Bitcoin Forum

I'm looking to buy a bitcoin miner (mostly for fun). I can't seem to figure out how to convert cash into bitcoin (yes, I have a wallet and am already part of Slush's pool). Could someone please help me with this? I was thinking about getting the Antminer S5 or an S4 if I can find a deal. Thanks guys.

you could try coinbase.com, they sell bitcoins but take a week to confirm payment on the coins. Also if interested bitfinex and bitstamp do bitcoin transactions as well as cryptsy. if you are interested in looking at prices for most companies, these aren't with service fees the company may charge.

I have heard that Circle now enables most ways to buy btc, anecdotal though as I have not yet used the service

For creditcard/debit card, circle its the best way to go, there's a limit on withdrawing $1000 usd / week and buying $500 usd per week

If you want to buy with cash you can try localbitcoins or currency exchange area, there are several people that are willing to sell bitcoin for skrill, neteller, etc..

Do not forget to try the btc-e exchange

localbitcoin should do the trick, or find someone locally in your zone

Another option, although fees can be steep is virwox. They charge between 0.30-0.50 + 3.5% depending on your currency. You will also spend some money converting from USD (or your currency) to BTC. They have daily/monthly withdraw limits as well.

I also recommend them. :D

If you're not from the US, you could also ask in your country's sub forum.

That's how I found coins.ph. :) Most convenient for people in the Philippines.

virwox is a good place to start!!! www.virwox.com

VirWox is the only place with credit card, but they charge too much. With cash - localbitcoins is best for you.

It's not the only place. Coin.mx accepts and charges 8% or something like that which is much cheaper then virwox and a ok rate for someone buying with a credit or debit card.

it depends on any exchanges support cash or credit card? may you can buy them on localbitcoins which is a p2p markets

www.247exchange.com/buy (http://www.247exchange.com/buy) accepts credit & debit cards. Cash deposits are also supported, but only in Australia.

I personally like Local bitcoin because you can get the bitcoin quickly and you don't need all this info and credit cards. Putting all that info into another gox 2.0 scares me.

https://localbitcoins.com/ Is a great place to buy btc with cash if you want to do it f2f.

Circle, Coinbase if you are in the US

localbitcoins is another option

coin.mx is a site that lets you use credit card. Limits at a few hundred but has generally been reliable.

Anyone know if it's charged as a purchase or cash advance?

as purchase, fee 2.8% , you can also try trucoin if you are on the USA

This site is very good and well reputable.

virwox is nice too. But taking the cost is too high.

You can buy/sell bitcoin with payza easily and to deposit in payza account is very easy from many parts of the world. Other wise with physical cash yo can buy directly from some person of your area.

Circle for Credit card. And localbitcoins for Cash.

WOw, you just said the same thing the guy before you said. There are stores which can allow you to buy prepaid bitcoin cards with balance. Might be good for buying with cash.
