Title: Bitcoins For GBP
Post by: pac1 on May 10, 2013, 12:16:37 AM
Hi everyone, i have been reading this forum for a while and have to say some very interesting and enlightened views,
Always a great read and source of info or informed gossip.
i was wondering when we might be able to buy from a uk exchange, has no-one put one together yet or is it another restiction the uk goverment has
imposed to help the b(w)ankers out.

Why can't you use any of the already existing exchanges? Why does it have to be a "uk exchange"?

By making a 'withdrawal' from Mt.Gox are you referring to withdrawing your national currency or BitCoin? Or do you mean depositing?

it would appear that i have overlooked the bank transfer option in the withdrawl method in mt gox, it still takes to long to achieve what i was trying to do but at least now i know.
thanks for your time and comments

I looked at uploading to them, but it costs loads and I only wanted 8 Coins. I went for a face to face trade.

Be prepared for 3-7 day wait times for most transfers from your bank and to your bank.
