Upgrading to Epic using DOGE. - severos - May 8, 2017

I went to the upgrade page and found a message saying: "Due to your country of origin we will only accept Bitcoin for your payment." does that mean BTC only? or it's used as general placeholder for all crypto currencies payment??

Bitcoin only, you can only use doge for the award

Well if it says that then most likely you aren't able to use DOGE. Also, why not just go on polo and exchange it for some btc? Takes less than 30 minutes.

You can exchange your Doge to Bitcoin here: https://www.changer.com/exchange/dogecoin-to-bitcoin

Then purchase your upgrade. Good luck.

Check the upgrade page again, it says for Epic: $12 BTC, XMR, ETH, LTC, DOGE, DASH

What difference is that between BTC and DOGE or any other crypto? thought country limitations are for PP and reversable transaction?

As for the exchange part, I don't want to exchange due to high fees (exchange then withdraw), can buy using BTC directly, but was going to buy with left over DOGE coins...

Can an admin or someone who knows exactly if it's BTC only? and maybe explain why not accept other crypto currencies since they're basically same concept??

HF does accept Doge indeed, along with many other cryptocurrencies.

Here is what is stated in the Help Docs:

Quote:What payment methods are accepted?
We currently accept Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin, and Dash. We do not accept Paypal or credit cards.

I just tested it an opened a payment, i am able to pay with Dogecoin.

But it appears that you are not able to pay with Doge due to your country, it is on CoinPayments end then.

Use a third party to pay via Doge for your upgrade. I'm pretty sure you can find someone on HF that can do it for you.

Forgot to update this.

For anyone who stumbles with the same question, if it says BTC then it means crypto currencies (unless talking about BTC award), the payment is processed with Coinbase and you can pay using whatever crypto is listed in the upgrade page.

Ahh, fixed. That was old message when we also took Paypal.
