GateHub Disabled Wallet

[lakastama]

can anyone help me? i've been waiting for 3 weeks now for GateHub's verification to no avail... my wallet is still disabled and says I need 20 XRP to use it... it's like chicken and egg... i can't buy XRP because i don't have a gateway verified but i need xrp to use my wallet for deposit... is it like by invitation only? that you need somebody on the inside to get you in? nyahahaha... 

please help...

If I recall XRP as a digital asset doesn't need much verification on Gatehub, just phone number. You can buy XRP and then send to the wallet

i did provide my number and everything else including proof of residence... but still no verification/review...

where else can i buy XRP without setting up another account on another GateHub like service?

You can always activate your wallet with bithomp:

https://bithomp.com/activation/

but it won't help you if you want to make a bank usd/eur deposit, they'll have to verify your documents.

I don't know if there is any place where you can make a bank deposit / credit card without having to trought identity verification first..

I think Bitstamp is really good or Kraken, you can also buy bitcoin on Coinbase.

Easiest way to get XRP into your wallet is to buy some other asset off of Coinbase using a credit card and convert using Changelly or something similar. 

 

I don't believe Gatehub requires verification to trade crypto, just fiat. So if you want to activate your wallet you'll want to buy a bit of BTC or ETH or whatever and convert to XRP and send straight to your gatehub account.

Hope it works for you!

You might see if you can send the BTC or ETH or whatever you bought and send it straight to your gatehub account and exchange it there. I can't speak to whether Changelly or Gatehub is cheaper. 

Good luck!

Did you ever get verified?

yup... after like almost a month... but you still need to do a lot of wire transfer hoops to use your bank account... not sure it was worth the wait...

They use the same bank as bitstamp. Wires should work as long as you chose a large bank that doesn't need to utilize a correspondent bank.

I also want to buy some XRP. I already have some BTC on Coinbase but I want to send those to my Ripple Wallet on Gatehub. However my Wallet at Gatehub is disabled. First I need at least 20XRP. Why does it take so long te activated my gatehub account?

Simply convert your BTC to XRP using Shapeshift by entering your Gatehub wallet public address as a recipient (start with a r...) it will auto activate your wallet with the deposit.
