In the past I’ve recommended sms-activate for easy, quick and low cost phone verification. When you want to log in, they now force you to click on a verification link send by email, meaning you are f’ed if you used a single-use email address.

Are there any alternative options that accept monero and don’t have this restriction?

      Is there a swap service that can pay out as little as 3000 stats? trocador starts at 30000 sats, and I’d like to avoid lightning altogether.

    Why is there an issue? Your throwaway emails can on sites like https://tmail.link let you easily generate your emails, and you can access those inboxes any time. Perhaps you can save the email associated to a phone number or something sensible?

      No, it was a throwaway gmail I used for multiple things. Yes, I probably could use some other service (your recommendation looks good btw), but if I have a balance on some site I don’t what them to lock me out for any reason. This is not the kind of company I want to do business with.

    But if email verification is the problem can’t you just prepare an anonymous email address, like by signing up Disroot, Tutanota, etc. etc. (and via Tor if necessary)?

      They suddenly want me to verify the email I used for creating the account years ago, it was never an issue before. I cant access that anymore tho, so I’m now locked out of the (few cents worth of) funds, still on that site.

        Ah that’s too bad. Then… you’re locked out, I know that sux. Ideally, you could’ve gotten an anonymous domain of your own, e.g. from Njalla, and then you can have as many new mail addresses as you like, [email protected]. As long as you have that domain, your email addresses will work forever (even though e.g. a hosting company disappears, you can just use another hosting company, by simply editing dns). But obviously, it’s too late…
