Sorry about this, i just tried posting this to Darknetnoobs twice but an autobot mod deleted it and said i was sourcing. So ill post here.
I just want to cover all my bases before getting started using DNM. So, ive got and account set up on Evolution....Check Ive got Kleopatra PGP. Im still figuring out exactly how to use it though.... Check My problem is with Bitcoins.... Ive set up an account on Localbitcoins. How does everyone like to buy on there? I was thinking of using the bank transfer option. So how does this work? I transfer money to someone. I take a picture of the receipt and send the photo to said person. Then what? How do they send me coins? Do i have to set up a wallet on another site and have the person send the coins to that address? Say i do that, do i then send those coins to my Evolution wallet and make my purchase? Not to sound like and idiot but i just want to cover all my bases before i spend $1200 on bitcoins.
LBC is great and haven't had issues. It's usually not bank transfers but cash deposit. They almost always want cash and not check or transfer. Basically you find a LBC vendor, they give you instructions which is the bank account number and usually they want you to photograph the deposit receipt. Coins are held in LBC escrow. After the pic is uploaded and they verify the deposit they'll release the coins. Some vendors wait until evening to clear but I always look at average time to release and pick one that releases quick. Ones I've used will release coins in a few minutes after verification.
The coins if in escrow will be sent directly to your LBC wallet. From there I'd recommend an intermediate wallet like electrum to send coin. Then from there to the market. Tumbling is up to you. People have differing views on that.
