    This would be really neat, however it’s not trivial to sell those everywhere. If you’re lucky to live in a country or even city where they can get those to, you’re golden. If you don’t, you’re screwed.

    Unfortunately, as much as I love the idea and tech behind Monero, actually accepting it is not practical at all, as the coin is used a lot for criminal stuff and is thus very strictly followed by many agencies. We don’t know if they can break it, but even they don’t, businesses can get a rough treatment just for accepting Monero. It’s perfectly understandable if they’d rather not do it.

      Scratchcards are sold at ecommerce sites which makes them significantly more accessible. If you really want to be “anonymous” (with very big quotes) you can buy gift cards for those sites with cash then order to a collection point. Otherwise, sure, it’s not as good as paying with cash but all there’s a trail for is that you bought Mullvad credits that cannot be tied to any account.
