hi all,
well, another newbie thread. i apologize. the buyers guide for SR is vague on how to accomplish some things and yes, i have a brain, but i want to make sure im understanding everything correctly before i jump in and attempt anything. reasonable, right?
so, i am mainly confused as to how one buys bitcoins safely for use on SR. ive basically found a relatively fresh thread that says:
intersango -> bitcoinfog -> SR
via here: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=24058.0
some questions:
1. id be using USD from a US bank account to buy bitcoin. so would i then use dwolla to buy from intersango? i read that dwolla just changed their ToS in may to prohibit virtual currency transactions, so is dwolla even usable anymore?
2. if use dwolla, then safety tips on how to use it safely and properly?
3. if dont use dwolla, then how to buy on intersango. bank wire transfer? safe if from US bank account?
rest seems pretty simple. send bitcoins from intersango to bitcoinfog, then send to SR ewallet. make purchase, etc.
thanks in advance for any help, tips, and such!

From what i have seen and understand.
Stay away from using a direct transfer from your accounts.
Try finding a source that you pay into "say walk into a bank with their details" pay X amount into account they then credit you Bitcoins.
I could be wrong entirely, but see what else people say. GL

There is a new BTC Exchangers review thread (with moderator assistance) on the forums that might be useful to you:

They are attempting to cover exchangers on SR as well as on clearnet.
Good luck!
