This repository provides a detailed, step-by-step guide for users looking to top up their OpenAI API billing using a Depay wallet and a virtual Mastercard. It targets users who need to access OpenAI's services but face geographical restrictions or prefer a specific payment method. The guide aims to simplify the often complex process of international payments for AI services.

How It Works

The guide outlines a process involving obtaining a virtual Mastercard via the Depay wallet application. This involves registering with Depay, potentially undergoing KYC verification, and then funding the Depay account with USDT (TRC20). The USDT is then converted to USD and transferred to the virtual Mastercard. Finally, this Mastercard is used to set up billing within the OpenAI account, with a crucial emphasis on matching the billing address and IP location to a US region.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Prerequisites: A VPN set to a US location (Hong Kong and Taiwan are explicitly stated as not working), a Depay wallet account, and USDT for funding.
• Setup: Follow the detailed image-guided steps in the README. The process involves app downloads, account creation, virtual card application, USDT transfer, currency conversion, and OpenAI billing setup.
• Resources: Requires a smartphone for app usage and a stable internet connection.
