Ich verstehe nicht warum die großartige #paysafecard so selten für derartige Dienste akzeptiert wird.
Die Lösung könnte so einfach sein...

#justmy2cents

@goodthinkhunting #Klarna sind auch nur ne "Kontrollierte Opposition".

• #WasFehlt ist ne #EU-weite, echre #Alternative zu #PayPal & #Kreditkarten mit #Akzeptanzpflicht und anonymen Prepaid-Karten die gegen #Bargeld aufgeladen werden können.

Weil zzt. sind alle Lösungen entweser "PayPal nur schlechter" oder mit weniger Akzeptanz als #PaySafeCard, #JCB, #UnionPay, #WeChatPay, #AliPay und #Monero in #Deutschland!

@adisonverlice precisely that!

The only reason I'd not consider someone showing a drivers' license or ID card in-store for purchases of alcohol and tobacco is because one can basically hold it to only reveal one's photo and DOB and because it's neither practivcal nor feasible for staff to try to remember all the details within a second.

• Besides they only do it when they are 'doubtful' about someone's age as it ruins their flow even in a kiosk or gas station since most people won't have their ID ready to present…

Personally, I don't know of any good way to solve this online/remotely without it implementing #KYC even through circumstantial connection.

• May it be #PayPal / #CreditCard (#AVS-bit) / #SofortIdent (part if #SOFORT, now acquired by #Klarna), #PostIdent or any other format.

Like even if one were to offer some "#AgeVerification PIN" system (similar to TANs for #OnlineBanking) one would inevitably create a database of adults and their consumption / purchase / viewing habits.

• And that alone not only can, but will be weaponized to #blackmail and extort people.

So unless it's a #PaySafeCard-like system where one could just buy it at a kiosk fir cash (which does the *"age verification") there's no good way to do it.

• Although that too isn't secure nor watertight, as we all know from 17+ / 18+ / AO-rated games and movies: Just like tobacco & liquor it only needs some adults colluding to undermine it.

@ingo_wichmann @oec @JuxGD OFC #GeldKarte being a physical-/instore-only payment method alsp completely made it obsolete.

• I do hope the folks behind #wero take this as a lession and avoid these issues.

Otherwise they'd be self-sabotaging from the get-go.

• Personally I think the #EU really needs to speed up it's development and actually release a competent #CreditCard standard that like #UnionPay, #JCB & #MIR actually works and like #PaySafeCard supports both anonymous, non-reloadable code cards (cuz *"#AML") and directly linked #credit & #debit cards, with all types being useable in store, on ATMs and online.

I just doubt that this will happen given that #Zensursula heads @EUCommission …

@ingo_wichmann @oec @JuxGD we had that #Bullshit in the past already in #Germany.

• It was called #GeldKarte and basically noone adopted it [but like a few (school-) cafeterias (which are on their own statistically nonexistant in Germany!)] because schools don't get paid to offer free lunches, they don't want to handle cash and because #CreditCards are nonexistant [as under-16 can't have a bank account or access one themselves, so #Debit cards ain't an option either - ignoring that no #CreditCard issuer is allowed to issue CCs to minors (under-18) anyway, even if these are debit/prepaid.

• People don't want the friction of having to transfer stuff back and forth which in said case wasn't eben free!

Nit to mention it's only physical (Chip+PIN) sales compatible, meaning one can't even use it like #Paysafecard, and acceptance was worse at peak than for #SMSpayment!

@ustralien
And then IP rights holders and creators alike complain about illegal restreaming providers, when all they had to do is listen to #GabeN when it comes to service...

#Steam for example does support #PaySafeCard because it's convenient and everyone can just buy one at a local #Kiosk and it's much more convenient that even the #mycard2go back when #Wirecard was a thing and offered these non-reloadable #VCCs without "#KYC"...

#rant #venting #piracy #streaming #Nebula

Leider gibt's die #mycard2go nicht mehr, weil das waren #prepaid - #Kreditkarten von #wirecard.

• Gingen bis €100 einmalig anonym; besser als #PaySafeCard!
