Title: African BTC exchanges
Post by: aminorex on August 30, 2014, 04:11:10 PM
If you have an exchange, know of an exchange, or even just want to buy and/or sell btc or xmr in Africa, please list your contact here.

Personally, I have a pressing need to send funds to N'djamena, Tchad, ASAP.  I will probably have to use Western Union, and I may vomit.   To avoid this in future, I am creating this thread.

What you need?
A exchange located in Africa, or just provide services but not in Africa, or providing African Currency transfer?

A local CAF buyer of BTC in N'Djamena.

That is too specific I am afraid. There are a few exchangers in Nigeria and South Africa of course. Maybe they can handle it?

The closest exchanges or dealers that I can think of would be in Nigeria.

money-express.com you can send to the Chad Post office for pickup or just find somebody who trades bitcoins for Western Union.

Anybody crazy enough to attempt an African bitcoin exchange you could try an Ecobank corporate account to receive cash at any of their branches http://www.ecobank.com/solutinos_c.aspx however a quick google reveals the tellers often screw this up, and paying out probably requires a pile of red tape and huge fees though.
