all i can find is the self-host ones, what i'm looking for is the centralized like pastebin.com but open source. thanks in advance.
I'd recommend https://privatebin.info, https://toptal.com/developers/hastebin, or https://rentry.co. All are open source and awesome replacement options. PrivateBin is a software package you download, while the other two are webapps.
+1 for PrivateBin, which has a public instance at https://privatebin.io/.
Dumb question buy why do people use crypto instead of other methods?
I did find some bins that have people hosting them publicly already, but due to the nature of this community they are probably going to advertise self-hosting as an option.
- https://privatebin.info/ is used as the pastebin alternative in the Libredirect extension. This page has a directory of instances.

- https://bin.bloerg.net/
- https://lesma.eu/:help
- https://www.verybin.com/
- https://kpaste.infomaniak.com/
- https://paste.sh/
- https://paste.myst.rs/
- https://paste.js.org/These bins below are more like Github Gist replacements:
- https://demo.opengist.io/
- https://drift.maxleiter.com/This last option isn't quite open source, it only has a bug tracker on Gitlab and an open API for plugin development:

edit: formatting for clarityThere's no "open source" centralized website. You can't know what the server is effectively running unless you have access to it. To me this makes no sense.
