This probably doesn't belong here, but I tried to add it to the SR Discussion with no luck.
I'm a total noob and am unsure of how best to proceed. I'm buying BitCoins from BitCoinExchange. They say that they get to orders within 24 hours. The time limit on SR Addresses is 12 hours. So I'm thinking I should send to MyBitCoin first and transfer from there into SR? Anyone who could help a noob out and ESPECIALLY help soothe his jitters would be greatly appreciated. There are so many hoops to jump through just to get the darn BitCoins and then in figuring out how to get them transferred around and in the right place.
Thanks

My opinion is that it is much better to have your own wallet, held on an encrypted USB stick. Send from bitcoinexchange to your own wallet, then from your wallet to SR.
Get your own wallet by downloading the bitcoin software and installing it onto an encrypted USB stick. Let it run overnight, and off you go.
