Paranoid23 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I would like to update my account to premium but I'd rather not provide personal details, like my real name, street and country. I've been the scammed before on the internet and unless I'm ordering something that needs to be shipped to my home I avoid entering any personal details. It's not that I don't trust the Nexus but sites get hacked and info gets stolen, so information I don't provide can't leak. So, is it possible to update to lifetime premium without entering real billing information? Or do you provide bitcoin payments for example?

DrakeTheDragon Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Anonymously going Premium won't really work, as the banks and other payment services won't allow it. But from what I can see on the payment type selection page paying by debit/credit card for example will only need the usual payment details you're entering on every online shop site. I can't really say what PayPal will require you to enter though, as I'm not using PayPal myself so far. I'm not sure 'any' of this will even be stored on the site or rather just passed along to the payment services instead. I think the only one to answer this would be Dark0ne, as he's the only one able to handle this financial business. If he's not coming into here himself up next, you could try to get in contact with him via the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page, selecting Premium Membership as the department sounds about right.

Paranoid23 Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Thanks for "contact us" tip, might be a good option. PayPal offers anonymous payment through IPN, instant payment which allows you to redirect payments to PayPal and the site only sees whether a payment succeeds or not. But maybe that's not used on the Nexus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I don't remember giving this site my name or address, the payment appeared to be tied to my user name, Paypal had it of course and I don't know if they pass it on. One option is pre pay cards, you can have them in any name, I keep one for sites I'm not sure about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 If you pay via the Pay Pal method then you can enter anything in your personal details column (e.g. Spongebob Squarepants, Underwater Lane, The Sea) and then enter your personal details properly at the Pay Pal side of things. Your actual personal details are needed at some point as it's what the banks use to verify your card details against your name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8Cirrus8 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I don't have a credit card but I would pay by bitcoin if that option was available. Would it be considered or is that option a firm no-go for the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
