Title: Buying Bitcoins with prepaid cards?
Post by: moelarrycurly on June 27, 2012, 02:45 am
Hello, I'm a newbie @  Silk Road. I've been "window" shopping and reading through the forum, learning all the ends and outs. My question is dealing with the initial purchase of Bitcoins. I was wondering if it was possible to purchase them using a pre-paid card, like the ones you can buy @ Walmart and Walgreens and like stores (in US). That would seem the most anonymous way?

i personally do not know how you would go about obtaining btc with the prepaid cards, but honestly, if you are going out to get a prepaid it seems like an extra unnecessary step. Might as well just use bitinstant.
open an account with mt.gox do not use your email, do not go there on tor, infact use a friends computer for this. when you are at mt gox website look in the "funding options" select bitinstant in the drop down and it will tell you exactly what to do.
basically all you will need to do is go to a bank with cash. no need for an account.
this is also really fast. yes there are some fees but its not too bad
hope i could help
