Hello and welcome. If you want to use any of the popular exchanges you will need to verify a mobile number, sadly. You have other options like using a P2P exchange (buy from people directly) but these are a lot less convenient and can be a pain for new users. I recommend signing up to bittylicious and verifying your number when possible, it is the most simple way. If that isn't a option I can go over setting up a P2P exchange with you. Alternatively you could find a BTC cash machine near your area that will let you deposit paper money for BTC. This method is a lot more expensive.

The site does a few subtle yet significant things to stay under the radar. No hard drugs being a big one. Even if authorities are aware, and I'm sure they are, there isn't much to go after or any urgency to do so. There are much bigger fish to fry, at least that's my take on it.

If you need anything just ask mate.
