Make buying crypto throigh Proton Wallet easier
It is great that Proton provides some options to purchase Bitcoin directly into Proton Wallet, but the user experience to do this is a nightmare if you use Proton tools to do it. I use Proton VPN and Proton Pass email aliases. I registered on Ramp using a Proton Pass email alias and somehow got my account suspended. I appealed to Ramp because I thought it might be a KYC issue, but a human being rejected my appeal and permanently banned my account. This happened in my very first attempt to purchase any Bitcoin through Ramp. The support agent could not tell me why I was suspended or banned; it was confidential and I was blocked from asking further questions. Banxa worked once for me, but recently when I try to purchase Bitcoin, it always has a server error and tells me try again later. Which I do, unsuccessfully. Lately I am resorting to buying crypto on other exchanges where I already transact, and then send the crypto from the other exchange into my Proton Wallet. This incurs more fees for me to transfer the Bitcoin around, instead of buying it in one place and storing it immediately in my Proton Wallet. The one time Banxa worked for me, it was very smooth. But now I simply cannot purchase Bitcoin through Proton Wallet because the partner exchanges make it incredibly difficult to do so with Proton tools.
I am not sure what the right answer is here, but Proton Wallet needs to make the crypto onboarding experience better if it is going to have any chance with non-tech people. I subscribe to a Proton plan for my family, who are not tech people. They have adopted other Proton tools and services seamlessly, but I would be intimidated to introduce them to Proton Wallet because of this difficulty in purchasing crypto through Proton Wallet.

En explorant la version francophone de la plateforme, j’ai voulu analyser la partie consacrée aux machines à sous. Dès le départ, j’ai été agréablement surpris par la rapidité d’affichage et la clarté de la mise en page. Les icônes sont modernes, bien dessinées, et la navigation se fait sans effort. Chaque section est identifiée par une image et un titre précis, ce qui rend la recherche intuitive. Le site garde la même fluidité sur mobile, sans perte de qualité ni de performance. Les animations sont bien calibrées, rendant la navigation agréable et immersive sans être lourde. Après quelques minutes, j’ai compris pourquoi https://winlion.com/fr-ca/casino/slots est souvent cité comme exemple de design fluide et d’organisation claire — un vrai travail d’ergonomie et de cohérence visuelle.

Últimamente he estado buscando formas de desconectar después de largas jornadas de trabajo, y encontré el https://spin-mama.es. Me llamó la atención que ofrecen bonos especiales para jugadores en España, lo que hace que las partidas sean más emocionantes. Probé algunos de sus juegos de tragaperras y fue una manera divertida de relajarme. La experiencia fue simple, directa y me permitió olvidarme del estrés diario por un rato.

I stumbled upon https://safegoldamne.net/ Safegoldamne Trading while looking for safer ways to manage my investments. At first, I wasn’t sure if it would be any different from other platforms I had tried, but I decided to give it a shot. Right away, I noticed how easy it was to navigate and understand the key features. Nothing felt overwhelming or unnecessarily complicated. Using it gave me a sense of control and confidence I hadn’t felt in a while, making it easier to focus on my strategy without stress

Love the idea! Making it easier to buy crypto through Proton Wallet would be a huge win for the community. Would be awesome to see TokenPumper integrate features that streamline the process even more—definitely a move in the right direction

Exactly the same here. First try with ramp from within the proton wallet with proton alias and proton VPN leads to a deleting of my ramp account after a few minutes. No explanation about the reason, very frustating. Second try with Banxa worked immediately. I really would think when corperating with partners, Proton should inform them that Proton customers will do that stuff via there own VPN and eventually aliases. Thats a shame.

I seem to be unable to buy crypto through either of Proton Wallet's platform partners -- both claim my cards are ineligible for crypto purchases. PW may have to partner with more platforms to be viable for all potential users.
