I'm not aware of any Indian women using bitcoin. However, I think it would be actually really beneficial to society if they actually started to.
For example, if they need to send money overseas, then they could use bitcoin as an alternative to old banking methods like Western Union or Wire Transfer.
A lot of Indian males are already using bitcoin... So why not women?
You should read dashingriddler post again. According to unocoin statistics,20% of their users are women,remember this is the stats of just one exchange.
Yeah - as a part of verification, we call them over their mobile number. So we know that they are females and not just based on their name.
Do you call each one and verify there gender or what?lol usually companies verify mobile number through sms or automated call and other information through documents.What additional information do you get by hearing the voice besides their gender?
they often call and ask our detail to verify like if i submitted my pan card,aadhar card,bank detail;they will call and ask each adhar number, pan number, bank account detail, mobile number, name...etc(as required by exchange).
so while calling they can absolutely find that yonder are male or female.but normally their purpose is not to find the gendar.
But if someone can fake the documents,he can fake the voice too.I mean if I somehow get some girl's documents and I used them on unocoin,I would most probably ask some female friend or family member to answer their call
yes then they can but its not fault of exchange they got all what they need.
if someone have your all documents at least pan card,adhar card,photo,you bank statement they can easily take loan,buy sim card,verify himself on btc exchange behind your name.but how someone will get your documents without your permission? there are two way to have your documents to someone else-
1)he/she stolen your identity without your knowledge-if someone stolen your identity go for police and complain it.
2)you shared your identity to your relative/person's-believe me if you are sharing your all documents with someone you are RUINED person ever in this world
