Quote from: shopper1888 on August 08, 2012, 09:17 pmMt gox is easier than you might think although it looks daunting - get validated after signing up by scanning and uploading your ID to them and then they send you onto their partner company who have a Barkleys account in the UK, after you validate with them (this shoud take no more than a day if doen properly) you can get in touch with your bank to get tham to send money to them - once it is set up it is easy as pie.If you do decide to do it and come across any problems or have questions get in touch and i will be in touch quickly as I am on holiday at the moment. I thought it was really difficult at first but as long as you read the FAQs and go through the stages there is really nothing to it. Just remember that the bank needs to have the reference which is the same for everyone in the UK and you will find in the faq at mount gox...actually I have found it You give this to your bank Account Name: TIBANNE LIMITEDBank Name: BARCLAYSSort code: 20-35-90Account number: 63508234IBAN: GB37 BARC 2035 9063 5082 34BIC: BARCGB22M12178200X (this is the reference - very important) The thing that is confusing at first is that mount gox gives out the cash but you need to apply through https://www.aurumxchange.comremember to do this all on the 'proper internet' or you will get your account suspended.good luck whatever way you go.The reference number you supplied may be YOUR reference shopper1888 but every MtGox account's will be different. If someone were to use that reference number the cash would be credited to your own account!MtGox is an excellent way to obtain Bitcoins for legal purposes, provided you don't mind both your bank, Barclays, MtGox and anyone with access to their records such as the Police knowing you've purchased Bitcoins.For a detailed explanation of why using a Bitcoin Trader like myself over an exchange please see http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=25163.0Thanks,V.
