Hi Monero community! I want to announce the launch of our service.

Stealths is a privacy-friendly online store that sells stuff for cryptocurrencies.

Mastercard VCC (auto delivery)

VISA VCC (auto delivery)

SEPA Instant Transfer (auto delivery)

What do we aim to fix?

When you decide to go KYC-less, they are a few providers. But,

  1. They run the business completely manually. It's useless if you need to receive goods quick, there is nothing you can do.
  2. They are really slow. Moreover, they expect your "understanding" while profiting from your purchase.
  3. They have many unclear fees. Even tho their services are being promoted as "low fee", you receive less than what you paid for.

What did we do to change that?

  1. We focus on automated services. For now, we have some automated services: VISA/Mastercard virtual cards, SEPA transfer and virtual phone numbers. We are working on creating more automated services.
  2. Automated services make the process way faster. Receiving goods take approx. 2-3 minutes after payment, instead of waiting hours.
  3. We have clear fee policy, we inform you about all fees before payment. We are not deceiving anyone with fake, absurdly low fees.

Our store: https://stealths.net/store

Note: Stealths is currently in beta stage, our min/max transaction amounts are low. We'll increase them soon. Also more products will be added. If you have any recommendations about our existing/future services, feel free to let us know.

This is great, however I think we should really move away from names and slogans like "stealth, dark, secret". This gives it the connotation of illicit activity.

There is nothing stealth about not handing over irrelevant personal information to make a financial transaction, it's just normal activity.

Hi, thank you for thoughts. Unfortunately govs act like it's illegal to hide your identity, they are one step behind in declaring that it's crime. Especially since recent regulations, it made anonymous payments hard to impossible. This was what we point with "stealth" actually.

[–] tusker@monero.town 5 points 1 year ago

Yes, I do understand, but calling it something like safe-secure or dignity. Something with a positive vibe.

You notice the bankers called their pay system FedNow not slavePay, though the latter describes it better.

Looks very great! I will definitely test it out. I would love to hear if they use their own SEPA accounts for transfers or use some other service.

As such SEPA transfers could also origin from fraudulent accounts, and i don't want my bank account being used as a money mule.

Hi, SEPA transfers are being sent from prepaid cards (personal accounts) and these accounts are funded by legit source (directly from our bank account actually). So it's like P2P transaction (in the fact it's safer), but with automated system. We do not use any stolen/fraudulent account for any service.

try to get listed on kycnot.me

[–] stealths@monero.town 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Hi, thank you for the suggestion. We have applied to get listed on that website.

It's here: https://kycnot.me/service/stealths But it's not listed on the front page, I'm unsure what is needed.

[–] azalty@jlai.lu 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I asked to the website admin and they said it’s just pending verification. I guess websites are manually verified before being added. There’s a list on the website showing all unverified services that are awaiting verification: https://kycnot.me/pending

Looks great! Will try your services soon

[–] stealths@monero.town 2 points 1 year ago
