Title: Bitinstant substitutes!?!?
Post by: GoodTimeCharlie on July 16, 2013, 01:29 am
What are your recommendations?
I keep seeing localbitcoins.com mentioned but it doesn't make me feel particularly efficient at first glance.

I'd love your feedback.

Localbitcoins is ok. I started there and made a successful transaction so, I'll vouch for it. The key is to do your research though... Try to either find a seller who will sell locally (if you live in a good area... Always be safe) or, look at the other payment options. Some take bank deposits (not very anonymous... but usually reliable) some take money orders, some even take electronics. CampBX is another decent one too I suppose. Another option is going on the Bitcoin OTC IRC chat and finding a person. either way you have options.

I know I've asked about this multiple times, but is Bitstamp a reliable substitute?

I am also looking for a reliable substitute! The only thing I've used is bitinstant, not quite sure what to use now.

CampBX looks legit.

Camp BX is legit. I've used it the last few months w/o hassle. I'ts way better that Mt.Gox prices and you don't have to jump through all those hoops.
