I’m looking for a way to have a private method for Tap to Pay on GrapheneOS. Ideally I would like compatibility with privacy.com, and if possible have the option for Monero. I don’t mind going through an exhaustive setup process. What are my options?
Edit: The point of this is not for convenience, I am trying to avoid using my standard credit/debit card to provide privacy against my bank by using privacy.com or Monero when cash is unavailable.
Take a bank card with an NFC chip and put it inside your phone case.
Lol I paid extra $60 for NFC. Only if I knew this trick I could have used that money to buy inflatable sex doll.
See? No need to thank me. ;)
Afaik some banks offer tap to pay in their own banking apps. My banking app used to do that until they fully switched to Google Pay and stopped letting the users use the builtin tap to pay functionality.
Other than Google pay or getting a card from a bank that offers that in their mobile app there isn’t a way afaik
Other than Google pay…
Google Pay’s Tap to Pay does not work on GrapheneOS.
GPay doesn’t work on GrapheneOS IIRC.
Apparently you can make it work, not that I would
looks like you’ll have to get some exercise and lift your wrist to the chip reader 😭 sigh…
From my understanding, the OP wanted to use a system that does not provide physical cards though.
cash
Yes, that would be the best. My point is that there might be still some middle ground that OP wants to use for some reason.
In terms of privacy, using a normal credit/debit card provides very little protection.
When paying in-person, I would rather exclusively use cash.
If you want to use Privacy, you can reprogram a magnetic stripe to work with privacy cards, you’ll just need a new card for each merchant.
