Noone on here will let you send them anything or exchange anything with someone they dont know.
They will probably call you Law Enorcement for even asking.

If you have hopes of placing your order today, you may want to take $110 and start over at a different site. Paypal will continue to make it difficult if you need a bank account and dont have one.
Ive never used virwox, but im familiar with it.
There are much easier methods of buying BTC and getting them you your SR wallet safely.
Check out the security threads.

  Easy solution, purchase your bitcoins on ebay. There are merchants, but they're pretty expensive. This should be a one time only thing, as it's far from the safest way to get coin, Hitch.

You can also become a bitcoin buy from localbitcoin and use paypal but i'm not sure if they require verified accounts.

If it is possible I have Bitcoin available for purchase via MoneyGram or Western Union. Check my vendor page for more info.

Newbie. Hello, all.

To deposit it says go here: 1MNR66d7wumV7mJqMXQayemAHeBEzE6euq

But I have no idea what that is.

Just to make sure I have this straight: I have to deposit bitcoins -- but have to buy them first somewhere else?

@xan - 1MNR66d7wumV7mJqMXQayemAHeBEzE6euq is your SR Wallet address. If you have bitcoin in another location you need to transfer them to that Wallet Address.. If you do not recognize it, I would guess you do not have bitcoin somewhere yet. If you are just starting out and want to buy coins there are lots of people around here who will give you advice on how to obtain bitcoin. It seems that localbitcoin is the most popular. Try searching google for it.

If you don't want to go that route, there are several Bitcoin vendors around here who will sell you bitcoin anonymously. I am one of them. I am currently out of stock, but will be reloading soon and I would be happy to help you out. Details are on my vendor page which is listed in my signature.

Good luck and welcome!

When I have supplies I would challenge that my service is about as fast as you will find on the road. I hope to have some stock later today, but I will try to let you know. Message me on the main site for faster response times.
