Title: Best way to acquire BTC
Post by: imthatguy01 on May 01, 2013, 06:14 am
Just looking for advice on the easiest way to acquire BTC.  So far i've acquired BTC via Coinbase, and via SR vendors.

Use www.mtgox.com (CLEARNET)
It is really easy, you just fill out a Moneygram and it will let you know the closest business that can accept the Payment.
The USD or whatever currency you use will go into your Mtgox account, then you Buy the BTC there manually which takes literally a few seconds.
Then you transfer them to your BTC address, very simple anybody can do it.

That or you can go to bitinstant.com and transfer it right into your SR account. Just copy your bitcoin address number into bitinstant.com

What about us poor UK dwellers?

Been using bitbargain since blockchain.info (clearnet!) stopped selling to UK. Get ripped off every time though...
