Title: Buy Bitcoins in the UK Post by: plmkop100 on August 23, 2013, 03:03:54 PM I have previously transacted with Bitcoins using Blockchain and was hoping to transact again but it seems Blockchain doesn't allow transfers to the wallet in the UK.
I have had a nose around the net trying to find another wallet provider but frankly I am confused & scared by all the warnings, unavailable exchanges and the complexity in trying to transact! Therefore, can anyone recommend an reputable exchange? I can work out how to transact if not too complex (damn newbies ;o), but and pointers would also be very helpful. Thanks in advance :D Title: Re: Buy Bitcoins in the UK Post by: rdcpsi on August 23, 2013, 08:50:49 PM Would be interested in what you find.
Purchasing Bitcoin from within the UK is not as straightforward or as fast as much of the rest of the world. I've used Bitstamp in the past to both purchase and sell without problem, however transfers do take awhile.

Title: Re: Buy Bitcoins in the UK Post by: cryptasm on August 23, 2013, 10:11:02 PM https://localbitcoins.com/ (https://localbitcoins.com/) is good for buying bitcoin in the UK.
I use electrum wallet http://electrum.org/ (http://electrum.org/), saves having to download the blockchain. Title: Re: Buy Bitcoins in the UK Post by: Stinky_Pete on August 23, 2013, 10:23:34 PM I use bitbargain.co.uk
Use the 'official' wallet and become a proper node in the network. Title: Re: Buy Bitcoins in the UK Post by: plmkop100 on August 24, 2013, 07:34:23 AM Thanks all for the replies.

Yes, you can find new customers to trade with on that site. Title: Re: Buy Bitcoins in the UK Post by: RapidCoinz on August 24, 2013, 10:19:05 AM UK is notoriously harder than most places to buy bitcoins. If starting out, just bounce between www.localbitcoins.com and www.bitbargain.co.uk. You can forge relationships with people int he community and it is an easy experience to get your hands on some coins... :)
