After reading of all the failed ID verification and 8$ losses my enthusiasm of going through the process has cooled down - I'm not a clueless kid but I have already experienced this kind of processes fail for technical reasons independent from my will. It is sufficient that the camera of your PC has not with the necessary resolution or that there is not enough light in the room and the process will fail.
A good Market perception in this surreal crypto-space is alas fundamental, by the way. I am sharing the perception that this is a weak point to this day. There's space for improvement.
Trying to understand what you mean by ID verification.
Byteball doesn't require an ID. No ID is requested. No camera is needed. So, picture quality is a mute point.
If you mean Transition bot (address linking (again, nothing to do with a camera)) then the process is simple. NO ID is needed. NO Camera. NO Picture.
Quote simply to link your address to get a part of the distribution, you follow the bot questions.
You tell it your byteball address. two clicks.
You can pay the address it says (small amount) OR tell it your address and sign the message (NO fee)
It's that simple.
If someone is having a camera to convert the address to qr code and then scan, etc, then that's added steps someone is doing that isn't needed.
The problem in that case has nothing to do with byteball and simply the end user making the process far more complicated than needed.
If someone is paying an address and the bot shows a zero balance, then it's because they had a change address their coins went to. This is a part of bitcoin, not byteball. People need to learn how bitcoin works and maybe just read a little more on byteball about what might have happened as to why byteball transition shows a balance that isn't expected. There is no way for byteball to know your wallet has the coins you own distributed throughout many addresses.
