Context:
<ul>
<li>I've been trying to purchase DOT directly through various decentralized exchanges and wallets, but have consistently faced issues when using an Indian bank (Nationalized) with Visa debit/credit cards. I'm looking for community advice on feasible options for Indian users.</li>
</ul>
Current Issues:
<ul>
<li>Payment failures when attempting to use Visa cards on SubWallet, Nova, Talisman, and Trust Wallet (including payment gateways like Transak &amp; Banxa).</li>
<li>Unable to complete transactions on most DEXs when using Indian payment methods.</li>
<li>Currently forced to use CEXs (currently swapping ETH to DOT on Coinbase), which I'd prefer to avoid,d High fees (sometimes reaching 2%) when I do manage to find a working method</li>
</ul>
Questions for the Community (any that can be answered)
<ul>
<li>Are there any DEXs that work reliably with Indian payment methods?</li>
<li>Has anyone successfully used SubWallet or Talisman with Indian banks?</li>
<li>Are there specific payment processors or bridges that work better for Indian users?</li>
<li>What workarounds have other Indian DOT holders found that don't involve CEXs?</li>
<li>Are there any reliable P2P options?</li>
</ul>
I'd appreciate any insights from fellow community members, especially those based in India who have found sustainable solutions. While I can tolerate some fees (even up to 2% which is the max charge I've seen), I'm primarily looking for a reliable decentralized method to acquire DOT directly.
This is my first discussion post, sorry if I broke any guidelines. Thanks in advance for your help!
