Title: Has anybody purchased Bitcoins from Britcoin?
Post by: striker90 on December 07, 2012, 06:02 pm
Greetings guys, I'm new.

Looking to purchase BTC for the first time, and I am more paranoid about purchasing them than I am regular products on SR.

Has anybody used Britcoins?   http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/9aedd2d575

Trading at in at £8 a coin, which is reasonable but I'm being held back by their lack of feedback.  On using the search on this forum, I noticed posts relating to Britcoin from just over a year ago.  Which either means that this is the same person, or a scammer.

Has anybody dealt with this guy?  Options for getting BTC's while in the UK are seeming quite limited.

The fact that 'Britcoin' was mentioned just over a year ago does not mean "that this is the same person, or a scammer."
How did you manage to come to such ludicrous conclusions without any evidence pointing to that fact?  ???

Britcoin is the former name of Intersango, a UK based Bitcoin trading platform and exchange. The seller on Silk Road simply shares the same name as Interango's previous trading name.

i should have picked my words more carefully. 

however, if the account is under that name, but isn't the same people.  then it could easily be a scammer using their name, no?  it's also a new vendor account that's been active around a week.
