I am looking to place my 1st order with them soon. It would be nice to know.
Also how do I do things with them. I see how to but their stuff but I do I get it to Bitcoins?
-
lol cant understand you man. you highhhh? hahah :o
-
I used it to get my first coins, but I'd generally discourage using it.
You buy "SLL" (second life dollars) and convert them into BTC, paying fees through each exchange. I somehow ended up with 75% of the money I spent in Bitcoins.
My recommendation is to use a site like localbitcoins and find someone who will do a western union transfer or something like that. Virwox is "reputable" (you'll get your coins), but the fees are just silly.

I am almost always high on my pain meds. It would not hurt to reread my post thought!
-
never used virwox. the only thing it could be good for is buying very small amounts of btc for testing purposes because of the high fees
-
I just used them to buy .5 bitcoins. It took 2 days to verify, the fees are pretty high, but I got my coins.
-
Local bitcoins is good :)
-
Virwox is utter and complete SHIT.
The fees are WAY to high.I'm saying ridiculous high.
No fractals so you will not get the perfect amount you want either.
Go with localbitcoins.
To me there is nothing better.
-
I used them last night to buy some bitcoins. Started out with 20 dollars and ended up with 17 in bitcoins. The fees are high am I am still waiting to see them post in my SR acct.
I would love to use localbitcoins but have not found one to work yet.
-
First two times I used them they were great, last time it took 14 days to get my coins!
The last time I used them was about 2 months ago, so maybe they have stepped their game up lately.
-
14 Days is crazy. I am coming up on 24 hours now and the site states up to 48.
They said something about a manual check. Anyone know what that is about?
