#249I have regular coinbase account been using, tried several times signing in on the gdax side(try to save on these fees)it goes thru the verification process again and says it cant verify me.
wtf coinbase regular customer 2 year, it will not even let me get to the page to upload id. ive been living same address for 20 years. Ive emailed several times but no responses.
Any ideas guys?
I seem to remember they do the verify thing all over again. It was well worth the effort.Comment -

#252I've never been a big fan of Coinbase. It's US based and currently being sued by the IRS for its client records, which makes privacy minded investors like me nervous. The Flash Crash also hurt a lot of folks I like with late triggering Stop orders, so CB's definitely on most trader's sh!t lists right now.
All platforms are experiencing explosive growth, so support time's lengthened, but opening accounts and trading with little or no verification is pretty easy at Bitfinex, Poloniex and Kraken, if you wanted to diversify your platforms (a good idea anyway; with all this growth we're overdue for a new hack -- there's even a pool on which site gets hit next at Reddit; my money's on Poloniex).Comment -

Fiat's a pain in the a$$ compared to moving crypto around, but if you've got a little time -- say, a week -- and don't mind a normal level of ID verification -- your passport or state ID -- then I'd recommend Bitstamp.net. After you send them your ID and verify your bank account by receiving two small deposits, you can send them a wire in dollars. Wires take about 3 business days to clear.
Bitstamp's the only fully EU regulated exchange on earth, which means your money -- fiat or coins -- is completely safe, but for the same regulated reason they're a bit boring: no margin trading or going short, and their offering of alt-coins is thin: only Ripple (XRP) and Litecoin (LTC). Of course, once you've changed your fiat to BTC, you can send that BTC anywhere in an hour, if more adventurous trading is your cup of tea.Comment -

#258Right on... Bitstamp is very good but they also want a lot of info aLa CB.(comes at the cash out stage)
I'm afraid the new rules point to heavy verification. One just has to succumb. GDAX #1, free daily ACH withdraws and low to no commissions + being a US company AND Bitstamp, safe, licensed, and busy.(negs are high commission and rather high transfer fees)Comment -

Also, there's one (IMHO) massive drawback to trading at Coinbase/GDAX: they're currently being sued by the IRS for their client records in an ongoing litigation that not enough people here seem to know about: https://www.forbes.com/forbes/welcom...www.google.nl/
The IRS gaining access to my trading records would cause me, um, anxiety. I closed my CB account about 10 seconds after the IRS filed suit.Comment -

#260ETH volume will continue to be higher than BTC this week as everyone buys ETH and then immediately exchanges it for EOS tokens. It will be interesting to see how things shake out next Monday when Bitfinex allows EOS trading after phase 1 of the ICO is complete. EOS literally draining the pool right now.Comment -

#262All good points, Roy. I didn't know Bitstamp had beefed up its verification, but on the upside, if it's only during cash out, there's other, easier ways to get your money with little or no verification at all, a V I S A debit card from Bitpay.com being my favorite.

I just assume everything is tracked and I'll pay taxes accordingly.
Just started using the Bitpay card. It's great but they took a SS number when I applied.
I would forget the tax angle and go for super low commissions and very very safe exchanges.Comment -

#266There's a difference with capital gains and having $10,000 or more in an exchange, just because you have saved 50,000 in a bit coin exchange you don't have to pay taxes on that and less it was some sort of profit and the exchange sends to government a W-2 or whatever form it's calledComment -

The only real way to defer reporting a btc gain, or not reporting at all, is to not use the US dollar. If you do use the US dollar then the only way to keep the IRS in the dark is to leave it in the exchange. Once it moves via wire there is a trace right to your doorstep.
Even a routine audit would require you to present all your bank and financial account records. An ole boy could wind up with multiple criminal indictments trying to hide btc activity. I doubt any of us are smart enough to pull it off.Comment -

#280Chico I'll tell you about Bitstamp. It took me 2 weeks to be approved. Then I moved coins from Coinbase, sold them and requested a wire. They asked for more info which I provided. Another 2 weeks. Had one last info request on a large wire. I was doing arb trading so a lot of money was moving. After that request I've never had any more contact...super smooth.
On Bitfinex... not a joint for the faint of heart. They stopped all wires a few months ago due to US corresponding banks refusing to facilitate the wires. That's very serious. But I don't think they are in any trouble. Not long ago they raised $50m from Bnktothefuture.
Don't forget about GDAX. Much better than either option above.Comment
