Title: Paypal to SK
Post by: Hukne on October 22, 2011, 05:55 pm
Hi, Im going to send some money through paypal for bitcoins. Can I tell the guy, who is going to send me the btc, to send them straight to the address written in my SK account? Or does he have to send them to Mt. Gox first?
Thanks for reply!

Just make sure you use a new address.

Can someone explain the Paypal for bitcoins?  Or is it written up somewhere?  Sounds like a risky situation?

I would not do it with anyone I met on here: they're getting too much info from me, when I pay...any LE could get hold of that, easily.  Buying them is one thing....buying them from someone on here is whole other thing.  I'd be real careful about getting them from a non-SR person, then have them sent to instawallet for tumbling, then send here....I'd keep them off my personal wallet, but in any case, you always want to put some distance/tumbling between you and any credit card/paypal/banking transactions, that are coming this way eventually.

Also, the person doesnt know that it is sending the money to SK. Is it still alright? This is probably dumb question but I want to be sure..

Ok, I got 12BTC in instawallet but when I want to send them to my SR account it says ,,Account has insufficient funds (or not enough confirmations) to complete this action."
What should I do now??

use instawallet , hit send btc button, get a new address from SR and put that address from SR in the instawallet deposit section.
Wait 3-5 hours presto.

I can only send the money from instawallet, and when I try to do that I get the ,,insufficient funds" message

Instawallet shows transactions instantly (imagine that :o) but won't let you send them until 6 confirmations are made hence why it was saying insufficient funds at first.  6 confirms can take an hour or so.
