The first photo we will need is of the front of your State ID card. Please make sure there aren’t any glares or obstructions like thumb or finger in the photo. This makes it easier for photos to be accepted. Simply tap the ‘Take a Photo’ tab and your phone’s camera will prompt you to take a picture.

Should I send bitcoin, or any currency, to someone asking for it?
No. Unfortunately, there will always be examples of bad people taking advantage of good things. Given the nature of privacy that comes along with cryptocurrencies, scammers will do whatever it takes to trick people into sending funds to them, and with cryptocurrencies, it’s nearly impossible to identify someone solely from their wallet address.
When sending funds to anyone, always use your best judgment and never forget that if something sounds “too good to be true”, it most likely is.
If you wouldn’t feel comfortable sending an envelope of cash to a complete stranger’s P.O. Box, do NOT send Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency to them either. Once a you send cryptocurrency, you cannot stop, cancel, or reverse the transaction. Please have 100% confidence in the identity of any recipient you intend to transfer funds to.
What is bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a form of digital currency and is not actually a physical coin. The value of a bitcoin fluctuates, and you can purchase fractions of a bitcoin without having to purchase an entire bitcoin. Currently, bitcoins are primarily used for online purchases and transfers as they are more liquid than physical currency (with lower transaction costs). There are thousands of online retailers that accept bitcoin with the number growing daily. Bitcoin is “The Internet of Money.”
What is blockchain?
All cryptocurrency transactions are stored in a public ledger called the blockchain. It’s not maintained by any individual authority, but rather by a network of communicating nodes and miners running open-source software. Transactions are sent to this network using readily available software applications, such as wallet apps, and as transactions are verified, they get added to the blockchain, or ledger, and then forwarded to other nodes. The blockchain is a distributed database, meaning each network node verifies and stores its own copy of the blockchain.
