So a few family members use Google for mobile payment. They are aware of the privacy implications but are there any good alternatives? PayPal is just as bad and any other alternatives I found are crypto.
Cold, hard cash. It’s the only truly private monetary transaction you can have.
If you just don’t want to go through Google or Apple, there’s always a normal bank. But even they keep records and could be selling that info.
Crypto isn’t even private. It also keeps records of transactions and unlike a bank, they’re public.
As a GrapheneOS user, google wallet doesn’t support tap to pay. Would love to see a solution here.
Bank cards. Contactless payments or cash :)
Waiting on open wallet foundation to finish their frameworks for that…
The only private payment method is cash.
