Title: Newbie needs help purchasing 0.5-0.8 BTC in Canada
Post by: fibeopblack on October 09, 2015, 12:11:57 PM
Anybody know where I can start.

Was trying to purchase with Credit card.

Why are exchanges charging $200 CAD for 0.5 BTC?

Can someone point me in the right direction? And maybe send a donation to see if my wallet is set up right?

Thanks,

FibeOpBlack

Are you able to pay using a cc? if you are then I can help you buy BTC at an affordable price.

Just pointing out another option if you want a safe way to buy btc using your credit card.

You can check out Virwox, which accepts either paypal, CC and lots of other payment methods.
But be aware that the fees are pretty high, though when buying with CC, you'll always have to pay a higher fee, regardless of what exchange you use.

Check out this guide for buying BTC through Virwox:

And btw, it will not be instant for your first purchase, I believe you'd have to wait 48 hours to withdraw the bitcoins every first time you use a different payment method.

If you can kick down 0.0002 BTC (literally 8 cents) I will walk you through the whole process.
