Cool idea.
There is the SPEDN and Flexa network in the states that let's Canadian users register. Soon to be available here they say. They give you credit for you Cybercoins.
There is also cred earn via uphold. You mentioned not enjoying Brave browser, but BAT tokens, Bitcoin and a few other major alts can easily be linked through Uphold and the brave browser, they have debit and credit for canadian dollar transactions.
Crypto.com has some kind of card too I am not familiar with.
I will be following this, thanks for sharing.
The problem is that Uphole requires your biometric ID, and the address where you sleep at night, in order to be confirmed, and you can't use it until you confirm it. Uphold is a privacy and decentralization nightmare.
So the $30 in BAT tokens I earned for watching Brave ads is sitting there unable to be used.
I hear they are working to get rid of Uphold, and if that happens, I might have a chance to get at those tokens.
I haven't heard of Spedn / Flexa networks. If they do something useful, and don't require me to give up privacy, I'll have a look.
take a look I have only used these services for small transactions but they do at least work, there is the option of a fake ID to which I have been considering since my bank accounts just got closed and I was offered no explanation, I don't really feel obligated to explain myself to the banks if they don't feel obligated to explain themselves to me.
