Any Newsgroup provider who allows anonymous payements ?

Hi guys,

I'm searching a usenet provider who accepts anonymous payements (Bitcoins?).

Any ideas ?
I'm willing to pay a full year if necessary.

Thanks for your help, HexCore.

Do any real businesses take bit coins? Are they even possible to turn into real cash? You may be better off using one that accepts cash payments through the mail with fake information if needed. Blocknews and usenetnow both take cash pyments till not sure if there are others that still do.

I don't know how anonymous Bitcoins really is. It seems that any of these electronic cash-transfer services sooner or later tend to find themselves in the crosshairs of legal authorities. For instance, a few years ago, many eGold investors had their funds confiscated and turned over to the US government, even though members thought the service was safe because it was located offshore.

It seemed that Easynews also used to accept cash payments in the mail for many years, but this was before being bought out by Highwinds, so I don't know the situation now. I would suspect that probably many of the newer, smaller resellers would be willing to accept cash in the mail if you asked them.

Real expensive but I guess if you must use bitcoins for whatever reasons it will be your only option. True anon would be cash with fake info.

Easynews still has signup by mail, looks like they are taking money orders and cashiers checks - you send in the amount for the number of months you want to download and pay for - they let you pay for what you want and thats it, they care, they don't bend you over a barrel.
