Title: What is the easiest method to get bitcoins?
Post by: DayMachu on July 11, 2012, 07:25 am
A simple step by step process. A friend of mine and I are new to the site and having a hard time grasping the aspects of retrieving bitcoins. Could someone help?  :D

This isn't a step by step process, but it should help.

When you're on the SR website, look down the menu on the left.

Click on the link that says 'Money'.

You should figure it out from there by clicking on the different vendors etc. ;)

                      BEST METHOD
1.Go over to bitinstant.com on the clearnet.
2.on the options select "deposit at major bank branch" and than it asks where to send the bitcoins and select "bitcoin address"
3. it will ask for the bitcoin address you want them sent to. i always just send them directly to my silk road address which can be seen when you click on the "account tab" on silk road. its the 32 digit number/letter combo. make sure you copy and paste it!!!
4. continue all of the steps as outlined on the website. it will make a deposit slip for you
5. print the deposit slip, or just open it from your email on your phone. and bring it to the bank, show it to the banker, make the deposit. your bitcoins will be sent directly to your silk road account

                    SHITTIER METHOD
1. go grab a "greendot moneypack card" at wallmart, fred meyer, wallgreens, etc.
2. put desired amount of money on this card at the register.
3. go to the "money" section on silkroad.
4. add to cart a listing that says something like "bitcoins for your moneypack"
5. put your moneypack number in the area where it says to put your address. and the seller will send them directly into your account
