Hi, I'm Funkytown and I'm totally new here, and everywhere!

I'm having great difficulty getting Bitcoin to work. I have Coinmama, and Electrum, but both my bank debit card and a seperate bank's credit card keeps refusing the transaction. I really need to buy bitcoin to purchase things.

@funkytown Hi welcome to the Forums. Coinmama has started using "Simplex" for verification if you contact there support they tell you to contact simplex support since Simplex does everything now not Coinmama.

The reason your transaction is being rejected like mine was except for my first Bitcoin Purchase. Is most likely due to what I was told that you need your Card to have something called "3DSecure" and I had to Call my Bank and get them to have my card get 3Dsecure. When I asked why did my first Bitcoin purchase go through and work and I was told that 90% of the time it won't work without your Card having 3DSecure what ever that means.

Coinmama Support will refer you to Simplex when contacting there support for some odd reason and then just explain your problem like you did here and they should tell you what to do I hope this helps.

Thank you, I will try contacting my bank.

In the meantime, I'm wondering if there is an easier more discreet way to buy Bitcoin...

 
The only reliable and non shady ways of buying Bitcoin these days requires photo identification in some way.

That being said someone else did post a long while back about shakepay.com. They Posted that a couple years ago now so I'm not so sure if they are any better than coinmama or not.

I'm interested in a place with lower fees than Coinmama taking a fee plus Simplex takes a Fee now too. Together both there fees are fairly large per Bitcoin purchase.

I agree! :)

 
I bought Bitcoin using Cashapp and transferred it to my Exodus wallet. Zero issues with it and only took maybe 10 minutes overall until I sent a donation here to DBG. That was my first Btc transaction ever LOL

Hi Love your name ! I am still trying to do bitcoin myself . There are threads that are helpful . I would go to the site search and type in bitcoin and it should pull up any thread with info :) 

 
@funkytown Hey there, welcome to our little forum. You'll find lots of friendly people here as well as a ton of information on various topics, including the aforementioned Bitcoin.

I still need to figure Bitcoin out myself but lots of people tell me it's pretty simple once you give it a go.

Again, welcome to the site!

  10. 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.
  11. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  12. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  13. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  14. 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.
  15. 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 -
  16. 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.
  17. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  18. 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
