Title: Please walk me through
Post by: a1b2c3 on June 09, 2013, 09:38 am

Hi all
            Im new here and I would really appreciate your help familiarizing myself with this site and how things work - so if any of you clever people :) wouldn't mind sharing your experience Id be really grateful         

I'm on the verge of making my firs small SR purchase.  Until now Bit Coins have really put me off as I don't know how they work etc.  However the quality of my drug of choice has become so weak after an apparent long term drought.
So I look to the road for some quality.

WHERE TO BUY BITCOINS (UK CUSTOMER)
I am a UK customer and plan on using bitbargain.co.uk to purchase my Bit coins.  ( does anyone know if this is a reputable source and if I need to watch out for anything to NOT get ripped off - or if I should use another site )

HOW TO GET BTC TO SR
Once I have my BTC they will be in my bitbargain wallet.  How do I get those BTC over to SilkRoad?


WHAT IS ESCROW - FINALIZE EARLY AND SHOULD I DO IT
Now they ARE in Silk Road -  I look for something to buy - a lot of vendors I see demand FINALIZE EARLY.  I read on here you must not FE - however so many vendors demand it and many buyers seem happy to do it.  Is FE something that STRICTLY speaking you shouldnt do but that everyone in reality does do - or is it a NO NO -  I don't even really fully understand what FE mean - I have heard of escrow -  as I understand it usually I would buy my thing and send the money to escrow and then the vendor would send out my goods once I recieve them I FINALIZE and this would release the escrow funds to the vendor?  but FE just gives the funds directly to the vendor??? 


Sorry for so many questions guys
Thanks again for any help

 :)

B.

Please read the entire SR wiki then post back with your remaining unanswered questions.

Happy to help you but you should help yourself first.
