Title: Going from BTC to Real USD
Post by: KnuttyD on April 24, 2011, 11:05:37 PM
I was wondering what you guys do to convert your generated Bitcoins to real cash? I see there is a service bitcoin2cc (https://www.bitcoin2cc.com/ (https://www.bitcoin2cc.com/)), but I have Liberty Reserve funds right now that I want to convert.
Once you go from btc -> mtgox -> liberty reserve, which exchange service do you personally use to convert that to USD?
I heard ExchangeZone is popular, but it has been down a while for maintenance.
Thanks!

Maybe this was posted in the wrong section?
I havent been able to find any other information on this in other posts.

Yeah, this is the real trick.  I'd also like to know how people are making this transaction.  At the end of the day, I need to pay for the power that my miner is consuming and as it turns out my power company doesn't accept BTCs as payment.

I suggest you sell your mtgox USD directly, without passing through LR.

There is an 800$ minimum for the direct deposit though, correct?

From Mtgox :

"Send Money
Send USD or BTC for free to anyone with an email address.
You can send money to anyone with an email address. If they have a Mt Gox account the funds will show up in their account. If they don't have one then they will be emailed instructions for claiming their money. "

No indication about such USD 800 minimum.

Thats just sending money. So how would I use that to wire money to a bank account, or have cash sent to me? I need USD that I can put in a bank account, so I can pay my electric bill.

The buyer of your mtgox USD can send you a bank transfer, Paypal, Western Union.
