So story of my life....
I signed up for a coinbase account only to get rejected due to regulations of where I reside, in HAWAII. so theres the note that says it all. This does not limit our BITCOIN TRANSACTIONS, just as long you bank with someone outside of Hawaii, more so banks in the Mainland that you can connect with other #Bitcoin services with. 
Sorry Hawaii, no coinbase for you = (
That sucks.
yeah tell me about...smh
These regulations are a drag.I have found three peer to peer platforms that conform with Hawaii rules. I bought bitcoin on them as a test And all three work fine Hawaiibitcoin.org has all the info.
