Hi everyone
I'm obviously a virgin here, but would like to say how decent everybody seems. If only people like us were running the world ( or maybe we are, you never know)
Just want to share my newbie experiances, in case they may help some one .
Bitcoins, few what a pain in the bum for us uk guys....
1st....virwox works but you may have to wait up to 48 hours for your first transaction to show. pounds to virtual life currency, then i waited 24 hr for it to be converted to bitcoins and deposited to blockchain ( they say it can be upto 48 hr for first time customers) which is usual for your first time users, after that it's instant. I used daily limit of £32 which ended up as about 2.8bitcoins - you can only convert to whole numbers, so conversion rate left me with some virtual life currency in virox
2nd...Barklay pingit does app work to blockchain... my first payment failed, it turned out because blockchain ran over there daily limit!!! (shows how many people use it!)
soooo. For uk I would recomend Either virwox or pingit, you have to enter your card details for both, so it's up to you how many times you 'launder it'...I understand how important it is we keep the anonamous side of it, but hey despite how large your drug induced paranoia is, there is not a copper monitoring the small time buyer is- they can't cover police on the beat let alone every online purchase
p.p.ps I have read that they generate bitcoins through mining, solving algorithums!!is it me or does this sound too much like die hard 4.0
