@gpedro said in Asset Issuers - start here:
I would have to pay almost 30€ (Correspond to 45k Burst right now) to send a simple letter to USA...
that does make sense... skype identity swap maybe? where the 2 meet and show off their ids live? and the asset issuer holds up his ID to the webcam so that @haitch can take a snaphot. I guess that would be the low budget version :)
Meh, i'll let you kids figure this out. Just let me know what you concluded so i know what to do :)
-
@gpedro Seriously? 30 Euros to send a letter? It's just over US$1 to send a letter to Europe.
If the cost is seriously that high, then yes - I'll accept a video call with you showing
a) my letter to you
b) your IDAnd then you send me a copy of that ID via email.
As for additional security measure - I'll be handwriting the labels - no one can fake my scrawl ............. :)

I never understood why they fuck us over so hard here in Europe, but true story. that's roughly what it costs to send from us to you.
@haitch as far as i'm concerned, i can do either of the 2 versions. you chose
-
@nameless That is just seriously fucked up. Video works for me if they are going to screw you that bad. Guess I need to get Skype configured again ........
-
@haitch That is a ridiculous price of a letter from the UK to USA or NZ is just over £1 GBP.

@RichBC lol thanks for that. I just had a second look. Sending a letter to the US from where i am costs indeed but 2 bucks.
It's sending entire packages that costs a ton. My bad @haitch
so we're back to square one :) . what do you prefer?
-
BUT -this just gave me an idea. Why not both? because here's the deal :
I can give you any address i want, and i just pick up the letter from there. That's the first problem. Then, if i'm decent enough in photoshop i can put any face and whatever i want on that ''photocopy''
So in the end, i think a combination of both should be done really. Fucked up world we live in.
i just love to complicate things because why the hell not?

@haitch I would pay around 1-1,5€ to ship a letter to somewhere inside Portugal xD
Yeah that costs are right... if i ship a small box to US it will never cost me under 50-60€, and even inside UE the shipping costs are pretty high believe me LOL
The shipping companies in here only work good for companies and even that never work like your systems in there... Sometimes i see free shipping in US stores over the internet, in here the minimum deal that a company can get is around 5€ (for domestic shipments of boxes) and even that they have to have a pretty big shipments volume :(
For singular persons there are no deals in here, even for someone that has an online store... The only way you can get a deal with shipments here is if you open a company and go look for a deal with shipment companies...
You guys have this services pretty low because you have a giant internal market that is runned as global and that creates a lot of volume so the shipments costs could be pretty low... I wish we had those prices around here LOL
Glad you can work around this issue... As soon as i get 5k Burst available i will verify my ID for sure?!

@gpedro hey i believe you on the price. Some countries in the EU actually have those prices. I used to live in Denmark a few years back and that's why i related to the price right away. It was that expensive back there as well. So i can confirm, some of our countries have these ridiculous prices.
-
@nameless I don't think a Video call is going to make this any more secure. Yes you have a face but the identity itself can still be Photoshoped.
Hopefully along with normal due diligence the postal hoop will be enough to put of most scammers?

OK here's a thought :-) Supposing Haitch sends a small payment to your verified Paypal Account and you then send that payment back along with your address details?

@haitch I know right? But actually i made a search right now and there is a old company that was buyed by some Chineses guys and that company is making only letter shipments and they have reasonable prices so basically i can send to you by letter with no problem but all the other companies have pretty big costs...
The thing of this company is that they started working in Spain too so they do the external shipments of Portugal and Spain together and i guess that already give them enough volume to make reasonable prices!
So basically you tell how you want things and i will do it, although i agree with @nameless about do both instead of just the letter thing xP

why should we trust in who asks us data? this is the right law?

It can be done, provided you have one of those :D
I never used paypal in my life. Welcome to the clusterfuck of the international world and its problems

it's a 2 way streak. you trust him with your ID and he trusts you with his...
and it's not a law. you don't have to do it if you don't want to :)
some of us just feel the need to make new friends i guess
-
@nameless Wow could not survive without Paypal although it would save me a lot of money. :-)

@RichBC i never used paypal cause i wear a tin foil hat for a hobby. but i get it that it's super useful to some. i never needed to use it really...
i trade stock and forex for a living so it's always been bank transfers, and buying dildos and stuff you can get on ebay i always found local. On the other hand there are business that thrive on paypal, and i think you're one of them. So i get it :)

That i don't agree simply because i never used Paypal just because i don't want to send them my info... They are a big company with connections with the Finances, and because i never put my Bank account in the internet... Every buy i make in the internet i use a virtual card different for each buy provided from any ATM around here...
EDIT: That or BTC hahaha

Spam is everywhere, this could have been thinking, I think. setup issue of high fees (100,000 Burst), and there will be many. so far all issuers paid the fee, the right to use the system. someone receives a fee ... which is eroding, it can not fix papers.
