Is there a way to donate with a pre-paid non-reloadable visa card? If yes, how?
Thanks.

Hi Darrell, first of all thanks :-)
You can follow the instructions on the "Donate" page under the "Credit card" section. The process is a bit convoluted at the moment, but with a bit of effort, it should work. https://www.trinitydesktop.org/donate.php

I looked at that page before posting here. I tried accessing the "SimpleSwap" site with Firefox, but looks like the browser must be configured with zip-point-shit security or addons. I tried with Falkon and the web page puked with error messages.
I guess the short answer to my question is no. :(

I haven't used it to be honest, but I tried opening the page in Firefox and I didn't have any issues/problems. Not sure the "zip-point-shit security or addon" come up later in the process or if perhaps you have some other settings causing this to come up... I reckon javascript blockers or other stuff may be a possible reason in case you are using them. Other than that, perhaps Slavek will know more :-)
Cheers Michele

Yeah, those of us who are paranoid and annoyed with modern web design use a lot of blocking addons. Likely if I temporarily allow uBO and NoScript to accept the site then I might proceed further. Probably need to enable cookies too.
Even then that might not answer my question. I once tried to use a prepaid card for Mullvad and discovered that European retailers block such cards purchased in America.
The site didn't look trustworthy to me, but then again I'm the paranoid browser kind of person. I replied late at night, past my bedtime, got frustrated.
Should be an easier way to donate. I never used Paypal and likely never will. I use online banking but don't care much for that option. Much prefer cash on the barrel so I'm the square peg in a world do round holes.
