Hi,
I am looking to use a cc to put bitcoins in my wallet, and I am only familiar w/ Mt. Gox, doing transfers from dwolla; I was wondering if anyone has ever used this site b/c aurora says it is an untrusted connection, but I remember seeing one of the sellers on here recommend it; thanks to anyone who knows about this site.

I use them pretty much for xchange LR to BTC. never had any probs!

I've used them twice now and they are my new favorite.
1) They are located in russia which makes them a safe haven so none of that mtgox crap. (mtgox last week locked me out of my account without verification)
2) The price of btc is lower at btc-e than anywhere else I know of online, which is awesome for buying bitcoins.
So lets say you wire money from your bank to btc-e to bitcoins, and the cost to wire money is 4%, but btc-e lets you buy bitcoins at 10% less than the market rate (less than the mtgox rate) so you make 6% in the transaction alone.

i've used them also once, after i've read a pretty good review from a member here...
they have law fees, plenty of methods how to get bitcoins + exchange them, so lets go and get it!

It says Paxum dropped anything related to Bitcoins. But yet BTC-e still offers Paxum? Has anyone used paxum with them lately?

Which option is the bank wire option? I would imagine paying with credit card is not as safe.

@mofn
I haven't used the exchanger but the website interkassa.com will allow credit cards and bank wire transfer. From there just interkassa -> btc-e -> your bitcoin wallet -> SR
You can look under the deposit USD section to see a list of exchange websites supported like Paxum.
@holly
I've never used paxum, but I'm curious. I'm considering trying it at least once.
