago> Use the above to set up a corporation with nominee shareholders How are you anonymous in this case? It doesn't seem like the VPNs are gonna make any difference if the government still knows exactly who you are when the tax man comes knocking.
- cik 4y agoThis isn't a tax avoidance scheme at all. There are countless, easier ways to do this frankly. VPNs help obfuscate the ability to trace the individual - nothing more. My ultimate goal is to have a passport issued to this individual. It's possible.
