I want to use Claude to make a FOSS project making which can get me in trouble, especially in my country. I want to leave no trace between my real self and the project, as such I want to buy a claude subscription anonymously. How can I do that? I only found some shady website that claims to resell Claude for usdt. I need to pay with Monero or something like that.

The so‑called “privacy” providers (ProtonMail, Tutanota) won’t let you create an account without providing identifying details. Their paid plans don’t accept XMR or any crypto, which is surprising.
I tried buying Gmail accounts from a site with “dark” in the name — all of them were banned immediately; maybe I’m doing something wrong. Same with Yahoo and others. ProtonMail eventually worked, but it wouldn’t let me register Claude until I bought another email account and used that to verify the first one, and only then used that first one to register Claude.
Ironically, that “darknet” shop had no .onion address, required JavaScript, and used Cloudflare or something. Another site where I bought a residential proxy blocks some Tor nodes. The Claude site wouldn’t let me download the executable without a proxy.
Many of these shady vendors don’t accept XMR for payment — absurd. If I’m buying a proxy for privacy, expecting me to pay by credit card is laughable. So far I’ve wasted about $50 on accounts that didn’t work. I was promised refunds sometimes, but other times I couldn’t get one because the sellers required a working email to process it.
Right now I’ve paid another dubious site for a Claude subscription and they say it’ll take 12 hours — I’m worried it’s a scam.
Staying anonymous is basically impossible; I’ve wasted ridiculous time and money. If I’d had an anonymous Claude subscription from the start, I could’ve let it handle all these dumpster sites for me.
And to anyone saying “you don’t need AI, use your brain”: that’s easy for people who’ve never built a real software project. They don’t understand how slow and tedious handling APIs, build systems, and all the small headaches is. By the time you finish at that pace vs the pace the world is moving at right now, it will become irrelevant anyway.
All in all the web is so hostile towards anonimity it's unbelievable, including most websites you'd expect to be privacy-first, including this one btw.

>>33403>I need to pay with Monero or something like that.Cake Wallet features NanoGPT and markets it as "No subscription, pay with crypto."
Never actually tried it, but it has to accept XMR payments since Cake Wallet is known for its excellent XMR support.

>I want to use Claude to make a FOSS projectAs others already have stated, you should be coding your own projects using your own brain instead of automatizing the process using an LLM trained on other people's code. Don't let your reasoning to decay.
>a FOSS projectIt would be meaningless for AI generated projects to be FOSS. If contribution is made by people and the maintainer is an AI, one of the greatest benefits of open source of collective development becomes meaningless.

>Ironically, that “darknet” shop had no .onion address, required JavaScript, and used Cloudflare or something.It's dreadful how many *supposedly* privacy-respecting services use Cloudflare.
>And to anyone saying “you don’t need AI, use your brain”: that’s easy for people who’ve never built a real software project. They don’t understand how slow and tedious handling APIs, build systems, and all the small headaches is.Yeah, that's one thing, but there are several approaches to mitigate this. And each one of them still requires a certain amount of dedication. But I guess that's the price to keep your mind sharp in the age of LLMs.
One thing I'd advise is to stick faithfully to minimal architecture design helps a lot. Like less endpoints, more modularization, etc. Avoiding feature creep and merging similar features into one in way that doesn't kill UX is the way.

> that’s easy for people who’ve never built a real software project.LLMs are barely a few years old, how do you think people here have been making a living. come on, man. what the fuck are you even talking about.
