Title: Help with bitcoin
Post by: Loucifer on April 24, 2013, 10:45 pm
Hi,

What is the best place to buy bitcoin? Once I buy it how do I get it into my SR account? I am looking around the internet and getting more and more confused on how to proceed.

Thanks

Yo Loucifer, I get my BTC from SR vendors. If you look under the money category there's vendors who will exchange you for something similar to a prepaid credit card, and deposit money in your account for a small fee. If you're American, Moneypaks are the way to go. Since they don't sell those in my country, I use a Ukash card and exchange the code for bitcoins. Try to pick vendors with reliable feedback, and keep in mind the vendors paid a good deal of cash to set up their account, and strive for good feedback so it is reliable.

im just answering to come closer to my 50 posts ^^
the thing is i dont want to spam to 50 so i rather answer a basic question like this even all the info is easily available here and also on the clearweb

best site will depend on wich country you live in , then getting it to SR is quite easy, first you transfer the coins to one or several addresses you create and then from there to SR
wallets can be generated by bitcoin software or through online wallet services, i would go with the software if i was you or even a combination of both

oh and i nearly forgot, you can also generate coins by mining them but good luck with that (i let you google it yourself to find out how and why its hard)

I got my first batch of BTC from Coinbase and I'm cool with that. The wait is a bit, but if you plan ahead thats never been an issue.
