Cypher Card review

The terms rule identity checks out, or the design makes them impossible.

Usable without creating an account, or the account is only a random number.

An email address is not required to sign up or use it.

A phone number is never required.

Monero hides sender, receiver and amount, so the payment cannot be traced to you.

Bitcoin Lightning payments: fast, cheap and more private than on-chain.

Cash by post or in person: no bank and no blockchain record.

An official .onion address, reachable only through Tor.

Core functions work with scripts disabled, as in Tor Browser on its safest setting.

The operator never controls user funds, so it cannot freeze them.

A third party audited the code or the no-logs claim, and the report is public.

The operating company and its jurisdiction are published.

Has operated continuously for five years or more.

The terms reserve the right to demand identity documents, often after a risk flag.

Deposits are scored by blockchain analytics; a flag can freeze them.

Orders go to upstream exchanges that apply their own screening.

The operator controls user funds while they are on the platform.

An email address is required to use the service.

A phone number is required to use the service.

No company or person is publicly responsible for the service.
