Interesting! That’s quite a work around. I just tried simpleswap.io that everyone’s recommended and it’s works great.
All I did was transfer some existing Etherium that I had on Coinbase via their platform (no sign up needed, just scan the QR code for the send address and then pop in your Hive address name - and boom, 7 minutes later on lands on your account.
Seems like a really good solution! With checking out of you can buy BTC or ETH somewhere with easy with fiat.
Good luck with your next go! Cheers for the comment mate
