Title: Coin.mx Please Help Post by: JCBman on March 04, 2014, 09:41:20 PM I popped my Bitcoin cherry this morning. I bought 1.02. Exciting! Only I cant use it. When I attempt to transfer it, I get an "error internal server 500" message. Since 8AM this morning that is the error I get.
I used a site called coin.mx. Is anyone familiar with them? Is this a scam? Is there a processing time I am unaware of? I reached out to their help desk and they created a ticket. "Sara" said she would get back to me in 24 hours. Oh thanks because by that time (and now) the coin I wanted has risen exponetially. Anyway, just hoping to hear if I should stick with these guys or call my bank and cancel. How does the average Joe buy a bitcoin anyway?! Title: Re: Coin.mx Please Help Post by: OROBTC on March 04, 2014, 09:58:59 PM There are two ways I have bought Bitcoin:
1) Find a local via localbitcoins.com (http://localbitcoins.com). I used the service to just get names & emails, then contacted them privately by email (that is, not within the localbitcoins site). I bought for cash in person. At Starbucks (of course). 2) Go to popular places (like here or zerohedge.com (http://zerohedge.com)), provide an email and ask who will accept CA$H for BTC by mail (snail-mail). This requires some trust... *** The advantages to each of the above are that you leave no wire-transfer trail... :) I have bought BTC at least two times using each method above. YMMV! Good luck!
