I have degoogled but I find myself missing Google Wallet/Pay despite it being the worst spyware there is. I would like to have both my bus pass and card available on my phone in case I ever get stranded with out either. I’ve found this app but when trying to emulate a MiFare Classic, it emulated a MiFare Plus and when attempting to emulate a Visa or MasterCard, it just errors out and says to please insert the card.

I presume I need some sort of sniffer hardware like a Proxmark3 to get as much data off the cards as possible, though I’m not really sure how to get the data from there to an emulator on my phone with the intention of out and about.

Please only reply with genuine answers. Any shit about ToS or poor security etc. will be ignored.

    The thing is if you degoogled for privacy, then I would say stop paying with any and all card as these are heavily tracked by anybody and everybody. Instead, opt for paying cash

      This is what the last sentence in my post was about; I shouldn’t have to include it. Please try to refrain from doing it in future as it perpetuates the toxicity that Reddit had (and still has) a reputation for. Its fine to pass over a post if you don’t know the answer. It is also fine to pass over a post if you would never find an answer useful.

      That being said, since COVID lockdowns were lifted, a hell of a lot of places have become card only, making it necessary to carry one. Some people may have the privileges to be able to use cash whenever they want, but not everyone can. There are places where disability benefits disallow you from taking out the money you receive as cash; I think this is some sort of war on drugs thing. Another reason is that women’s clothing is quite infamously lacking pockets.

        Nah, just a war on your privacy, really.

        women’s clothing is quite infamously lacking pockets.

        Hence women’s purses.

        You know what else there’s a lot of on Reddit as well? Douche nozzles that think that an online discussion forum is subjected to their whims.

        What you want is not possible. There. You can go away now because this is the only valid response here. If you find out how to do it you’ll be rich though so, good luck!👍
