So recently i've been researching about a bitcoin credit card so i can do some shopping online using my hard-earned steem.What i wanted was a virtual thing that didn't cost 70$ to make and didn't have 10$ fee on transaction or 5$ inactivity fee.
I've tried CryptoPay and SpectroCoin
Out of topic- When you make a google search with "CryptoPay" , SpectroCoin website is the second result.Why ? This is why :
Smart,eh?
Back to topic
Ok so let's take by example CriptoPay
Before you can order a card, you need to verify your identity; Fair enough.
- First you will need to send them a photo with your national id/passport/ in high quality
I've sent them a photo with my Huawei P9( takes great focus pictures by the way) - Rejected
I've sent them a high quality photo with my nikon d3300 - Rejected
Finally i've sent them a scan with my national id at 300 dpi - rejected
Sent a scan with 1200 dpi( took 20 minutes to scan with my old cpu)- passed!
- Second, you need to send them a selfie with your national id, focused and in great quality, plus if you are a bearded man, you have to shave.That's right, you have to trim that hair.Trim it !
That's no way that is gonna happen !
After 4-5 times my selfie was rejected , i gave up.
- Third , you have to provide a
proof-of-adress.
How can i do that if i live in an apartment where i pay rent and only have a hand written contract?
Phone bills? Don't have that.
Watter and electricity bills?Not on my name!
Want a liver? Sure, why not!
I know , security is a must.But come on, how can a Nikon d3300 20 MB quality photo doesn't meet you standards?
I'll just gave up for now
As always, have a great day
