Title: Deposit/Account Help
Post by: jack909 on May 13, 2013, 11:59 pm

I posted the following a little while ago, but then noticed I posted under a completely different topic and wasn't sure if anyone would see it.... So here it is again...

Hello SR!  Great to find this site.   However, as I'm sure many newbies before me have said this as well, I'm still a bit lost on putting money in my account.  I have the address (from my account) that it tells me to send to, but how do I go about the sending?  Do I have to purchase bitcoins, or can I deposit USD?  If I can deposit USD, how do I do it?  I've read the SR Wiki, but I guess I'm missing something...

As I said, I'm sure someone or many of you have already answered this/these questions numerous times already, so I apologize for asking you to reiterate it.  However, I'm dying to make a purchase but obviously need money in my account to do so...

Any/all help is much appreciated..

Hi Jack,

You need bitcoins to add to your SR account.  I use Bitinstant.
