Bitcoin

Anyone using Bitcoin? If so, which wallet did you choose, and what bitcoin exchange did you use to fund the wallet? I tried a bit to get an account going but I couldn't ever get my credit cards to interface with the exchanges.
I must be getting old, technology is starting to get past me.

I tried one of those credit cards that you buy at Walmart or wherever, put money in and then use, that's how I got money on Ignition. But it was such a pain in the ass, and expensive with the fees, that I thought I'd try something else.
Goal is to get money on ACR so I can use a hud. Gobal Poker is great for what it is, but I'd like to try something else.
What a PITA. Thanks US Government.
@SliverOverlord I'm only referencing the above article, which was published Oct 16, 2017. I have absolutely no personal knowledge of the coinbase funding issue other than that. If you're successful, then perhaps I can skip a step using a Bitcoin wallet. I'm still waiting on my money to hit coinbase because my credit card wouldn't process the transaction.
Here's the article I'm referencing:
https://www.upswingpoker.com/bitcoin-poker-sites-casinos-benefits/?inf_contact_key=fc8f49d77fc8a80e64a173bde256b37bd15237240cd74f39658621461687324a
It took 7 days for the transfer from my bank account to hit Coinbase. When it did, I went to ACR to fund my account. The transaction was marked "pending" on my Coinbase screen for about 24 hours. Somewhere around 18 hours I opened a live chat with ACR about it. They said they do not advise using Coinbase because Coinbase is monitored by the US Govt and the IRS. They said transactions typically went through but were very slow.
After about 24 hours the transaction went through and all is well. Except maybe some clerk in the IRS office has my name on an index card right now :-|
I dunno if what ACR said is true, maybe Coinbase is just slow. Whatever, I've got $100 on ACR and no doubt I'll be making huuuuuuge withdraws soon :D
Pretty bad imo, you may not be able to withdraw and your coinbase maybe suspended.
Better use a medium like blockchain.
Do not go from Bank -> coinbase -> Poker site. Coinbase will ban you when pulling money back through coin base from poker site. You have to have Blockchain or similar site between Coinbase and poker site. There are many warnings out there, so beware.
