I presume you are UK based (like me) so the easiest way is to transfer straight to intersango (you can do all this online) it will only take an hour or two in my experience, then transfer straight to your SR wallet, easy. Good luck.

I would recommend not to transfer straight to SR account, but to launder it via 2-3 transfers through Instawallet.org.
Also I would recommend to buy bitcoins for cash, thus remaining anonymous.

Hi MandyMan,

Further to LucyLove's post, I wanted to tell you I operate a service selling Bitcoins for cash in the mail. (For full details please see http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=22148.0).

If you use an exchange like Intersango it's obvious to any fool with access to their records not only that you bought Bitcoins but where they have been sent. You can reduce this risk slightly by using a coin mixer but it would still be very easy to detect you'd been buying BTC.

The only safe method to obtain Bitcoins is to either buy them with cash or to sell goods/services for them. Feel free to send me a message I can give you more details.

All the best,

V.

Could you help me?  I am SOOO confused...I just want to buy some product...I can pay cash, but I still don't know what to do.  After a few hours of reading & trying to figure it out, my head's fucked sideways.  I'm a senior citizen, somewhat internet savvy, but this Bitcoin business...???  So give me the Reader's Digest Condensed version, please...


Thank you for any assistance you can give...
