I am looking for a cheap seedbox. It doesn't need more than 1TB of storage, and it would be nice if I could pay with Paysafecards

I used to buy Monero/Bitcoin with Paysafecards on LocalMonero/AgoraDesk, but it was recently shut down. I'm waiting for Haveno, a new, decentralized Monero exchange. That way, you can use almost any seedbox provider, because they usually have an option for crypto payments.

It hasn't been officially launched yet. I'm eagerly waiting for it 👀

Oh, I missed that then. I'm excited to try it out.

Have you tried it if so, how did you get started with your initial deposit? I assume you already had some Monero, but what if you didn't already have any how would you get it? I'm based in the EU and don't have easy access to a Bitcoin ATM, so how would you go about getting some?.

I haven't tried Haveno yet, but LocalMonero had an option called "Cash by mail". It's exactly what it sounds like: You mail cash to a Monero seller, and get your XMR in exchange. This is perfectly legal in the EU, it only might be an issue in the US, since mailing cash is technically not allowed by the postal service. Seems like Haveno also has this option: https://haveno.exchange/faq/#how-can-i-exchange-monero-for-fiat-without-involving-banks

I don't know about the payment method, but I've had pretty good luck with Hetzner's auction servers. I'm currently running an Intel Core i7-8700, 14TB HDD Space, and 128GB RAM. for about $42 US. I run Swizzin for ruTorrent, JellyFin, and NaviDrive. Even run a game server manager called AMP outside Swizzin to spin up Minecraft, Palworld, or almost any Steam game with a dedicated server. Have the occasional lag issue with the game servers, but works fairly well most of the time.
