Title: [2015-11-27] Coinerz: Purchase Altcoins And Bitcoin With Ease Post by: tyz on November 27, 2015, 06:35:41 PM A new way to purchase Bitcoin and altcoins is coming to the UK market — and it’s called Coinerz. The platform allows anyone from the United Kingdom to use their credit card to buy various kinds of cryptocurrency. A list of digital currencies the creators say will keep growing. Bitcoinist got together with James Malach, CTO of the team, and chatted with him about the project.

At the time of writing, they're quoting £297 for 1 BTC, but I'm seeing £247 and under on LocalBitcoins. Convenience is always tempting because I'm quite lazy, plus it avoids bank transfer fees, but it's still a bit steep.

Perhaps I was a little harsh on them at first, the difference between them and LocalBitcoins.com now is only ~£35, so I guess it fluctuates a bit over time. That seems more reasonable for avoiding the hassle of finding someone with a compatible payment method and sending off photo ID. Might consider them in future if I hear any good feedback. |
