Are you from the US and can't easily purchase crypto? Use SimpleSwap.io!

Despite our efforts to integrate a new system within our buy/sell widget, we encountered prohibitive onboarding fees (like really crazy high fees). As a result, we have decided not to proceed with this integration of the buy crypto feature for US members.

However, we have identified an alternative solution to facilitate cryptocurrency purchases for our US-based members. We have added a link to SimpleSwap.io on our /crypto page, which is now accessible to members in the United States, excluding those in New York and Hawaii due to state-wide regulations on cryptocurrencies.

For members residing in New York and Hawaii, we regret to inform you that the state-wide ban on cryptocurrencies remains in effect. We recommend exploring alternative methods or considering using VPN services to access cryptocurrency trading platforms.

We appreciate your understanding and are committed to continually exploring options to enhance the services available to our community.

NYC is a state of mind. I cannot help here; it’s your legislators. Vote them out.

I live in Upstate. We are controlled by the voters in NYC. Most New Yorkers vote the same way every single election.

I think it’s hysterical. Governor of NYC just gave a speech saying how it’s unfair. Literally yelped it was so funny.

That makes sense now $700 daily limit :joy: I thought they just had :cut_of_meat: against me lately

Without KYC. It’s pretty much a world wide standard now in all the “civilized” countries.

Anyone having trouble using simpleswap? It worked in past but it’s not working anymore. I’m in US. Maybe my bank caught on

Yeah just signed up, and got verified, but just tried testing buying $50 worth and now they’re asking me to send photos of my bank cards - is that normal?

They can randomly verify people, yes. However, most users buy without a problem.
