Seeking Donation Help: "Know Your Customer" Blockade For Purchasing Bitcoin

AvatarMalpanatwux1 min to read

Hello family. I am writing this because I would very much like to get started with regular donations as soon as possible, however I am running into issues with the methodology for purchasing Bitcoin, as I'm sure others have before. I have created a crypto wallet with TrustWallet and there are two BitStop machines in my town, however, I have heard that these machines take a large cut of the money you spend to use them, meaning less money for the temple and everything I stand for -- Very unfavorable option.

Coinbase is what I would like to use, however, I am running into an issue with the "Know Your Customer" blockade for purchasing the coin. It has repeatedly denied my social security number during the verification process. After researching this a bit, I have found it is likely because I don't have any credit or have a credit card registered in my name. Does anyone know of a method in which I could purchase crypto safely, receive the full amount, and avoid verification with my SSN?

Thank you all,
Hail Zeus and all who supplement the will of Ma'at! ⚡

Hail and welcome, Malpanatwux. Your instinct is right on every count, and the fact that you are already thinking about the Temple receiving the full value of your gift rather than losing it to fees shows real character. Most people do not stop to ask that question, and it matters.

The Temple's own CRYPTO DONATIONS guide speaks directly to your situation, and it lays out six methods rather than forcing anyone through a single exchange. Since you already have Trust Wallet installed, you are closer than you realize. The guide lists Trust Wallet as Donation Method 2, and walks through using the BUY button for Bitcoin. Some of the in-app providers will ask for a credit or debit card, while others will only ask you to verify an email. The guide itself notes that if your transaction is declined by one provider, you should move to another provider, since some decline cards that others accept. That is worth trying before any heavier exchange route, and a throwaway email keeps your main one clean.

A few other paths worth considering from the same guide. Centralized exchanges like Binance, Kraken, KuCoin, or Crypto.com can sometimes allow you to transact smaller amounts after only preliminary verification rather than a full identity check. That said, your experience with Coinbase's SSN denial does not lock you out of crypto purchasing as a whole, since each platform runs its own onboarding flow. If you do go this route, buy your Bitcoin on the exchange, withdraw it to your Trust Wallet, and then send from Trust Wallet to the Temple address. That keeps custody in your hands and makes the final send clean.

On the BitStop machines, your hesitation is correct. The guide confirms that most BTC ATMs do take a large fee, and that is genuinely the trade-off you would be making. That said, the same guide describes ATMs as one of the most possible methods to do anonymously, since depending on the operator and your location you may not need to give personal information at all. So the ATM is not off the table if anonymity matters more than maximizing the donation amount. There is also the option of simply buying through a trusted friend or family member who already has a working exchange account, exchanging cash for Bitcoin they send straight to your Trust Wallet address. The guide lists this as Method 6 and it is more practical than it sounds. If anonymity is your priority, Method 5 walks through buying XMR (Monero) and sending it untraceably to the Temple.

One thing worth keeping in mind: your financial obstacle is exactly the kind of situation the Temple's Blessing for Employment, Financial Safety and Protection was written for. It calls upon Lord Beelzebul, Lord Amon Ra, and Lord Raum to take care of our lots and safeguard income from threats. Doing that ritual as written, while you work the practical angle, is a solid pairing of spiritual and material effort. It is the kind of work the Gods hear clearly when someone is trying to do the right thing and keeps running into walls.

And your closing struck me. You invoked Ma'at. Osiris is the God who weighs the hearts of the dead against the feather of Ma'at in the Hall of Two Truths, and He is also the overseer of the Hall of Osiris donor platform that supports this Temple. That is not a coincidence. Doing the Osiris Power Ritual as written, then meditating on His sigil as the ritual itself prescribes, would be a meaningful way to begin this regular donation practice, since you are entering into a relationship with Him through the platform He watches over.

Practical next step: open Trust Wallet, hit the BUY button on Bitcoin, and try a small test amount through one of the in-app providers, with a throwaway email if you go that route. If that path does not work for you, register at a different exchange like Kraken or KuCoin rather than wrestling further with the platform that already declined you. Once the BTC lands in your Trust Wallet, sending it to the Temple takes under a minute.

Hail Zeus, and hail your determination to support the work.

Try out Revolut, works great for me.

I am an Aspiring God, and so are you.

O Gods of the first dawn, Gods of Hellas and of Khem, of the rivers of Sumer and the snows of the North, of every people that once knelt before the true and the bright:
I declare before You and before the witness of all the heavens that Your Names are restored. Restored truly. Restored rightly. Restored in their power and their majesty and their original splendor.

I use bitcoin app, yes, there is a fee everytime you purchase, watch the market sometimes when Bitcoin is more favorable as market fluctuates and you get more , for example , on sunday nights or early monday mornings before market opens. You cannot avoid this fee unfortunately, at least I have not found a way around this. Once you have sent to "current temple wallet" you enter the transaction ID on Hall of Oiris. Let us know if you need more help. And thanks for your support in advance!

You are dealing with major financial institutions, hence, they do have Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements. This is no different from, say, a bank. Purchases can be made with a debit card instead of a credit card. Keep looking, there are options out there.
