Title: need advice RE; spendbitcoins and wallets
Post by: wattle_pilot333 on May 14, 2012, 07:57 am
hey friends,

after hours spent on the forum, im pretty close to getting into the action.

im in aussieland and want to clarify  these following points with other aussies and tech helpers...

1. spendbitcoins: common sense tells me not that i shouldn't transfer coins directly from my spendbtcoin account over to my SR account.
                            so, i guess i have to buy coins via bank deposit into Spendbitcoin..., then transfer the coins from there to my 'ewallet' on my laptop/usb stick , then transfer from wallet to SR account??

2. ewallet:  i first came across a site called bitcoin.org  and downloaded the 'client' there. which i assume is an -ewallet? ('client' same as 'wallet'?)
                  but then after seeing another site called Strongcoin, i got confused and  im curious as to which ewallet MOST newbies are using...?? which one is least complicated..

thanxxx!!

Sr=silk road, wiki=wiki, found at the bottom of silk road web site.

I think the wallet site is bitcoin.org
Download yr wallet, install then wait for it to sync to the network, 1-2 hours I think.
U will find yr wallet address in there.
Head on over to bitinstant and follow the instructions
Fill out the form and provide yr wallet address, go deposit yr cash into one of the four big banks,
Send pic of deposit receipt and it will be in yr wallet real soon.
Was in mine half hour after I sent pic.
Once it's there u can send over to yr sr account, but I would only send what u need.
