Yep: we've all had to do it...knuckle down and study up a bit.  Learn how bitcoins work, how to get them here.  Next learn how pgp works, set that up...there's plenty about all of this in the forums.  I know it seems overwhelming, but again, we all had to do it...I did, didn't know shit about any of this...got Tor set up, and got here, and hell, they didn't even have these separate forums, just had to google around, on bitcoins, but now there is plenty posted.  You can buy them easy enough on the main site, but you pay more, and there's no guarantees, although several people on there--SugarMama comes to mind--have earned good reputations.

You want to save money, go offsite, there are also many threads on that...time to start practicing your search skills :)

Silk Road is illegal, Bitcoins are not. There is absolutely no reason to buy them here.

Sure there is: convenience.  I know how to buy them offsite, do it all the time...but if I"m in a hurry, and just want to get a moneypak and get'em here.  Saying there is 'absolutely no reason' doesn't make sense.  I mean, *you* don't have to buy them, and for long periods of time, *I* may not like to buy them, but there is good reason that onsite vendors stay on here: there are buyers.  Doesn't have anything to do with the legality of it: we know they're legal....
