Buying bitcoins

[Supervisor]

I want to collect some informations to make a guide on how to buy bitcoin easy and safe.
Since buying bitcoins in different countries works different it's not very easy to do one universal guide.. Therefore I need some informations from the users who did manage to buy bitcoins.
So the questions I have for you would be:

• What country do you live in?
• Does it work in other countries as well? (in case you know)
• What method did you use to pay for the bitcoins?
• What BTC wallet did you end up using?
• What website did you use to buy the bitcoins?
• How long did it take you?
• Make a tutorial on how to buy the bitcoins
• Everything else you want to add

Thank you for participating!
To make it a little bit more appealing for you guys, I will give away one month of VIP (upgrade/ extra time) to one good guide

Well as this took me at least 3 days to figure out I will help ya chaps out:

ONLY ACCEPTS: USD, GBP, EURO, CHF

Step 1: Sign up to this website ( All countries ) https://blockchain.info/wallet/#/signup Once you have signed up you will instantly get a free Bitcoin wallet but remember to use a real email because for most logins you have to verify it. This is for security purposes.

Step 2: Sign up to the this website ( All countries) https://www.virwox.com/ This is where you will purchase the SLL and then convert it into bitcoin.

Step 3: On the left hand side you will see this box:

Choose the top one of the top 4 to convert your currency into SLL this will then convert into bitcoin.

Step 4: Make the purchase, you can only purchase a minimum of $10 otherwise it will not accept it.

Step 5: Once you have purchased your SLL convert it into bitcoin located at the bottom left of the box shown in step 3.

Step 6: open up your wallet and click "Receive" on the block chain website, this then allows you to send the bitcoin.

Step 7: Send it to your block chain wallet and then wait until you receive it, should take 24 hours as it has Manuel checks.

Step 8: Once you have your bitcoin go to R4P3.net and then open the donation section, write your account name and click donate.

Step 9: Send the bitcoin from your wallet to the address, this is an instant transaction.

Step 10: PM @Asphyxia saying you've sent your money and mention that you've wrote your account name on the payment <-

Step 11: get a PM back saying "Sorted, Welcome to VIP" and your good to go!!!!

Step 12 (Bonus): Like this post because this tutorial was blunt and straight to the point.

Why can't we use paypal to place orders? you could also use Stipe, where it takes Credit card/debit card directly.
I really wanted to buy VIP, and in the past, I've done so with Paypal, but this time, I used $25 for the $10 membership...
Using @Benjo guide and website, the fees of going back and forth, I wasted $15. (Minimum to transfer BTC is 0.020)

Yeah bitcoin makes the world ruthless. I managed to loose £20 so RIP.

Hi,
I´m from Austria and i use paypal+mastercard to get what i need.
I personally prefer https://www.virwox.com - it´s easy and they accept a wide range of payment processor.
So it took me 5 mins to get my BTC ready for transfer.

all the best,
zoomer

Virwox.com will take around 24-48 hours to verify (FOR FIRST TIME ONLY)
HOWEVER, because you have to put in $USD, then convert to SLL, then convert to Bitcoin, then transfer Bitcoin to your wallet, they charge you a fee for EVERYTHING.
To get $15 Bitcoin, you will have to put in $25 - $27, after you convert and everything is done, you will have $15 - $16 in bitcoin

'they charge you a fee for EVERYTHING'

yeah - that´s the bad part - but i do this not often - so who cares
