Dude you need to chill out, slow down and start reading. There is NO way to place an order without spending at least a few hours researching first.
You need to learn how to safely and anonymously get coins, use PGP and so forth.
There are plenty of threads, use the search function.
For instance: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=142911.msg977286#msg977286
How are you buying bitcoins? Cash, Bank transfer, mobile phone, credit card?
Have you learned how to use PGP encryption yet? If not, you need to. This is a must for encrypting your address and other sensitive info.

I would buy bitcoins whichever way is quick and easy... I didn't know there were that many ways? Cell phone? I am reading and reading... Is it easiest to purchase from sr vendor?
-
I think I'm going to do Moneypack with thebudfather? Any input for that plan?
-
I've never bought from folks on the road. I got a mtgox account and use bitinstant. In 3 hours, I'm placing orders because I've gotten my funds in my SR wallet:)
-
I use localbitcoin in the UK :)
-
mtgox is the most popular it seems.
In the uk I use bitbargain.co.uk

@android hi can u do a bank transfer with bitinstant is it quick and easy? thanks :)
-
Bitbargain is good if you're UK. Buying coins from vendors? I wouldn't anyway. Read the Bitcoin scams thread too

No idea mate, never used bitinstant.
I use bitbargain & pingit. (You can also do bank transfers on bitbargain though.)
Bitbargain is quickest method of getting coins in the uk as far as I know. And it doesn't require ID or anything. Just quick registration of a mobile number.

Sorry i meant bitbargin thanks android :)

I remember what it was like when I found SR too though, I felt like I absolutely needed to buy from it now, I thought it was too good to be true, like it would explode or something less drastic, get taken down. The whole Deepweb was new to me, in fairness it still is. I saw a statistic the other day saying that the deepweb is 40 times bigger than the normal WWW. If that's true, it's staggering. Especially considering how few sites I've come accross
