Title: Trucoin Opens MasterCard, Visa Bitcoin Buying Services in US
Post by: Djo on July 17, 2014, 03:21:13 AM
Bitcoin brokerage provider Trucoin has announced the introduction of its first service offerings to customers in Florida, Massachusetts, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, South Carolina and Texas.

Consumers in these eight US states can now receive instant access to the platform, which boasts social login integration for Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+ as well as previously advertised MasterCard and Visa payment options.

Speaking to CoinDesk, Trucoin president and cofounder Chris Brunner, suggested that company officials have been seeking to provide services to the US market for roughly three years, but that legal compliance requirements were a consistent roadblock.
How much better will the world become if this actually happens and drags some hesitant forces into Bitcoin`s world.

I used trucoin.com (http://trucoin.com) just today, I bought about $98 and change worth of BTC for $100 (price movement) + $5 as fee + $3 to get set up (see remark just below).

It took a jump through a hoop or three (DEBIT card in my case, my billing address <> to mailing address, scan & send photo ID), but once I got everything done, the service worked fine.  Less than 24 hours from when I saw their announcement until I got my BTC.

Highly recommended (I have very few in my area who I can buy BTC for cash from).

Mike took care of my issues.  He told me that they were very busy today!


Disclosure: I have never worked with an exchange (beginner, don't know how) nor am I affiliated with trucoin in any way.

90% of the time, activation takes less than two minutes.  It sounds like you were subject to the worst-case scenario, though, which is manual review.  I'm glad our team got your account manually approved before too long, and we look forward to serving you.

Please drop us a note if we can ever assist you.

Has anyone had success with Trucoin in California?
