Title: Bitcoins by the weekend? (UK)
Post by: cottonwalkway on June 07, 2012, 05:08 am
Haven't bought Bitcoins before (though I have mined them).

Need 150BTC by the weekend, was going to use mtgox but I've heard they can take up to 3 days to receive your bank transfer?

Anyone know how long http://intersango.com takes to receive your payment?

Or am I better off using someone like googleyed on SR and paying by Westernunion or Moneygram?  :P

I appreciate there are probably a lot of these posts, just wanted some quick clarification.

Cheers

I'd personally try finding a vendor on SR that accepts a payment method you can use over in the UK.

Thought as much, googleyed accepts GBP via Moneygram and WU so I'll probably just do that, fees aren't that bad considering it's 150BTC anyway.

Intersango is very fast. I make the bank transfer and get the bitcoins about an hour later.

Whilst intersango is a bedroom operation, they are actually 10x faster than mtgox.

They've have problems recently but I think that's all been sorted out now, I'd go with them if you want it for the weekend. If you do mtgox today they wont process it until monday.

Hi Cottonwalkway,

I offer a service here on SR selling Bitcoins to people in the UK in exchange for cash in the mail - one of the few ways of obtaining Bitcoins safely.

My current turnaround time is two working days so if you do need BTC that urgently and want to obtain them safely I'd suggest you either use Intersango and run your coins through a mixer like Bitcoinfog which is reasonably safe or look on your local Craigslist to see if anyone in your area sells them for cash.

If you do need to obtain Bitcoins safely within 48 rather than 24 hours, I'd be happy to work with you. Please see the link to my thread below where I explain how my service works.

All the best,

V.

Very happy to use you in the future, much prefer sending cash to be honest. Will probably come back to you at the end of next week. Thanks for the rest of the advice :)
