Donation questions

[Dr-Octagon]

Okay guys and girls. Just figured out PayPal is out for donating. My year is up in august and I need some guidance with bitcoins. I can never figure out the best place to buy them or who to use. I just downloaded a couple wallets but I need some guidance. Thanks

I was dead set against btc when it started  (set in my ways, didn't like change)

It was simple. I used a gift card to fund.

Took literally less than 2 hours. I used the links provided here

What is the minimum that you have to purchase? Yes I know it's shameful I'm a mod and know nothing, but I am trying to learn.

A member just asked me if they could pay for 2 years at a time which led me to believe that they had more bitcoin than they knew what to do with. 

Thanks

Hey guys and gals, been gone a while due to a medical problem, came back and saw my sponsorship expired, see I can't use Paypal. Found a link on here to a place to buy bitcoins, but it appears I have to upload a copy of my drivers license? No way am I uploading my driver's license to anyone, especially after being the victim of ID theft this year.

Is there no other way to sponsor? I REALLY want to send you money, but the DL upload is an absolute no go. I'm not really comfortable even with a CC on these sites, but the DL crosses the line.

Been having trouble donating. Any suggestions?

I an not sure but I lost my donation status? My last donation was February 2nd 2017. I thought the donation was good for a year? @PTFC @2earls can you help an old friend out.

I am in the same boat as well, I reached out to @PTFC and @2earls as well as @Admin, I should have checked here first, my last donation was may 9, 2017...hopefully this will all be fixed soon, I should have read here first before messaging them, sorry all, hopefully our sponsorships will be back soon  all the best everyone

We are looking into it folks, hopefully get it sorted out asap. Perhaps forum update has done something.

Hi Admin, 

I just sent my donation, but cannot PM the transaction # (don't have the right to PM yet), how do you recommend I proceed?

Hi @eclairxx, you could use the contact us link on the homepage, or alternatively I can PM you and I'll pass it on. Though you are showing as an opal sponsor at the moment.

I am having a similar issue as I don't think it's been a year since last donation but if it has I'm trying to figure out a way to donate...I have read the app options but the identity thing does concern me as well as I've been defrauded multiple times...look forward to hearing as I hopped on to post review and can't access the section. Thank you all for your help and hard work!

Bitcoin is not available in my area. I spent hours on the phone and emailing, trying to figure it all out, and now I'm concerned because I gave someone my photo ID and personal info, and in the end they were unable to help me.

I want to donate more. Also, my last donation was more than a year ago, so I am locked out of sponsor-only areas.  

I'd be happpy to send $100 cash to an admin's PO Box, or use a cash transfer app to transfer money to a forum member or admin who could then donate for me ( I'd even pay that person a $25 fee). 

There must be some way I can again contribute to this excellent forum!

Please, someone ... help me.

 

[Babs Baboose]

Please, someone ... help me.

Problem solved, thanks to someone who generously offered to help via personal PayPal. 

I do love this forum and its endlessly helpful participants!

I wouldn't recommend this from anyone other than myself or 2earls of course. @Babs Baboose!

It took me several days just to figure out how to use coin base.  Any other similar service recommenced I can transfer my bitcoin and eth to?

You should always have another wallet that you transfer your coins from coinbase to, and then pay from that. You weren't paying with the coinbase wallet were you?

Unfortunately yes, this is my first experience with bit coin, and I am learning the hard way, my mistake.  I am definitely not up to speed on this.

I know coinbase are particularly picky about where bitcoin go with other members comments. Get another wallet, multibit, or electrum, for instance I have multibit. Use another service to purchase bitcoin. When you purchase, transfer them from that services wallet to your own private wallet and then from there to vendor, it's only another copy/paste. Don't worry, it's a minor setback. Unless they have frozen anything you have? I purchase from an exchange, bitbargaindotcodotuk.

 

[Tarsier]

OK, thanks for that  info, no, its not frozen,  just demanding I transfer all funds to another account and then will be closed.  Live and learn... Definitely will try to follow your example as I have no idea what else to do.   thanks again for the help....
