    I was not aware that could be a problem (had a debit card £ as a teen when online buying/downloading games started).

      even if you have a debit card, in much of the world unless it’s a visa/mastercard it’s not going to be accepted in many places online

      my debit card (in canada) uses interac. it’s accepted basically everywhere in physical stores, but online it’s pretty much useless if you don’t also have paypal (which is also not accepted everywhere a credit card would be)

        That sucks. Hopefully something can change that :/

        I’m hoping GNU Taler takes off.
