Quote from: Waster7 on February 06, 2012, 09:51 amDerpasaurus - Thank you very much, and how do you know this?grahamgreene - Haha, quite true.1. Do I need to pinch myself, is this really possible? :D2. Have you had success with receiving Ecstasy from the Netherlands? If not, what have you had success with?3. I have downloaded the basic TOR (Tor, Vidalia, Polipo, and Torbutton) and I am accessing SR and this forum, do I need to take any other measures for security?4. Can I purchase Bitcoins with money in a Perm TSB account?Thank you.1. Entirely possible, and entirely safe once you take the necessary precautions! :)2. Not an ecstacy user myself, but I and people I know have received various quantities of weed from both Canada and the US, ephedrine from Canada, and viagra from Sweden.Out of all of these, only 1 package of weed was sent to customs for valuation (they usually just check the label and apply a value on it), released from customs after 2 days, then promptly lost by An Post. It was never checked back into the system after customs, so I assume someone in An Post either nicked it or else forgot to tag it and it's sitting in a trolley of random mail somewhere in the An Post abyss.A replace package was send free of charge as per the vendors insurance policy, so I didn't make a loss on it.3. I personally don't know enough about security to tell you if what you're doing is entirely safe; personally I like to access Tor either using public wi-fi (always in a corner with my back to the wall and laptop facing me, ensuring there aren't any cameras that could view my screen, or window reflections that could be seen or captured), or else using a pre-pay mobile broadband stick bought using a false identity, and connecting with it at various locations. All of this may be a little overboard, or it may not even be enough, but it's worked for me thus far.4. You can buy BTC through your bank account by using one of the sellers over at www.bitcoin-otc.com on the clearweb.Click on "Web view of the open order book." Set 'type' to SELL, 'thing' to BTC, and 'otherthing' to EUR and click filter. You can click on the nicknames of the sellers to see their ratings, along with the price they're currently charging; 'yossarian' and 'sonba' seem to have the best ratings, so I'd go with them. I know people who've dealt with 'yossarian' before for large amounts and there were no problems at all.Email the seller first from a brand new gmail/hotmail account that you ONLY use to buy BTC from this person, and discuss a rate with them. They'll lock in at that rate for a few hours, and you go to the bank and set up the transfer (you usually have to go into the bank to set up the transfer for the first time, but any future transfers to the same person can be done by online banking.) Buying Bitcoins is completely legal, so ensure you never use that email account to discuss anything illegal.You'll make the purchase by SEPA transfer (European inter-bank transfer) and the seller will get the money within 3 business days - sometimes same day, sometimes the second day, sometimes the third; I've no idea what makes the payments faster, but early morning transfers are always advisable. Ulster Bank seem to be able to process it same-day. After working with the seller a few times, they'll normally ask you for a screenshot or scan of the transfer and they'll send you the BTC once you provide them with proof of transfer, so it's entirely possible to have your coins within an hour of making payment.There are many ways to buy Bitcoin - Mt. Gox etc. - but most ask for ID these days, and the average person here in Ireland wouldn't necessarily have fake documents / identification for this purpose. To sum it up, Bitcoin-otc, I find, is the easiest way to go about acquiring BTC using your bank account.Hope your eyes aren't too sore after reading that. :P(watmm's process also seems excellent! You can buy throwaway mobile numbers / phones for next to nothing, but I think O2 actually send the pin for the card out to you in the post - might be wrong on that one, but sure check it out!)
