An Exodus wallet was what I tried to set up just now, and there is no option anywhere to create a wallet? The instructions someone posted here were followed, YouTube was consulted, and every video shows create a wallet as step one after downloading — yet the option never appears for me. Any help would be great! Thanks

I'm not sure it ever stated outright that it was making a wallet on my behalf..... as long as you complete the identity check—uploading your ID and all that—you ought to be fine. Nothing in my interface is labeled wallet; it simply displays my balance.... for example 92.00 btc, 147 usdt

Alright, so maybe I'm fine after all. On Exodus, I can launch the app and view all the various coins along with their rates. But the moment I tried to purchase any, it pushed me over to MoonPay, which turned into a whole separate headache. My Bio-scan wouldn't go through — I attempted it 20-30 times and every single time it told me verification failed. Probably just something on my end.

I don't know much about this stuff, but this place has some real tech experts. Let them have a day to reply.... wish I could've been more help. I'll BUMP the thread. Maybe head outside, or get better lighting with someone else holding the camera.

Appreciate it — I've got MoonPay support on the line right now, and their answer is that somebody will reach out to me inside 24hrs... LOL, so tonight there's no buying.

Annoying, sure—but those goods aren't going anywhere. They'll still be around tomorrow, next week, and next month....
 
Well... this month I've pulled in 50 bucks in BTC while all the nonsense keeps holding me back from getting anything done. Suppose I should declare it...😂

Relax, someone will tip off the authorities.
 
This week I gave moonpay a shot. Out of nowhere it wanted to know my yearly earnings, then demanded either a paystub or a bank statement be uploaded. I'd used moonpay in the past without any problems, but that's where I stop.

Coinbase also requested bank account history as proof of income, and I complied. It went through, same day, but then came the transfer out 🤷‍♂️

Based on what I know about Exodus and apps like it... (anyone with deeper knowledge, feel free to correct me)

Opening Exodus generates a wallet for you right away. Strictly speaking, a wallet isn't the thing you send or receive crypto through. Think of a wallet more as a box or storage facility for...

Addresses! Those are what actually let you send and receive crypto. To view the address tied to whichever coin you want, tap that coin's icon inside your portfolio (exodus wallet) and pick receive. Whatever address pops up belongs to you.

You can configure them so they rotate, generating a fresh one whenever you want extra privacy, but keep in mind that although it's tough, linking your accounts is nowhere near impossible.

About that 12 word seed phrase... Head into Settings, and I believe it lives somewhere under the backup options.

Now for purchasing Crypto... If BTC is all you're dealing with, Moonpay strikes me as terrible. It's wildly inconsistent and I can't stand it. My approach is to just complete KYC on Cashapp, Venmo, and similar, then transfer it over to your Exodus address. Fair warning: bigger amounts through CashApp get "suspicious BTC addresses" flagged, and they'll reject the 2nd, 3rd or 4th attempt, but as I mentioned, you can make your wallet refresh its address however often you like.

Final point: never use Cashapp, Venmo, etc to move crypto to a vendor. Odds are it's already blocked since some fool tried it that way before, but with Cashapp, Venmo etc, the crypto isn't really in your possession. It's in theirs. That makes flagging vendors simpler, but if the app you're using turns against you... they can simply freeze you, and whether your crypto ever surfaces again is anyone's guess. As far as I know Exodus is still self-custody, so fewer headaches there.

Hope this helps.

I believe my problems are sorted out now. Later tonight I plan to pay for an order, and I hope it goes smoothly. Appreciate the assistance!
