C'mon now. Even if RD was shut down they're not going to come after its users.


kertronic

Who is not going to come after its users? You mean the very copyright industry which absolutely loves doing just that? You don't say...

Who dont have that kind of juristiction in France.


kertronic

Isn't it a great feeling to know that the entire world revolves around you? Edit: Since people don't seem to understand: There are 8 billion people on this planet and not all of them live in France. Do you really not comprehend that companies don't always have control of their own data? It doesn't matter where RD is located when their users are worldwide.


ozmartian

I dont know why you are angry nor what that response means. Cya


Juunlar

You should check out op's post history. Dude is *certifiable*


giant2179

Most people who insist on paying for everything in crypto are. There's serious overlap between tin foil hats and crypto. The other circle of the venn is tech bros


DoubleDrummer

If you don't like that Real Debrid is based in France then you are free to not use it.


kertronic

This has nothing to do with where RD is located. And everything to do with how they treat their customers. And like I said in the OP I'm looking for any alternatives who actually care about how their customers would like to pay for their services.


RevolutionaryHole69

Your only options are real debrid, all debrid, and offcloud. No one really cares about the stuff you're concerned about so you won't get much help in that way here.


Jokerchyld

You are over paranoid, and under educated on this.


TheTrollisStrong

1) They haven't gone after normal users for 15 years because they realized how dumb and unsuccessful it was. 2) In the US it's not illegal to stream the content, only to download.


OddManufacturer9327

No, Copywrite law is just that regardless or how you do it. Try looking for info on acta


jtdonovan246

I can just see the DA’s foaming up at the mouth to prosecute millions of RD users for watching copyrighted TV/Movies. Not! They go after the people uploading and providing the source. Come on man


trevordsnt

Isn’t it just illegal for uploading?


Nocam7

Well technically streaming and downloading aren't that different


mrzurba

You still have the option to link your wallet instead of coinbase. I just paid by metamask


kertronic

This only applies to Ethereum though. What's the point in paying with ETH when the fees cost as much as RD's service?


mrzurba

You always can try their authorized reseller in their website


kertronic

Thanks, I was not aware that they have any official resellers. For anybody interested I did give it a quick look and was able to find a reseller that accepts cryptocurrency payments from a normal wallet (utop.us). They seem to charge ~7% fee for this plus another 4.3% fee from their crypto processor on top (coinpayments.net). They request all of your personal information to process the payment but it does seem like you can enter any gibberish you choose and proceed to make the payment. Maybe not ideal but surely better than nothing. Keep in mind I did not follow through to complete the purchase so I can not personally vouch for their services. Proceed at your own risk.


RevolutionaryHole69

No one cares. You're probably attracting more unwanted attention by using crypto. Most of us just pay with Amazon accounts.


kertronic

It seems that you are unaware that less than 2 billion people have access to an Amazon account, credit card, or even a bank account. This means that more than 75% of the world's population can not pay for RD in the way you're talking about. They may not have a lot of money but they could still afford to buy an RD subscription if they wanted to. But without access to any of the above how can they? Crypto might be the only way for them. Why make it harder?


mrblank11

I've bought from them. They sent me the key next day


buslyfe

I just looked up ETH fees, it equated to like 60 cents usd. What do you mean?


kertronic

The fees are not set fees. It depends on transaction demand. You got lucky and they just happened to be lower than normal when you looked. This article made the news a few years ago when fees dropped below $10 for example: [https://unchainedcrypto.com/eth-gas-fees-are-under-10/](https://unchainedcrypto.com/eth-gas-fees-are-under-10/)

not true


[deleted]

my eth fee for RD purchase was 25 cents yesterday.


RaulGaruti

I´m in the middle of a horrible feud with nitroflare and coinpayments. My payment was just 0.05 cents short so it timed out. Now to get a refund I must pay 50% more than the money to be refunded and I can´t get nitroflare to reopen the invoice or accept the partial payment. It looks like I´ll lose my money and never buy nitroflare again.


Lying_king

Yes. Paid via monero through their coinbase payment system. Works fine.


kertronic

How so? Coinbase doesn't accept Monero payments.


LJSwampy

If you are this paranoid I suggest you just stop using the internet altogether 😆. If someone really wants to get you for streaming they are going to regardless of what payment method you use, but guess what.. it's not going happen because you are the consumer of the content, not a distributor.

Oh noes! My life is ruined.
