Title: Dwolla requires photo ID? Post by: Daily Anarchist on December 09, 2011, 03:52:51 PM I finally created a Dwolla account so that I may purchase some Bitcoin through Mt. Gox. I gave them my SSN already and now they want a photo ID? Lame! Paypal doesn't even demand a photo ID.
How else can I get some Bitcoins with my credit card? Have others had good results getting Bitcoin OTC? Can one get Bitcoin OTC with credit card? What about Crypto X change?

They're new. I've never used them. So I can't comment on there credibility. Title: Re: Dwolla requires photo ID? Post by: RodeoX on December 09, 2011, 04:06:07 PM Hmm... They have never asked me for an ID. I don't know why they would need one. If you fund your account from a bank, why would they care about your identity? Are you trading at a high volume, like over 10k/ month.

One word, chargebacks, that's not very hard to figure out.Title: Re: Dwolla requires photo ID? Post by: SistaS0uljah on December 10, 2011, 02:43:16 AM Dwolla did not require me to give them my SSN or photo id, just a verified bank account. But I'm not all that trustful of Dwolla anyway. I'm thinking about closing my Dwolla account and your post makes me confident I've made the right decision. Sounds like a shady operation, and the bitcoin community doesn't need any more of those.
Title: Re: Dwolla requires photo ID? Post by: Daily Anarchist on December 10, 2011, 06:11:16 AM I just created the account yesterday. I haven't done any trading. Just the simple act of creating an account requires photo ID? This whole stuff was what made me like Bitcoin in the first place. The fact that we're still this dependent on the system is bad news.

I've never used them. So I can't comment on there credibility. I also really like physical bitcoins and own quite a few. |
