I am actively trying to add funds to my BAT wallet to reward the websites I use. I have tried several times over the last 6 months to verify my identity through Uphold, and it just doesn’t work. No error messages, I just get stuck at some point in the process with no way to continue. The text on Uphold.com makes it sound like I might need to verify my identity just to auto-contribute. However, that is a non-issue now, as I’ve reached the point where I will not trust Uphold with money for any reason. None of their software works correctly for me, and there are so many reports of fraud.
I know this is something that can’t be changed quickly, but I just want to submit this as one data point. There is at least one person trying to inject money and support the BAT system who can’t & won’t because of the terrible partnership with Uphold.
@eljuno Most recently I tried at uphold.com using Brave. However, after seeing what a bad reputation Uphold has, I don’t feel comfortable trusting them with my identity or money, even if there is a workaround.
I have the same concerns. I’m apparently about to lose BAT I’ve earned because I’m not set up with Uphold. I tried to create an account, but they require a copy of my ID, and I refuse to provide such personal information.
That would be a nice feature, to have Coinbase available to use instead of Uphold. I don’t even see a function to simply withdraw my BAT to another wallet on Uphold.
