I finally got around to trying out Circle today. Circle is supposed to be a dead simple Bitcoin wallet and money transfer service. I created an account and tried to add my bank account and credit card to deposit money into the system as Bitcoin.
I had to give a lot of personal information. And I had to take a photo of my drivers license. And then I had to take a selfie. But Circle said they needed time to review the information. This is a bad idea. A helpful feature showed me how to receive Bitcoin and so I copied the wallet address and sent myself a Bitcoin from another wallet. I thought, hey, I can still use the service while they figure out my banking situation. The Bitcoin transfer went through and was confirmed in the blockchain.
But over at Circle I showed no pending transactions and no confirmed transactions…for hours. No messages that my account was suspended, or why fraud prevention would require them to accept a bitcoin transfer to the address they supplied me but not to tell me about it, even as pending. Then things got weird. When I logged into the mobile app remember, review circle bitcoin company I had a confirmed Bitcoin transaction I saw this:.
No sign of the Bitcoin received, either pending or confirmed. But also no suggestion review circle bitcoin company the account is suspended. But what about that Bitcoin I transferred to the account? Where is that Bitcoin? Meanwhile my friend Nik Cubrilovic tried to send me Bitcoin through Circle and had his own terrible experience, which you can see here.
But it was certainly an awful user experience, and an unnecessary one. So I go to dinner. So I do that, and make the purchase. And then I get this:. Visa has now shut down the credit card I used with Circle. Reblogged this on M2wa2. Wish I could just get on silk road and buy a fake one for the fuckers.
Your experience is common, not rare. I got no answer about why funding limits were so low and how it could be raised coinbase has easy rules. This use of Circle is not allowed, as you need a money transmitter license for such activities. We can no longer offer you service. This is untrue I did no such thingand incorrect no license needed to sell bitcoins p2p. I emailed them repeatedly to ask them why they were accusing me of this, but got no reply. So my money is stuck there with no recourse.
Circle is awful, have sent them verification pics three times and my account is still not operational. When i went back in a week review circle bitcoin company transfer it out, my account had been locked and all banking info removed. They tell me that anyone over the age of 13 can receive and transfer funds…. They have no answers and are scamming everyone.
On the other hand, Coinbase…. I use it all the time and never review circle bitcoin company hiccup. I agree they have texted me 25 SMS verification codes. I think their SMS server is overloaded.
Thank you soo much. I just wanted to try circle to buy bitcoins and I sow your post, you save my money. I have been tried Virvox many times, and it is expensive, but it works every time. Does enyone know some other solution. Michael, I was recently doing some PR for a Tech firm who have raised 35million of funding to develop aps. They had launched an ap…. Anyway it was so bad. Everything about it was wrong and strange and just wrong. Circle works very hard and we should be grateful for it.
The US is such an annoyance with anything like this so Circle has many regulatory guidelines it must adhere to. We should be a little more patient as they provide a nice service and do so for FREE. They make their money by other means, such as partnering with merchants.
This means they have a high customer to review circle bitcoin company ratio. They have to be very careful with raising limits because if they allow a money launderer to use their system they could risk losing the ability to transfer funds through ACH.
I have been using circle with no problems for a couple months then suddenly i got an email saying that they are federally regulated and dont support any form of gambling.
That was weird because i found them advertised on a gambling site who had a link directly from this casino! Thank God i review circle bitcoin company just withdrawn the last in the account! BitCoin is an useful option for the International travellers. Nice to know the different view points. Maybe my time is coming but so far, so good.
I dunno…seems like a great service to me. This is review circle bitcoin company experience: I am very new to bitcoin and still learning but I already had several experiences good and bad I would like to share. One of my first experience and with no idea how to purchase or where, I found this website called Circle.
The purchase experience was ok, a little long but I guess since I was a first time user. I finally received my bitcoins on the 4th business day and got on email telling me to please cash them out. I was a little confused since I just recently purchased them. I wrote to review circle bitcoin company and received information that they wanted to verify my account. To review circle bitcoin company this is becoming suspicious!
They review circle bitcoin company bitcoins but they also make you unwilling sell your bitcoins. I guess they can be called the first Bitcoin Dictatorship! After a couple of days I received and email saying my account has been closed, and go wonder…. Please be aware of this company and there narcissism!
Do not let your money get stolen here. I will be posting email proof and could send to you directly if needed. Be aware of these Scam Artist. They are the first Bitcoin Dictatorship. My experience with Circle was horrible.
Come to find out it was because it is a business card. To me not being in the financial sector a debit card is a debit card.
They are horrible at review circle bitcoin company. You make request or submit things on their website and it seems to just disappear with no follow-up on their side. Customer server has a very condescending tone my experience with 3 different individuals about 2 different issues. They quit supporting bitcoin but never sent a notice to me. I am an IT Director so I can see the email server logs to search for anything submitted from anyone with a circle.
I have no email showing that it was sent. Reblogged this on Afro Futurism. You are review circle bitcoin company using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Twitter account. You are commenting using your Facebook account. Notify me of new review circle bitcoin company via email. When I logged into the mobile app remember, after I had a confirmed Bitcoin transaction I saw this: So I logged in from my laptop.
And I see this: And then I get this: Overall, I rate Circle zero stars. February 18, at
