Title: Best way to sell bitcoins in Australia
Post by: nomadzecker on May 30, 2012, 02:22 pm
I saw the thread about buying bitcoins in australia I want to know the best methods for selling are.

I did a test using www.spendbitcoins.com

Now I want to do a test and see how easy it is to sell coins.

Anonymously would be preferred.

I can repeatedly link to #bitcoin-otc on the freenode-irc.
They also have a website www.bitcoin-otc.com where you can find the latest offers/requests.
For myself i see the advance, that there isn't a central authority (as e.g. mtgox stated that they would cooperate with cops/le) and you have a direct user2user transfer.
Of course this also brings some problems with it as fear of scamers, but their rating system works quite well.

For the anonymity you're on your own, it's possible to access freenode-irc by using TOR and all the people there knows to handle pgp because you need this to authenticate yourself with the bot there.

When I mean sell I mean sell the coins and have the money transferred to my bank account. #bitcoin-otc on the freenode-irc do this?

How do you sell bitcoins on an irc channel?

No thanks I'd rather deal with a website than person to person it's far to easily to get scammed sending coins without some escrow or exchange site.

#bitcoin-otc would also be a person2person deal.
if you like to know anyway how it works, you should read this: http://wiki.bitcoin-otc.com/wiki/Using_bitcoin-otc

Thanks but I'm looking for an exchange site.

I've used Mtgox to sell bitcoins before and it was rather painless but there has to be another option.

You'll probably have more chance to find a solution, when you're asking your question in the bitcoin-forum (bitcointalk.org).
Perhaps there already is a solution or thread for your topic, try your luck there :)

Crypto X Change (cryptoxchange.com) is apparently the major exchange Down Under.  There's also BitPiggy (bitpiggy.com).  I haven't tried either of them, though.
