Quote from: Nellion on October 08, 2012, 07:03 pmHi,I'm attempting to create a vendor account but have no bitcoins. The rules for creating a vendor account state that you cannot have bought anything on the account. However, I need to buy some COIN to create a vendor account.So, since one cannot have bought anything on their vendor account, does one need to buy COIN on a buyer account---> create a new account ---> send coin from buyer account to vendor account ---> create vendor account ???Or, does buying COIN technically qualify as a purchase and I am able to create the vendor account with the account on which I bought the COIN?Or... Am I totally missing the point and there is a totally better way to go about this? Any help is greatly appreciated, if someone would be kind enough to walk me through this in PM, I would be happy to send a few coins your way (money makes shit happen, right?).???The only reason that it is recommended you use an account which you have never used to buy anything is because any vendor you have used before may have kept your address. If that person has your address, then they can easily blackmail you. If it was a member of LE that you bought from, they now have your address for investigation and prosecution purposes should you choose to sell illegal drugs via the mail service.I don't think you're quite ready to become a vendor.. There are literally hundreds of ways to buy Bitcoin - you don't have to buy them on the Silk Road marketplace. ???
