CoinGate

I think I am losing my damn mind. Trying to make an order and have to buy with bitcoins. I have Elecrum wallet, and I like it, because it's easy. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut.... to buy the coins - not easy. It wasn't so bad first time. I had to scan and email them ID. Fine. I get it. Today they wanted me to do it again PLUSS take a selfie holding my credit card. It is NOT easy taking a selfie holding a card since your face has to show also. And it is supposed to be clear enough for them to see the name on my CC and some of the digits. They also wanted my ID card again, and they keep claiming it's the wrong exp date on it.  No,  I have eyes, and  all info I put in is correct. So now I used my passport, and finally got to send them the information they wanted. But if I have to go through this hassle every time, I will simply not buy from them again. I appreciate they want to make sure no one stole my stuff and all that, but could they keep record somehow. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. *Ripping my hair out* I use them because they are on Tram shops website. Figured I trust the Tram shop, so Coingate must be good. 

So........................... I want to keep using my electrum wallet. How can I more easily get BTC in my wallet? Heeeeeeeeeelp

They took the money from my account, so they do believe I am me enough to do that.

Worked out eventually. Passport did the trick. I have emailed them and asked if I have to go through this every time, because if that is the case I  will be looking for another place to by BTC that takes less time.

And yes, I have to go through that hassle every time they told me. Sigh. Need to find an easier way.
