@Runswick Make sure you have a profile pic too. ID and then a proof of residence. It can take over 5 days you should be good

Will the fundraise be open to US investors? The recent Factom raise wasn’t available to investors from the US fsr.

I asked Simon recently and this will be open to US investors.

Without current passport I am unable to provide ID. Those outside US, UK, Europe, Canada have to upload current passport ID

Oh well.

Oh that sucks… :frowning:

Wonder why we singled out Australia? [innocent face]

Bank WB21 takes about 40 seconds to verify ID and address. If they can do it why are others so slow.? Do these people not talk to each other? Another thing, I had an account on Spectrocoin for over 1 year and went to verify ID and addie so as to transfer fiat. No problems with verification of documents but they refused to complete verification because I had a “dodgy” IP address. I explained that in 21st Century we have access to VPN and that I could resubmit from Brazil, Hong Kong or UK if they wished. Blank wall refusal and no offer to attempt alternative or additional verification method. Yes, we know you are who you say you are and you are already a customer but because your IP at the time of asking for verification was Indonesian, we will not verify. So, to any of you who wish to get verification with a British outfit, be sure to use a UK IP address or face the consequences of dealing with some procedure constipated, unimaginative dolt who doesn’t yet realise he is about to be replaced by a bot.

It’s payback for the years on Neighbours, Home and Away and other dodgy soaps!

What can I say, we have nothing else to export, even if its garbage. While on holidays I was floored & shocked to find out that they are still making this garbage, just didn’t know there was so much garbage that could be created.

Oh well, I hold my head in shame with the other 90% of Australians who have never watch it. “Fast Forward” & “Full Frontal” comedy shows did some classic skits mocking the shows.

BTW even Australian passport people accept an expired passport for ID

What’s this about needing to provide an ID?

I see a function to enhance my identity or something, but from the exploring I’ve done, it doesn’t actually seem necessary to provide the ID to invest. Perhaps it’ll ask once I actually go through the process.

Ach cheers but it was very unnatural for me, I really prefer a “from the hip” approach myself :slight_smile:

Thats not good. Can you deactivate the link?

I am now the proud owner of 0.003% of MaidSafe :joy:

Not sure why the pitch opened early though? Maybe Nick or David can shed any light on that?

Really it’s bad that it’s still active… I’s unfair for all who are still waiting for their confirmation. @nicklambert @dirvine
whats going on?

Don’t worry - they’re not going to raise the full amount in the first week; it’s not a crypto crowdsale.

I say that confidently, and hope I’m right, as I’m awaiting verification!
