Very different from other eSIM providers. Go gentle on us Disclosure: I work on PikaSim, an eSIM service that offers data + phone-number + SMS verification without account/ID required. Posting because the implementation detail seemed relevant to this sub specifically, not just "we accept XMR now." We run our own Monero node behind a self-hosted BTCPay Server. That means an XMR payment goes straight into a PikaSim-controlled wallet, no swap service, no conversion to BTC, no third-party payment processor sitting in the middle reading the transaction. Ring signatures, stealth addresses, and RingCT are Monero's job, not ours; we're not adding anything on top, just not routing around it either, which is the more common failure mode with "we accept crypto" claims." ### Post #10 by @reddit > **Author:** serejandmyself ([@reddit](https://x.com/reddit)) > **Metrics:** 21 likes · 0 retweets · 4 comments · 2.1K views > **Posted:** 2026-07-09T13:50:51.669000+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/reddit/status/5dfc715fdc1043ef953d84805259c1265b500ed32eb2d87892a98b6f494311aa](https://x.com/reddit/status/5dfc715fdc1043ef953d84805259c1265b500ed32eb2d87892a98b6f494311aa) > > "We finally added Monero to our explorer.
