I was a member here years ago, local BTC days. Never very tech savy, but never had problem with DNM's or with vendors I found off here. Now I can't even become a member because I CANNOT figure out how to send btc's anymore. Using coinbase, only possible to trnsfer to c.base wallet.... I work 50 hrs. a week and don't have time for this $#@%! I just want some good dissos which has proven over 25 years to be the only way to sustain from my nasty opiate addiction!:( Is zengo wallet for example the same BS?
 
Would start by watching Youtube videos and understand the basics.
Go from there and you will get the hang of it.

I've been..., imformation overload. I think certain companies like coinbase intentionally do that to keep you from using them exclusively.

Honestly the easiest way to use BTC is cashapp to be honest!
 
It looks like no matter the provider, it is a no go without some form of photo id along the way either. I heard that Exodus should do it, not thus.

It took me a bit to figure it out so i can just tell you how I did it. I bought bitcoin on Cashapp since I already had Cashapp. There are instructions on the internet on how to do that. I got the Blue Wallet app, which required no personal information-there are instructions for how to use that. Transfer the bitcoin you purchase in Cashapp to whatever wallet you have. Send $ from your wallet to the bitcoin address for the Vendor, that will give you a transaction code. It's not difficult, it's just different but once you do it the first time- it will seem easy next time. Hopefully that helped and made sense- if not, I also work 50 hours a week and am dead tired right now.
 
Is there a way to do this without having a mobile phone number?

Nowadays, pretty much every online exchange requires a mobile number in the first few steps when you sign up. Before 2FA became popular, you used to be able to sign up with just an email address.

If you live near one, some crypto ATM's that accept cash will generate a token or QR code to be entered on their website that will 'unlock' your funds allowing them to be sent directly to any private address that you type in. Usually, you would send them to a private wallet like Exodus or Electrum, first, as paying a vendor directly using this method is not recommended. I've never done it this way, but I'm sure it has been discussed here and elsewhere in great detail.
 
Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, I don't live near one. I'm trying Exodus, which wasn't all too complicated (hmmm) but going further it looks like I can't actually buy without using Sardine. They ask for my number, but don't call with a code. I guess they want a mobile number then. Who knows. Like the OP, I am getting rather sick of this, and have a really hateful cat on my lap as well. Looks like a no go for me :(

Just went through the same BS with Sardine last night. Transaction cancelled! Totally irritating hey? Going to try the cash app route. Sad that harmless researchers have to fall in the same category as criminals.
 
Cash app is probably out of the question. I get blocked every time I try to open the site by 'cloudflare'.
 
So after spending a half hour on the phone with coinbase support, I was finally able to send btc here to become a member. Turns out I was just doing a few things wrong/had to zoom out.... One hurdle complete!
 
Good for you👍 I finally had success myself using Exodus, avoiding Sardine due to the phone issue. Exodus's help staff was amazing, and managed to get me through my first BTC transaction. (I swear I don't work for them, and bet they are glad of that too...)

coinbase charges me like less than a dollar to buy $1000 in btc, I don't see how that's bad. you must be referring to the basic front-end.

Yea i shouldn't have said coinbase it's been several years since I've used them. I just find strike to be easier and cheaper than cashapp at least. The fees on strike are from .9% down to .3% depending on the amount and volume you buy. It's very user friendly and you can send it to another wallet for free using their flexible delivery option. But it can take 24 hours. You can set up automatic bill pay from btc that is free too I believe. It is just really user friendly and straight forward to me. I think cashapp charges around 2% to buy btc if I remember correctly, but then again it all depends on the amount. I guess I am referring more toward the basic front-end.

  2. P @ psychedpsych: Have good day people, and I hate texting messages lol
  3. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  4. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  8. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  9. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  10. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  11. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state

  14. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?

  16. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  17. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  18. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  19. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though
