Actually i've been trying to get verified, but the process seems to require a webcam and i don't have one. I tried using the camera on my phone but the verification system doesn't recognize it and insists on a webcam. I've heard this complaint from many people and i hope Polo will hear us and do something about it. How hard can it be to allow taking ID pictures with a phone cam?
Yeah, this is a real problem. I have several PCs with built-in webcams and none of them worked with Coinbase's verification system. Built-in webcams have incredibly low quality, so it's usually necessary to use the mobile app with a smartphone camera. It's almost insulting that Poloniex can't seem to implement this.
simply log in once on another laptop with webcam until you take a photo of you. then log off, clear cookies and log back in your normal computer
I wouldn't log in on any computer that I didn't strongly trust. Keyloggers are everywhere these days. I would recommend buying a high-definition webcam off Amazon for like $50 instead.
