Title: Acquiring Bitcoins?
Post by: redcoin on February 27, 2013, 11:17 pm
Hey guys!  So i've bought Bitcoins twice now and i'm looking for more efficient ways to do it.

The first two times I used bitinstant.com
-The service is great, and easy to use
-But I feel like the fees are very high, and i'm not getting good value

I've heard of a few other options
-Bitstamp.net
--Looks great, would rather stay anonymous, but this is all for personal amounts so I don't think i'd raise suspicion in this manner
-Bitfloor.com
--I like the look of this service, only a 1% fee!
--It also looks like the price is $1ish over MtGox ask so I'd have to take that into account
-http://ok2yri46aaptiu2d.onion/index.htm
--Read about this place on the forums, this looks like the best option, i'd just like more feedback on it

Anyways guys, I'd like to know what you think,  and how you buy bitcoins

Safety's a priority, but I don't want to throw money away either.

I recommend Blue Sky Traders if you are in the USA, if you don't mind trading with what appears to be a smaller and more personal trader, instead of a clear net website. Here is the .onion site:

Read the instructions carefully and put your order in early. Hes very fast and reliable, providing you use all the correct information. Anonymous bank deposit, so its pretty secure. I've cashed over $1000 with BST and has been a success everytime

I've used campbx , super easy and quick.

Right now I am in the process of using coinbase, so far so good..
