Could some one please give me a link on how to set up and use bitcoins I havent a clue how to use it, everything ive read I dont understand its al;l confusing to me. What is the best way to set it up and stay anonymous. I have already downloaded tor and registered to silk road and this forum what do I need to do now?

Thanks in advance

Are you in us? If so, localbitcoins.com. they have an escrow service and you can choose to do a face to face transaction as well to buy bitcoins.

i've always had good luck just buying a moneypak and trading it with a BTC vendor on SR. Just be sure to research the vendor and you should be good. I've used probably 4-5 different ones and they were all quick to send the coins

Hi

I am in the uk. If I buy from a member on silk road useing a money pack do I just send them the money and they trasfer the bitcoins to my account? I have been reading up about needing a usb stick what is this all about? Do i need this or can i just use my tor browser on my computer, does this make any differnce?

thanks for the reply appreciate it ;)

i wouldn't reccomend buying with moneypak. there are some legit btc dealers on SR but you'll have to do a lot of research and could end up with nothing if you are unlucky or not careful enough.
stick to localbitcoins.com and you're fine (you can use moneypak on localbitcoins too, but have the advantage of an escrow system)


cheers

In the UK you can buy them straight off blockchain.info or bitbargain.co .uk just run them through a few wallets before your SR wallet so your bank account used to buy coins isnt linked to your SR account
