Hello so i am new to this completely i am doing the bitvisitor crap for probably 4 hours now lol just to see if my wallet works.. i am using electrum wallet and dont really know what to set the transaction fee to? it is currently set to .0002 btc w.e that means.. was wondering what the best  site to buy bitcoins is. Where i can buy like 60$ worth but no clue if it would even go into my wallet was wondering if anyone could donate a dollars worth to see if it shows up? my recieveing code is 1Fext11s59pv6n7y79p6ZiWThFDNZ7pDYc I hope im learning this right :/

I believe you meant to post this in Beginners & Help (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=39.0). If you're curious to see how Bitcoin works, you may want to play on the test net instead of risking real money.

you can try faucets they don't give much just tiny amount.you can also buy bitcoin from bitstamp or btc-e and play around with small amount.

thanks for the info guys

If you've managed to get a transaction out of Bitvisitor, I'd leave it at that. What a waste of time. :) As far as sites to buy, where are you located? It depends on your preferences. If you want to buy relatively instantly, Localbitcoins for cash may be best. If you are in the US, Coinbase is very convenient. Otherwise, there are exchanges like Bitstamp, BTCE and Bitfinex.

But if you're just here to beg.... good luck to you. ;D

Nah not here to beg just for some info thanks for the info :D

multibit is easier to use, try this

You may set the tx fee to 0.0001 btc / KB, which is the standard fee for bitcoin tx.

You can use exchanges like bitstamp and btc-e, or platforms like localbitcoins and currency exchange subforum to buy your bitcoin.

You can buy btc easily with LocalBitcoins. Faster way is Virwox but fees are HIGH.

Also OP, this guy is giving 0.25$ in BTC, you could use that for testing:

Hey thanks just did it :D I  think anyway..  ???

Just use multibit, they are good. Easy to manage.

Bitstamp, BTCE and Bitfinex are preferable options may be you should try any of them.

There was a tutorial for btc that gave you some spare btc, but i cant find it now...

Well I just tried to get some btc through virwox and when i deposited there were no options to buy btc to i withdrew it... now im waiting on my money to show back up!!! and when i emailed them about why they have not sent my money back( they made fees so idk why they wouldnt they closed my account! I opened a dispute in paypal I hope paypall fixes it :( i dont have much money!

Yeah opened a dispute and escalated it and will be heading to bank to get my money back so i suggest if anyone knows how to blacklist https://www.virwox.com sady fucks man i add money then when i realize i couldnt not get btc i withrowl my cash and they closed my account.

From what I read, you should be able to buy SLL (Second Life Linden), and then be able to buy bitcoin with SLL, though I have never used Virwox myself.

I would suggest as a beginner you be more careful to scammers out there.Don't ever believe anyone unless you are using some trusted exchanges website.Everybody/thing appears to be perfect in this ponzi internet world

Being a beginner you need to learn many things don't just get scammed.Best of luck

Thanks for the luck i have decided not to get into this any further because btc are to hard to obtain in canada maybe a few years down the road when they are used more often i will consider giving it another go.
