Gandi is not awful for managing domains (although they had issues with DNS management for years) but Gandi is a no-no-everything-constantly-on-fire for everything else, notably VPS and networking stacks
Try njalla, a privacy focused domain provider. It was founded by Peter Sunde, one of the original creators of The Pirate Bay. You can pay with crypto currencies and they even have a .onion domain of their website, so you can reach them over Tor.
They buy the domain themselves, and let you pay with Dogecoins -- possibly a good deal for the next Pirate Bay, but not what I would use for general domain registration. There is a good chance one day they will go down and take your (their!) domain with them.
From their website:

We're not actually a domain name registration service, we're a customer to these.

When you buy a domain in our system, we're actually purchasing it for ourselves. We will be the actual owners of the domain.
