Editor’s Note: Due to the highly technical and link-focused nature of this article, I didn’t do a reading – I tried, and it sounded terrible. Not the fault of the author, not everything translates well to audio.
When you associate with a movement such as this, and have something to lose (e.g. you have a job and people to support), you shouldn’t just go around using your real name and information and calling people the gamer word. Of course, if that is your bag, please don’t let me stop you. There is a way to help insulate yourself from the doxing that is so commonplace in this community. Always remember that no method is fool-proof, and that it’s still possible to get doxxed. Let’s just make it harder for them.
Telegram has shown itself to be a good platform for communication, with a few “censoring” attempts that can be bypassed. Telegram, unfortunately, requires a phone number to create an account. There are a couple of ways around this, your ability to implement is dependent on your proximity to infrastructure and your ability to computer at a reasonable level.
If you have any questions or comments on what I have written here, please leave them in the comments. Though I do not get notifications when comments are left, I will certainly try and check back from time to time.
Method One: Pre-Paid Cell Phone (Burner Phone)
Authors Note: I have not done this method personally, I am just outlining a possible solution for folks who are not as Internetly as those young whippersnappers.
Step 1: Buy a pre-paid cell phone. For best effect, find a market that does not have cameras, uses an old-style cash register, and use cash. Buying one of these from Wal-Mart with your debit card is not advised. It is also possible to get one of these phones used and just buy an activation card for that, but I do not know off-hand where you might find a used prepaid phone. Maybe you can get a sim card and activation? Your mileage may vary.
Step 2: Activate the phone. Sometimes you need to buy a card with it, but some phones come with some amount of talk time/data that you can use to perform the next steps. Whatever the case, buy as little as possible. Under no circumstances should you give them a credit card or any personal information when signing up.
Step 3: Download the official Telegram app from here: https://telegram.org/android
Step 4: Sign up for a Telegram account using this phone number and a random user name. Do not re-use an old username. I like this one recently: https://www.coolgenerator.com/username-generator
Literally only use this phone for signing up for Telegram and nothing else. Don’t call your mom. Don’t text your buddy. It’s been suggested that using a burner phone for criminal shit is ineffectual because we all have particular usage patterns, and those can be analyzed by the gubmin. Whether that is true or not is up for debate, but best to not chance it.
Method Two (NFT’S BITCH!)
This is not for the faint of heart, but is definitely the cooler of the two. If you are not versed in the nuances of cryptocurrency, this might not be for you.
This method involves buying one type of currency, converting to another, sending to another wallet, connecting the wallet to a website, and purchasing an NFT that is stored in that second wallet. This is also all meant to be done on an Android phone (even an old one), of which you can buy on Amazon or eBay for as little as $5.
It’s not really as complicated as it sounds, but I am also a nerd.
This can and should be all done using a VPN with an end-point in Europe. The site where you will purchase your anonymous phone number (https://fragment.com) does not allow access from the US. VPNs are outside the scope of this particular article, but I am working on an article regarding VPN usage and setup.
Step 1: Buy some ETH (Ethereum) currency in a wallet that can exchange to TON. I found that the Atomic Wallet (https://atomicwallet.io/) works great for this, accepts credit cards (or pre-paid cards) to buy crypto, and can exchange with the TON currency you will need to purchase the anonymous phone number.
At the time of this writing, you can purchase an anonymous phone number for 40 TON (which equates to about $100 or so).
Step 2: Exchange the ETH you bought for TON
Step 3: Download the Tonkeeper Wallet (https://github.com/tonkeeper/wallet)
Step 4: In Tonkeeper, hit the Receive button and copy your wallet address. In Atomic (or whatever wallet that you have your TON in) hit Send and enter the Tonkeeper wallet address.
Step 5: Once the TON is in your Tonkeeper wallet, open a web browser and go to Fragment (https://fragment.com). Remember: You have to be connected to a VPN or a proxy to get to this site.
Step 6: Hit the Numbers tab, change the On auction dropdown to For sale, then sort by Price low to high. Unless you are a baller, want to venture into trying to get one of these numbers for less in an auction, or get a fancy number. Thats on you.
At the time of this writing, there are 40-50 anonymous numbers for 40 TON, and a bunch more for slightly more than that. The number really doesn’t matter unless you want to flex on people. I guess there is the potential for investment too, but that is not what I am after with this.
Step 7: Choose a number and in the purchase screen you should be prompted to connect your Tonkeeper wallet.
Step 8: After your wallet is connected you should be able to buy the number with your TON currency. Once you purchase the number, it will appear as an NFT in your Tonkeeper wallet.
Step 9: Once you have the number in your wallet, go back to Telegram and create a new account using that number.
10: Telegram will prompt you to get an login code for the phone number. You can get this on the Fragment website under My Assets, Anonymous Numbers. Get the login code from there and enter it into Telegram.
Step 11: ???
Step 12: Profit.
Regrettably, I didn’t take any screenshots during this process. If you encounter issues please leave a comment below or contact me on Telegram.
Appreciate the article. I believe you need to bypass a QR code to use fragment. You should also be buying eth with monero.
You can still simply rent out cheap numbers for the verification texts as far as I’m aware. The issue being you also need the anonymous phone to sign up with the app on, with web traffic hidden via vpn or tor. The easiest way of doing this is to emulate android on your computer (virtualbox, anbox, etc). I suspect a lot more people are doing this than using fragment.
There’s also the whole topic of esims which is a mindfuck. I think you should be able to set up lineageos or grapheneos on a phone, set up a firewall so all traffic goes through a vpn or tor, and buy an anonymous esim.
Couple links you should check out:
https://kycnot.me/ (anonymous crypto exchanges and services)
dreadytofatroptsdj6io7l3xptbet6onoyno2yv7jicoxknyazubrad.onion/ – heads up, nothing illegal here but it’s a forum mostly frequented by drug-dealing scum. You’ll still find good information and links to check out though.
This is fantastic info, thanks for sharing!
