Title: Bitcoins UK
Post by: sillibilli on May 17, 2013, 05:25 am
I am wondering what is the easiest, most cost effective way of getting Bitcoins in the UK?

localbitcoins.com

Find a seller who's selling at a reasonable price, read their ad and check their feedback, many accept uk bank transfer or pingit.

Hope this helps! :-)

Easiest? Bitbargain

Most cost effective... hmm, if you use bitstamp . net or mtgox you will have to pay bank transfer fees which can be quite high. You may get a good offer with localbitcoins but you are taking more of a risk IMO meeting someone face to face..

I'd say bitbargain is the best toss up between speed and cost.

Yeah I second localbitcoins.com

You can also look for traders that accept barclays bank transfer, and go and pay cash at the counter into their account to create less paper-trail!
