I am trying to buy BTC through coinbase, but it says your region is not supported for buying. I checked on coinbase's website it says the United States supports instant buy of BTC. I was doing some research and it said to upload a picture of your drivers license and then this feature will be enabled on your account.
First I was wondering if this is a valid method for getting BTC, I feel like uploading a picture of my drivers licnse for ordering BTC for this isn't something I want to do, althought these BTC are just going to my clearnet wallet, then to a tumbler then electrum wallet, still feels not right.
Second if this is a valid method for getting BTC for DNM purchases, I was wondering if after uploading a drivers license anyone had success buying in the United States.
Also if coinbase is no longer a valid way to get BTC because of this in the USA could anyone recommend a better site tfor credit card/prepaid card -> BTC. Not sure if coinmama or some other sites are as "DNM friendly" as coinbase is /was.
P.S. this is a repost from a post I posted in DNMNoobs, but I got not replies on there so I was hoping maybe this would catch different eyes and maybe someone could help me.
Thanks.
What state are you in?
