Title: Buying Bitcoins
Post by: greencrack on July 17, 2013, 05:29 pm
How are you all getting your bitcoins? I used bitinstant one time and now the site is down. Attempted sign up at bitstamp and never got the verification email. All the others I've checked out want 20% off the top (robbery). Any other ideas? Also, prefer to moneygram from a local outlet for instant access. Coinbank (4 days and needs a bank account). No thanks. Wow, it's getting harder. Thanks.

Local Bitcoins or Speedy Bitcoin.

Don't know about outside of the UK.

Even though you have to use a bank account, coinbase really does seem legit! I'm verified on there I just havent bought any coins yet as i'm still looking around at vendors!
