We're working on a chatbot that provides a walkthrough of how to create a MEW wallet, download Metamask, and other essentials so that anyone can use our airdrops platform.

Of course, you can't collect airdrops with an empty wallet.

Recommending MEW and Metamask seem like no-brainers.

What should we recommend to absolute beginners when it comes purchasing Eth?

Coinbase seems like the safest choice, but the need for bank numbers or a photo ID could dissuade someone who has never received a token before.

On the other hand, nearly everything out there is a scam.

What method/exchange/company would you suggest to make the ethereum buying process as easy as possible while minimizing the risk of scams?
