Hey @seablue, thanks for your comment! We have just started accepting VISA and Mastercard for any listed alt coins on http://Changelly.com. As we are at the beginning of process, rates USD->STEEM can be slightly high, to prevent the high demand and cover chargebacks and other fraud payments, while we are tuning the process. Further rates will go down. But anyway, I think it's a nice option to buy STEEM/SBD instantly with credit/debit card, isn't it? And you can always buy/sell STEEM for BTC on Changelly for the most profitable rates on the market.

yeah. this is exactly what im looking for in a site to give my credit card number too.
Thanks for your investigation. But It's just a domain name privacy protector company whoisguard.com - again spammers and hacker attacks. Changelly HQ located in Prague, Czech Republic. Our acquiring partner based in London, you can find it on our Visa/Mastercard checkout page.
You can check feedback from our users on the largest cryptocurrency forum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1435275.0
Another point, you can check our STEEM wallet history and find, that many users have successfully exchanged crypto via our service since the launching of steemit. It's absolutely transparent:

That will give you more trust, I hope!
Awesome to see you guys doing direct customer engagement here.
Agreed, I like to see things like also. The comments in this thread are great learning nuggets as usual.
Thank you! We are happy to hear feedback directly from our customers. It's always help us to become better.
I would love to get some hands on more steem, but no way am I paying a 37% premium, + the fact I live in Canada premium ON TOP of that. That is like a 60% fee premium.
But I signed up for an account a few mins ago.
Sorry, but what do you mean for 60% fee premium? http://Changelly.com doesn't take any additional fees for card processing. Just enter the amount in USD you want spend for STEEM and follow the buying process. I hope it will be pretty clear for you. You can pay for STEEM with Canadian debit/credit card. CAD will be converted automatically to USD by your bank. In case of any troubles feel free to ask for help.
Sure. For some the convenience would be the important feature. For others it's getting the cheapest rate. It depends on what people are looking for. It not for me. I'm a poor bastard who has to watch every penny I spend.

I just noticed a bug in your USD conversion rate estimator. Entering a number lower than your USD minimum gives the wrong exchange rate. For instance, it tells me that if I spend 1 USD the exchange rate for STEEM is 1 USD = 84.275 STEEM. It doesn't allow me to make the transaction, but it did get my hopes up :)
Ouch, thanks! We've got it. Will pass the issue to our technical team to fix it asap! Very important bug.
Got a bug bounty system? :)
Ohh, not yet, sorry. We should implement it, thanks! =)
fixed! you can check! =)
