Title: simple question Post by: 230523 on October 04, 2012, 06:08:12 PM I am new to the bitcoin world and i don't understand it well yet. I want to buy a small amount of bitcoins, like 2 or 3. I live in the UE and i want to pay them through creditcard. What do I do? I thought it would be very simple, but it seems I can't find out how to do it.

Finding someone who wants to accept credit card payments for Bitcoins is hard because Bitcoins can't be charged back while credit cards can. So what's stopping someone from buying coins, disputing the charge and refusing to give the coins back?

Its simple but takes a couple of days. then simply buy and withdraw your bitcoins.

Title: Re: simple question Post by: emuLOAD on October 05, 2012, 11:18:35 AM UE is Unione Europea / Union européenne / Unión Europea etc.
Several countries in Europe will say UE instead of EU (European Union) as it is how it is said in our local language. Regrettably credit card is really not a viable option, as said above me, for bitcoin purchase. Funding exchanges with bank transfer, however, is really much less hassle than it sounds and you can easily do it for smallish ammounts (e.g. € 50) I would suggest you use this method as it's porbably the safest and most reliable. If you only want a handful of coins to play a little, and you have a computer with a decent graphics card, another option is to earn some coins mining using some very simple solution (for instance a pool which offers an inbuilt no-work miner). You can probably earn 2 or 3 BTC in a few weeks if you have a reasonable GPU. Title: Re: simple question Post by: dentldir on October 05, 2012, 07:27:19 PM Ah. Thanks. I didn't know that about UE.

I thought it would be very simple, but it seems I can't find out how to do it. I am also new here. I just explore and read instructions. I know you will learn about it.
