Both Ethereum and Tether are popular for token purchases, but the best choice depends on fees and network support. Here’s how to pick the fastest, cheapest option today — with a quick checkout flow you can repeat every time.
Step-by-Step Checkout (Works for BTC, ETH, LTC, USDT, XMR)
- Open the token checkout and choose Crypto.
- Check which networks your processor offers: ETH mainnet, an L2 (if supported), or stablecoins on TRON / other low‑fee chains.
- For speed: use a low‑congestion network (L2, LTC, or USDT on TRON if available).
- For price stability: use USDT/USDC to avoid price swings during confirmation.
- Send the exact amount, wait for confirmation, and screenshot the receipt/TXID.
- Credit appears automatically; tip strategically in your target rooms.
Works globally. Availability varies by region and processor. Always screenshot your confirmation page in case support needs a TXID.

Crypto Options Explained
Bitcoin (BTC)
Best overall coverage and on-ramp availability. Confirmation times depend on fees; pay a standard fee for ~10–30 min settlement on most processors.
Ethereum (ETH)
Widely supported via stablecoins and direct ETH. Watch gas at peak times or use L2 bridges supported by your processor.
Litecoin (LTC)
Lower fees and fast confirmations. Great for smaller buys when BTC fees spike.
Tether (USDT) & USD Coin (USDC)
Stablecoins help you avoid price swings. Choose networks with low fees (e.g., Tron for USDT per your processor’s options).
Monero (XMR)
Privacy-first. Often routed through gift-card or virtual-card intermediaries. Expect extra KYC checks on exchanges that sell XMR.
FAQ
Is ETH or USDT cheaper right now?
It changes with network demand. Many buyers use USDT on low‑fee networks (e.g., TRON) when gas is high, then switch back to ETH/L2 when fees drop.
Will stablecoins protect me from price swings?
Yes — USDT/USDC are pegged to the dollar, so your purchase value is stable during checkout.
What if I want maximum privacy?
Consider Monero (XMR) or a gift‑card → virtual Visa flow. For mainstream convenience, BTC/LTC with a privacy‑respecting exchange works well.
