Title: Bitcoin Tutorials? Help Please!
Post by: Chadearium on May 21, 2013, 11:42 pm
Ok, Bitfloor was really east two step process.  Localbitcoins scares me.  Mt. Gox has problems, Bitstamp requires more steps.   Can any one recommend something as simple as going to the bank with instructions like Bitfloor gave me?  Then sending the cash to SR?  Thanks in advance.

The biggest problem is that this game changes sooooo fast

To help out newbs, I wrote up a simple guide for ANONYMOUSLY buying bitcoins using cash, and transferring to the Road:
http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/item/2f9f85aa35

There is nothing to buy, and nothing to download. The guide is designed for buyers, not vendors, and it assumes no previous knowledge or computer skill.

View the information for free, and if moved, donate!

The bitcoin scene changes frequently. By putting this info in a listing, I can update it in one place rather than in many forum posts.

Enjoy,
MedicineWoman

Hrm you have to download the tutorial?  Why not just post it here? Or are you selling it?

Localbitcoins is actually really good.

They have escrow so you can't go wrong. Really fast too.

Typically, how fast is the whole process for you?

DoctorFate,

The reason the tutorial has to be downloaded is that it is a PDF. It's clean and well-formatted. If I were to post it on this thread, it would be a long, text-only spew, which would be hard to print out and follow.

I'm not selling it; I'm giving it away.

Happy Trails!

Ah thanks for clearing that up.  I doubt many people would want to download anything though, have you though of making it a youtube video?  There are ton already but a new one wouldn't hurt.

Yeah this vendor was posting that same thing in any thread asking for btc help.  I can only guess they are attempting to phish us or infects our pc's.  There are plenty of great guides already here and on youtube, and on a bunch of clearnet sites.  They claim their pdf has pictures that make it easy and thats why they don't post it here.  I would be weary of any user with a female user name, as a gamer I know these are the craziest people female or not. 

They actually responded to me in this thread, hilarious stuff...

Let me make his clear, I don't have a problem with women, I like women, but in my experiences people with user names of a feminine nature are always fucking nuts.

DoctorFate,
Why do you think folks wouldn't want to download it? Nothing in it is illegal.
Perhaps I should make that clear in the product listing?
Thanks for the feedback!

They actually asked me this on the thread I linked, I never responded because I hate dealing with crazy people and I didn't want to bring them anymore attention.  But let me answer this now.

One of the first things I learned to do was how to attach a trojan to a an innocuous file.  So I could send that file, image, exe, zip, whatever, to someone and when they opened it they would get infected.  My first trojan was just a simple script that grabbed all the information from the pc it could, all that information that microsoft collects from you, user name, pass for windows, all of it emailed to me.  I  was like 12 or something just playing around I don't do that stuff anymore as I find it pointless. 

Anyway basically you never open a file you don't trust.

Whatever you do stay away from Medicinewoman and her vendor site...

she asks for you name and address "exactly as it appears on a letter"...so she can send you a url to download her guide...

Question...what in the hell does she need your name and address for that...?

Then she tells you to access her download site outside of tor...what the hell...?...so she can snag your real IP...and already has your real name and address...

Nice...now you are ensnared in a Law Enforcement operation...

Simply buy your Bitcoins at www.Bitcoin-Brokers.org

Pay at MoneyGram with NO ID.

Bitcoins are sold for 2% BELOW MtGox...cheaper than Bitinstant.

Available in every country as compared to Bitinstant which is basically just for the USA.

Additionally you can sell your Bitcoins back to Bitcoin-Brokers for a cash pick up at MoneyGram without needing to show ID...totally anonymous.
