Title: Can anyone help me I am very confued
Post by: 1anthony99 on July 20, 2013, 02:45 pm
I am a new customer. I just setup the TorBrowser, I also downloaded Bitcoin Wallet on my laptop and cell phone. I cannot figure out who to use to buy Bitcoins, I setup an account with [CENSORED: spam link].com because it looks simple to use. Any other suggestions on who to use besides this website? I can't figure out how many Bitcoins buy based on what's in my cart ฿3.3714. Once I make a deposit to buy Bitcoins how do I trade them so I  can purchase whats in my cart?

For buying bitcoins I'd use local bitcoins :)
Who did you set up an account with?

Multiply that amount by the weighted average on the Mt Gox site, plus add any fees for cash 2 bitcoins.
Try other threads on the forums. There are some trusted Vendors on here that will sell you coins.
Might want to add just a little extra for the fluctuation in bitcoins price.

Definitely add a little on top to ensure you can cover shipping and bitcoin price fluctuations, I just made my first purchase and due to BTC drop was just under getting what I had originally wanted.

'local bitcoins' is a website which works as an escrow for p2p bitcoin buys/sales.

I don't know if you've noticed but the address you keep writing keeps getting censored.

To help out newbs, I wrote up two methods for anonymously buying bitcoins and moving them to the Road.

You do not have to order the guide; the information is contained directly in the listing itself, which is at:
http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/item/2f9f85aa35

The reason I'm posting the info in my listing rather than here in the forums is that methods of obtaining
bitcoins change from day-to-day.

The guide is designed for buyers, not vendors, and it assumes no previous knowledge or computer skill.

I've used the procedures outlined in this guide--in the USA--many times with no problems.

Peace,
MedicineWoman

probably buy $400 cash worth of BTC just in case a dramatic swing in BTC you'll have extra fees are crazy sometimes and a lot of places recently shut down for a while and a strange coincidence.
