Hi mike. It was my first time buying bitcoins with localbitcoins. I just sent my photo and my ID to the seller and he approved it immediately. I did not verify my ID on the website itself. I think Singapore law is pretty lax with cryptocurrency.
I am going to buy some more bitcoins, only a few hundred dollars with the same person if he is present. Upvoted!
The point is them tracking us - yes other places have slow verification processes that anger people
thanks
