Germanicus said:After an agonizingly long time of research and learning the very basics of blockchain technology, I've decided to get into crypto. So just after Christmas I started signing up for exchanges... and I am stuck. In particular I've gone the basic bitch route of signing up for Coinbase but I'm also trying to sort out GDAX. GDAX is not accepting my ID. Now I've taken some very clear pictures of my ID with both a digital camera and with my webcam, but GDAX isn't having it. I've also noticed that Kraken and Binance are very slow in processing my information. Is it something to do with extra traffic because finally people are jumping onto the crypto bandwagon all at once plus it being the Christmas/New Year holiday? Or are they usually this fucking frustrating and slow?

For me, Binance was pretty much painless to get on. What is the slowdown?

Getting onto it was ok. Getting verified is the problem. GDAX won't accept my pictures and Kraken and Binance have apparently accepted my documentation for consideration, but I'm still not verified. After several days.

Gas said:How do you back up your 2FA device? I changed phones recently and I had to rescan all the QR codes from the exchanges. Luckily my old phone still worked so I could get back into my accounts. I'm worried that if my phone gets stolen/lost, I won't be able to access my accounts.
Is it too late in invest in bitcoin given the fact that its value has skyrocketed?
Also, apart from bitcoin, is there any other good crypto one could invest in as a newbie?

Probably not.

Yeah there's a bunch. Buy some ETH, maybe? Lots of people like ETH.

If I buy ETH on coinbase now, can I realistically expect to be able to convert some of it to Ripple and Monero in the near future? I'm a newb and still somewhat confused about how to actually purchase Ripple and Monero, the two cryptos that actually interest me the most.

Of course you can.
I just bought a little bit the other day and the whole thing from initial buy to downloading new coins to my wallet took <1hr.
