Title: Easiest way to get bitcoins?
Post by: ringofblack on March 16, 2012, 01:06 am
I'm new to bitcoins and SR and I can't use MTGox to buy coins. What's the easiest way for me to buy them?

from mtgox, look at your funding options, and click on bitinstant.  this lets you make a cash deposit to mtgox, from several bank locations.  then get a wallet at blockchain.info.  transfer your bitcoin from mtgox to your blockchain wallet.  then log onto tor, and transfer your coin from your blockchain wallet to the SR.

that's how i do it.  it's fast, and painless.  the worst part for me is having to drive an hour to another town, but that's just because i live out in bfe.

There are other exchanges out there.  I use cryptoXchange.

use sugar mama or any vender like that on silkroad. Sugar mama will accept moneypak you can buy them at cvs, walmart, 711, rite aid. all you have to do is put the amount on at the register you want then order the listing and provide your code and amount.

I think this depends on the reason why you can't use MTGox. And also how you prefer to buy your bitcoins.

If moneypak you're looking at one of the traders here (check the money section on SR).
