Title: OKPAY??????
Post by: Newguy321 on July 19, 2013, 03:41 pm
I just signed up to OKPay and got this:

Dear Client!
 We are currently not able to process financial operation in favor of individuals or companies based in the United States of America. This includes US citizens residing overseas.
We apologize for the inconvenience,
 OKPAY Team



Does this mean I cannot setup a acct to buy Bitcoins?


I am a total Noob to this stuff and I am trying to us localbitcoins but everyone takes OKPay???

That sucks..  They really hate bitcoins.  Thats more reason to use them.

i ran into the same problem! however, localbitcoins is suggested for use on the road because you can buy from local vendors in person using cash, so it's typically more anonymous and less traceable than a digital transaction. if you're not worried too much about detection, there are plenty of options to buy digitally outlined in the bitcoin wiki:

best of luck brother

Thanks for the information. I WILL find a way. I am just getting started and do not have a sound system in place yet.

Thanks for posting this I'm glad I avoided getting started with them and tying my money up I'll just stick with simpler options that don't take issue with bitcoins

Literally all of the sites I've used have either shut down or now require verification. Bitcoins are difficult to get now but there's always a way, good luck man!
