Where would you expect it to be the easiest?
-
That is why I just tried Coinbase.
-
I opened an account.
It was an interplay between e-mails and flip phone messages.
Surprisingly, they wanted an unusual amount of personal information.
No PO boxes, a street address only. Your occupation and employer.
-
They wanted to know where to get the purchase money from.
-
I tried the corporate checking account, but they had a problem.
Corporate debit card, they had a problem.
Reluctantly, my personal checking account, and that went through.
-
I only recently realized that one could purchase a fractional Bitcoin.
I’ll purchase $100 worth.
Actually they take out $2, and you get $98 worth, so that is how that works.
-
So I created an account and logged back in.
-
I pressed ‘Purchase Bitcoin’.
Shockingly they said that they wanted to see my driver’s license.
I held it up to the web-cam.
Then they wanted to see the back of my driver’s license.
Then they wanted to see my smiling face in the web-cam.
-
After all that trouble, they said that the images were not good enough.
I tried many times, and I even used my scanner.
-
I thought that the virtue of Bitcoin was that it was supposed to be private.
-
This was, by far, the most invasive interaction I have had in my lifetime.
At least they didn’t require a cavity search.
-
I guess it's back to square one.

I had the same crazy problem with coinbase.

Had to use maximum screen display of 1680 x 1050
to get web cam identification to work.

Man are they difficult to get registered to.

And later on they were just as difficult to use.

I dumped them and went to www.coinsquare.com

and are easy as eating pie as the saying goes.

Thanks for trying to help.

It seems that Coinsquare makes it difficult for people outside of Canada.
They rejected my cell phone as, as it does not have a Canadian prefix.
-
It would be possible to get a cell phone with a Canadian prefix.
But that is a separate project.

#############################################
It is really quite horrible that there are not Canadian services to help US citizens.
-
I could be a cottage industry.
There are such services in Nevada and Wyoming to help out of state residences.
-
Perhaps one could post something on a Canadian College billboard.
A C$100 reward for each of the following.
-
A Canadian e-mail address, a Canadian cell phone number, a Bitcoin account, an address, a utility bill.
-
C$500 for a Canadian Bank account, brokerage account.
-
When the US citizen changes the password to his own, end of transaction.

It seems that most Bitcoin services assume that you have a smart phone with appropriate apps.
So many services are of no use to me.
-
I only have a cable land-line [Ooma] and a 3G flip phone that has the ability to receive text.
My flip phone may become obsolete [dysfunctional] with new 5G.
I hope I can keep my current flip phone.
#################################################################
In my youth, the vast majority of people didn’t have telephones.
There was usually a pay phone on a telephone pole, or in a phone booth, not far away.
-
And even then, having a party line was normal.
If I had a lot of calls, I would find a hotel phone booth where it was quit.
-
I finally broke down and got a personal telephone when I was about 40 years old.
It took me several years longer before I got, with reservations, a color TV set.
-
The American Automobile club [AAA] was featuring a flip phone for to get emergency service on the highway. It has as special AAA button. I got one.
Actually one could dial numbers regular numbers with it, but it stayed in the car.
Even today, its primary use is to order takeout food to pick up on the way home.
############################################################
I cannot feature why anyone needs a smart-phone.
They seem to be very popular with streetwalkers and teenagers.

I have a ThinkPad laptop.
Why does any non-streetwalker need anything else?
A teenager with a personal phone was unheard of in my day.
##########################################
Anyway, I would like to purchase $100 of Bitcoin on general principals.
I never thought it would be like pulling hens’ teeth.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for putting up with my rant.

you can easily make yourself a canadian email at www.yahoo.ca . Or, at
least I think you can. I can easily make a US one at www.yahoo.com .

However I think you are out of luck, (though see bottom of my reply).
Especially if one of us Canadians gave you all you requested, we could
probably do a successful identity theft of your coinsquare account. And
you not being a Canadian would be hard pressed to win the argument.

Although linking your bank account would throw up red alerts you aren’t a
Canadian and could be barred right there.

When I go to www.coinsquare.com

or

coinsquare.com

or

https://coinsquare.com

I get the same page that says for all 3
"the world's home for digital currency"

But I guess they aren't or making it very hard for foreigners to register.

This shows it is Canadian, that can be mailed to, but too slow
to make inquiries that way.
https://coinsquare.com/contact

And this is where you ask questions on internet to them, and
should get replies relatively quickly on same day or maybe
next day. Assuming they have customer service on weekends
which they should.
(No, I found their hours and they don't work on weekends, ie
their customer service part of them. And says take 1 to 3 days
to reply. )

This was posted in may or so 2018, about its relaunch
https://bitreview.com/exchange/coinsquare

Further down the above link, it says (and remember it is
of a 2018 news item abouit it) :

“Might Look Elsewhere (me- though in canada)
if:

You are price conscious, or need to trade different crypto (me- they trade about 11 )

Coinsquare is moving on up, but at the moment lower volumes mean pricing will not be as favorable.
Withdrawals are also a bit pricey. Additionally, the only CAD market is bitcoin. Quadriga is a better
choice on these fronts, check out our Canadian exchange comparison for more details.

Bottom Line

Well done to Coinsquare for a successful relaunch. It seems like the liquidity volumes have been
somewhat hurt whilst the market was waiting for an upgrade. Coinsquare is a far ways behind
Quadriga in btc/cad, and we are a bit surprised they dropped the other CAD markets. However,
Coinsquare has pulled ahead of Kraken by a good amount, and with the new product is poised to
provide Canadians with a real alternative to Quadriga.”

Me- It seems to be more for Canadians than foreigners. However maybe if you had a
Proper phone it wouldn’t be. But I doubt it. LOL

Sorry about that !!!!!!!
