1st off I'm upset that BitSimple - https://bitsimple.com/ won't take me in as I am a California resident in which @this point in time they DO NOT deal with California. Why, I have no idea but I was hoping to join them as I heard a family member(bitcointalk) here is apart of BitSimple. So, I went with the next best option in my opinion which was 0r is BitStamp - https://www.bitstamp.net. I'm trying to get pass the Verification process but it's telling me "proof of residency document must be a scanned image of a PAPER document." How do I go about sending them this if I DO NOT have a scanner? I would appreciate anyone here who has an account with BitStamp and who is experienced with this process, to please inform me of what's needed 0r on how I can work around this issue I'm experiencing. I'm looking for a quick response as I am trying to make MAJOR moves. Thanks in advance! |

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

most stores that offer photocopying services normally also offer to put the scan onto a memory stick too.. |

By helping you to 'work around this issue' you are basically asking people to potentially help you commit fraud. This is a financial matter so you need to do this by the book.
I would not advise anyone to help you forge a document.
Go to a photocopy shop or library and they will likely have a scanner.

WHOA! How did 'forge' come into the equation  I was simply asking if someone with experience with BitStamp was able to handle this business in a different manner meaning if BitStamp allowed an alternative way of going about it. RELAX!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

No probs, your request is just a bit vague. I'm sure you are not a master criminal.  |

But since I'm here BitStamp also ask for a valid government issued ID, acceptable high quality images of documents such as national ID card (both sides) driver's license (both sides). So this process is just uploading a picture(s) oppose to a scan paper document(s), correct? I know these ?uestions may sound dumb but, I like to make extra sure. Especially dealing with BTCitcoin as I take this business VERY seriously! |

I've had to deal with legal issues from the State of CA, and I don't even have a business presence there. So I suspect their reasons would be similar. What's wrong with Coinbase? |

Take a picture of the required documents with your smart phone and upload them. The approval happens rather quickly. If the photos are not of a high enough quality, I'm sure BitStamp.net will tell you, and then you can go to step 2.

Sign up for Coinbase and use Btc-e.com. Not sure why as a US citizen you would need to pump fiat into Bitstamp if you have coinbase. |

Thats not the issue, I had the exact same thing happen on another service, or maybe even it was BitStamp... can't remember
The problem was that I scanned the document and the software cropped the edges, and the invoice was actually spanking clean and uncressed. So they thought it could be a PDF export, and not a document scan. It did look too perfect
Scan it "badly", slightly tilted, showing the edges, crumble the paper a bit so its obvious its paper and not digital export PDF. In the end what I did was actually take a picture on my phone (You could see bit of the table on the edges) and saved it as PDF and it went through fine.

GREAT TIP! I will use this for future reference if decided to go the BTCitcoin client route. I just purchased 4rm LocalBitCoins.com |
