- Where to buy amazon gift cards (with btc)
Where can I buy $500 gift cards for amazon.com with cryptocurrency?
When bitcoin topped $70,000 recently, I went to a few gift card outlet websites. But when I actually went to add a $500 gift card for amazon.com to my cart, they said it was "currently unavailable".
Did amazon.com stop selling gift cards to third parties? Or was this a temporary supply problem during the ATH?

- Bitcoin Debit Card (without a phone)
Where can I signup for a bitcoin debit card without a phone?
There are a number of "bitcoin debit card" providers -- services that issue you a traditional visa/mastercard/etc debit card that allows you to pay for purchases in fiat, but where the balance of the card is automatically converted from your cryptocurrency balance stored on their custodial wallet.
> Note that a "bitcoin debit card" is distinct from gift cards in that the balance lives in an account below the debit card, not on the card itself. This is important because otherwise you may end-up with tons of different cards with low balances. It's important for my business that I can pay invoices with a single card, and if that card expires then the balance can simply be spent on the card's replacement.
Unfortunately, I've been unable to find any providers that do not require a phone to be linked to the account.
For security reasons, I do not mix insecure devices like my phone with high-risk accounts like financial services. Therefore, it's important that I find financial services that don't require a phone number to be linked to the account (shudder at the thought of implementing 2FA over SMS) or an app.
Coinsbank requires a phone number. Wirex requires a phone number. Cryptopay requires an app (which grants access to the account to a phone). Unbanked (Ternio) is dead.

- F2Pool disables transaction filtering patchwww.nobsbitcoin.com F2Pool Disables Transaction Filtering Patch (For Now)
After a series of erratic posts, F2Pool's co-founder, Chun, admitted that F2Pool had been involved in transaction censoring and stated that the filtering patch has been disabled for now.
Good decision to reverse, but I still hope miners move away from F2Pool and ideally into self-hosting.

So I'm curious with the whole Ledger seed backup controversy, are Ledger devices actually safe? Should I continue to use my Ledger? I don't have much so I'm not too concerned, but I'd like to still sleep peacefully at night regardless.
