No one can give me an answer that helps me. This shit is very confusing. You checked my post hell I don't even know how to check my post. Once I learn the ropes I will be good to go.

I will walk you through it... Follow the link here:

http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/item/f8f2cf120e

Buy the free listing and then I will walk you through the transaction. It will require you to deposit the amount you want to change into Bitcoin through Western Union. Once the funds are verified you will have your bitcoin deposited directly in your account.

   Come on mate. This guy knows nothing, and you're using that to get him to buy btc off you? That's pretty unethical. Not to mention buying through western union is unsafe for a number of reasons.

   Anthony if you seriously want to know how to get coins I'll help you. Do you know how to send me a private message?

In my post I said localbitcoins, perhaps I should have been more clear. That is a website where you buy them off people personally and it has a ratings system based on trust.

No offence to any guys selling it on here but be very careful about who you buy from.

I suppose it would be unethical if I wasn't doing it with good intentions. I am not charging him fees and I am providing a service. Hopefully he will appreciate it and use me in the future. If he wants to use another method that is his right. I am not trying to pressure anyone or take advantage in any way. I was only offering my service.

But , LBTC's will ork and there sare many options for you, you don't really have to meet someone local to use it You can have a transaction done in a matter of hours if your near a Bank of America, and , there';s many options besides that one.

hahahah anthony that is funny response yeah it can take some time to figure out how SR works and PGP and coins but it doesnt take long man, and like the everyone else has said including above ^^ dude localbitcoins is the best and safest way man, i have personally be scammed for over 4K trying to get coins from the Road itself and even the buyers guide tells you not to....there are many forums for noobs to get basic understanding to acquire coins but honestly i would check out localbitcoins first man usually coins are released in less than a minute and i would speak of the escrow system but i dont know if you know what the escrow system is for that compared to SR ....just want you to get coins safe and legitimately get them and not get scammed on one of your first experiences with the Road....whichever method you choose be careful and do research

I have registered for Silk Road but I cannot figure out where to setup my Bitcoin account & how to deposit money and all that shit. Can someone help me step by step to setup the rest of my account so I can start making purchases?


Newbie discussion / Can anyone help me I am very confued
« on: July 20, 2013, 02:45 pm »
I am a new customer. I just setup the TorBrowser, I also downloaded Bitcoin Wallet on my laptop and cell phone. I cannot figure out who to use to buy Bitcoins, I setup an account with [CENSORED: spam link].com because it looks simple to use. Any other suggestions on who to use besides this website? I can't figure out how many Bitcoins buy based on what's in my cart ฿3.3714. Once I make a deposit to buy Bitcoins how do I trade them so I  can purchase whats in my cart?

I have a life outside this forum. Sorry if I disappear for a while Hitch. This shit is frustrating. Once I get 1 purchase under my belt & it arrives as stated then you we hear from me a lot more.

   You're forgiven Anthony, you madman. I don't know what it is, but there's something adorable about you. You keep having the answers given to you, but it just seems to frustrate you more! Good luck my friend.

Hey what do you mean when you say you an have a transaction done in a matter of hours if you live near a Bank of America.  Does BOA have a thing like Wells Fargo had where you can make a deposit and get BTC right from the bank or are you talking about local coins and how its easier in general if you live near a bank?  Walked the road for almost 3 years now, have only purchase BTC through SR (usually prepaid cards) cause I figure it was the most anonymous way to get BTC.  Out of all my BTC purchases I only got beat once this past week by BenzoKing, but a vender with stats like that getting hacked or selling their account rarely happens, still I want to look into a more dependable source and wanted to hear what others think is the easiest to setup(bitinstant, mt. gox, or marketplace like ebay).

By the way I thnk its fine if venders help out SR users to get started, as long as they dont try to take advantage of the new user in any way.  On the other hand if people make it too easy to use SR, your going to end up with alot of kids on the road, which is good for nobody.

when you do a transaction on localbitcoins because of the escrow system in place and whatnot it gives you a 90 minute period to preform the buyer side of the deal whether that is transferring cash or making a deposit.....let me just say it takes longer to drive to the bank and make the deposit than it does for the coin vendors to release the funds from escrow ....everytime i notify the sellers telling them i completed my portion they verify and coins are in my account sometimes within SECONDS....way better and safer way than the road.....and not near the 15-20% fees you will encounter on the road....atlesat my LBC vendors fees arent that bad maybe others wont agree but its def. the best way and there are SOOO many legit vendors minus like the 3 or 4 vendors on SR for coins....think of LBC as the SR of BTC

I have always used Bitinstant to get coins in the past. It is not a terribly onerous process, but there are fees involved and it is not 100% anonymous. I am currently offering my service for very cheap and it provides complete anonymity.
