Title: Noob Question! Just bought some Bit Coin via Mycelium app!!
Post by: kingkong1920 on September 25, 2017, 10:19:34 AM
NOOB ALERT!!  Using the Mycelium app (wallet) Just bought my first ever bitcoin. The app sent me to a site that had me use my credit card and requested pics and ID pictures that i sent. Question? How long before the bitcoin shows in my wallet?

The money has been taken off my card.

Thanks in advance :)

Can you give us the site where you buy bitcoins and maybe you are in the wrong place that is why you didn't receive your bitcoin..
Did you buy correctly better to check this https://mycelium.com/lt/help.html
I think mycelium has only buy and sell it has a built exchanges for bitcoin to usd.
Never tried to buy bitcoin with credit card so better to give us the link if what site you buy your bitcoin ..

Probably using the incredibly expensive "Buy" feature in Mycelium that redirects to "Simplex". (https://mycelium.simplex-affiliates.com)

Aside from being incredibly expensive (has a markup of like 5+% or something ridiculous)... I don't see anywhere in the checkout form where you are supposed to put in your Bitcoin Address, so I have no idea how it figures out where to actually send your bitcoins!!?! ???

Try and contact Mycelium and/or Simplex support and see if they can help...
