Bitcoin ? any recomendation ?
 

Well got my bitcoin wallet open now i would need to add funds Bitcoin to it.

any reputable place you guys have deal with already etc ... Canadian or US Payment ( interact or CC ) ?

Many thanks :thumbsup

I use multibit and Circle.

I had two places tonight tell me that I'm not me, even after sending a scan of my passport and a photo of me holding it.

I had to go through all that when trying to register at exchanges, very frustrating.
Don't think I had to at Circle though. Cryptsy is the other one.

Circle and Coinbase should be most convenient and trustworthy out of all places you can buy bitcoins at for US and western Europe folks. I haven't used or checked out Circle, but remember a while ago they were allowing instant buy with CC's, don't remember their region/country-wise spread. Coinbase constantly expanding. Both companies got serious investments/VC's backing them.

Localbitcoin (careful some guys in New York were robbed doing this.)

Coinbase. Transfer to another wallet to use. They are a regulated exchange. If you transfer to a casino or something they might report you.

Jesus fucking christ I've been trying all god damn night to get a fucking account somewhere. This is really starting to fucking piss me off.

And this is the major problem with bitcoin. There are not enough easy places to exchange your money without having to jump through hoops.

I agree localbitcoins is the easiest place to buy (and quickest) but you will pay a bit more. The price of convenience.

So much for the 'anonymous' crypto currency.

Thank you all for your input , going to get a coffee and will look around your suggestion.

Thanks folks :thumbsup

Localbitcoins is what I've used, it's an escrow service to meet people to buy and sell from, I've heard of at least one person in adult having their coinbase account closed without warning or explanation, so ymmv

I am looking for one that accepts CC. Anyone know of a good one for North America..

And where do you guys store it? I heard Bitcoin wallet mentioned, but is it better to store it on your HDD or online? Any good places online?

Nobody should accept credit card for bitcoin, unless they know each other very well.

And you should maintain your own full node if you plan on investing in bitcoin.

Whats your goal? do you care about everything being in your name, or traceable to your computer? If its all on the up and up, investing etc you can just use coin base.

If you are going "gangster" there are sites that put you together with people willing to buy / sell BTC for cash. You meet up in person, pay, handle the transfer. Learn to use BTC mixers etc.

edit: forgot the link: LocalBitcoins.com: Fastest and easiest way to buy and sell bitcoins (cash)

Rubbish.

I pay for my bitcoin through Circle with by credit/debit card. It's instant and I never had a problem.
Also, most people have no need to run a full node or download the blockchain. Just use Multibit or mycelium for your phone.

I woke up this afternoon and Circle has approved my account :)

btc-e.com

congrats :) , i tried to get my credit card approved few months ago but i couldn't .

I should have done this a long time ago. I love just scanning a QR code on my screen and hitting send.

Now Circle isnt accepting my payments. And of course you cant get these fuckers on the phone.

Coinbase for USA ACH buys

Coin.MX for creditcard buys

:thumbsup

Coinbase has been great so far for me. I've accepted payment through BitPay as well and they've been reliable.

what's the liquidity of a bitcoin nowadays?

hey i was wondering the other day how it's been working out for you! hope you did some sales with it.


people get accustomed to bitcoin and hearing about it. i think it will get more use especially for the internet related things and for transacting across borders. the tech is solid so far

bitcoin.org the best place to learn about bitcoin.

Listed price minus 1%

If you need to buy bitcoin without registration check BTCexpress.net
That is an Bitcoin exchange office and his service allows you to buy BTC and receive them within minutes on your cryptowallet.
Actually they don't accept Credit Card. Just european alternative payments like Sofort, Giropay, SEPA credit transfer and so on.

That is very anonymous ;)

Purchasing the bitcoin isn't supposed to be anonymous. Exchanges need to protect against fraud and money laundering just like any other financial service.
Its when you spend bitcoin that it's anonymous. Your bitcoin address is personal to you and theoretically cannot be traced back to you however all transactions are recorded in the publicly available blockchain.

Why is someone with an XOTIKA ad promoting the dark-side? Aren't you guys in the WoT?

Coin.MX is shut down and the owners were arrested on serious charges last week.

All as been said on this topic, just would like to add :

CryptoElite.com is the best place to learn about Capricoin

if you're in USA i think the best one is GEMINI now, the fee is only 0.25% per transaction compared to coinbase's 1.0%

Stay away from Cryptsy. They got like 3 million stolen.

Coinbase is the only one I trust. And I move the funds to my own multibit wallet pretty fast.

i recommend BTCexpress - Without Registration, Express and secure for european customer

WageCan | Bitcoin Debit Card - Connecting Virtual with the Real World

Any thoughts? Looks promising.

localbitcoins is the way to go, I found a Chinaman there who sells only 1-2% above spot. Everything else is a rip. I've been using localbitcoins since 2012.

are u okay :) ?

The best one is Coinbase.com. I've been using it since last November and it works really well. Super easy to buy and sell BTC.

I've started investing in bitcoin and gold recently these past couple months... getting ready for the recession.

I use coinbase.com and apmex.com
