Title: New to bitcoins :) Post by: Johnny6 on June 15, 2013, 10:08:35 PM Hey guys, Im new to bitcoins, and I have a few questions before I dig in:
Can I mine bitcoins with my gaming computer? The gaming computer I have is this one: http://www.dell.com/uk/p/alienware-aurora-r4/pd.aspx Where is the best place to buy bitcoins? Can I buy them with a bank account or cash in my local area? (I am from Scottland) Title: Re: New to bitcoins :) Post by: Rhium on June 15, 2013, 10:38:11 PM Of course you can mine with your gaming computer BUT..
it has a nvidia card which is very ineffient to mine but if you have free electrity if you dont, dont mine with 680. you can buy btc:s form https://mtgox.com/ or https://btc-e.com/ . Use a bank account to buy it, it is quite difficult to buy them with cash Title: Re: New to bitcoins :) Post by: hardkur on June 15, 2013, 10:42:08 PM hello im new in bitcoins too i was doing some reaserch and from what i understeand its best to invest in some ASIC miners to mine bitcoins

You can, but it might not be worth it. Since specialised hardware (Asics) are on the market GPU mining is becoming more and more ineffecient. Quote Where is the best place to buy bitcoins? Can I buy them with a bank account or cash in my local area? (I am from Scottland) I'm certain you can. You could give localbitcoins.com a try to find someone in your area. I don't know what's the best way to buy them in Scotland, but don't use Paypal or Ebay to buy/sell Bitcoins.

(I am from Scottland) You are far better off at bitstamp.net or localbitcoins.com for fast P2P.Title: Re: New to bitcoins :) Post by: arcticfox on June 15, 2013, 11:02:22 PM I had a really difficult time finding a place to buy bitcoins when I first started this (about a month ago). Went through a ton of sites trying to find one that would allow me to buy BTC with paypal or Credit Card. I was in Afghanistan at the time, so I didn't have access to Western Union/Moneygram to deposit money that way.
I finally went with www.coinbase.com. I linked it through my bank account and have made a couple of purchases so far. It takes a while though. 3-4 days to verify your account. And then about 5 days from the time you purchase until it is deposited in your wallet. Now that I'm back in the US is might try to find another faster way.

Title: Re: New to bitcoins :) Post by: Welsh on June 16, 2013, 01:34:42 AM Localbitcoins.com is the place to be for local transactions. I personally have never traded locally, because of no one owning Bitcoins nearby. But, I'm almost certain there will be someone within 50 miles of you.

In the US I used moneygram. I did see someone mention not to use moneygram but as of yet haven't figured out why not. Worked well for me. Title: Re: New to bitcoins :) Post by: FreedomFund on June 17, 2013, 03:29:01 AM Welcome!!!
