Title: I NEED HELP, I AM A NEWBIE :/
Post by: mynameis_420 on July 15, 2013, 08:52 am
hello everyone, Just made my account and stepped into the SR community. I need to know what is a good site to transfer funds and buy bitcoins that i can later transfer to SR for purchases. A site with low or no fees would be nice. Just need to know what is everyone doing? also there is websites that i came across like mtgox, they require photo IDs, i am trying to avoid doing that, is that even possible. Please HELP and thank you

try localbitcoins, best for total anonymity and set up a wallet for yourself like electrum :)

https://localbitcoins.com

also go to bitcoin.com and choose a wallet for your btc. a bit of advice tho, don't go for the main bitcoin wallet as it took mine 3 days to synchronize and even then it fucked up and the whole 3 days was for nothing

i ended up getting multibit wallet. its a lot lighter and synched in seconds. here's the direct link

https://multibit.org/

localbitcoins.com and a wallet for your smartphone (look at the playstore) and you are fine to go. more advice shouldn't be necessary because the page takes you by the hand and guides you through the ordering process.
