I have bought from localbitcoins and bitbargain however you pay a premium for this and it's not always easy. I bought some and the seller didn't send my bitcoin money got stuck in escrow or something.
Anyway, the point is my grandparents should be able to do it.

I will check out bitcoin magnet.

If bitcoin is ever to become mainstream then it needs to sort out its achilles heel. That is buying bitcoin in the first place. The process should be so easy that even your gran can do it.
Unfortunately at the moment its way to complicated.

People won't buy bitcoin if they don't understand how to and if none buys bitcoin no one will spend bitcoin except geeks and criminals.

I seem to be collecting multiple registrations that I would like to buy Bitcoin from but they are either too expensive or they make it difficult to buy Bitcoin from.
I would like to buy using bank transfer.

I have tried
Bitbargain
Localbitcoins
coinbase
circle
coinfoor
btc-e

Thanks

How is it on the downside. Stop looking at the price in USD and consider the population adopting it.

Hello,

I used to use Bitcoin qt however have now upgraded to Bitcoin Core.
I was wanting to buy something online and the retailer is asking for my Bitcoin Wallet Address. Where do I find that?

Thanks

Why do You Trust Bitcoin
If you don't know who created it or why it was created?

This literally makes no sense.
Wtf do I care what inks, chemical content or patents are used. As long as it's not fake I can use it.

if you dont know how bank notes were created what inks were used or all the security features how can you truly trust that a bank note is not fake.

bitcoin is fully open and all possible answers to how its made, who made it, who continues to make it, all the security features, bla bla blah.. all questions can be answered in bitcoin, but not bank notes.

so thats why i left the question. why trust bank notes knowing bank notes have less answered questions?

the answer of course is that once you learn about bitcoin you instantly trust it more than bank notes.
i wasnt trying to troll or poke an argument. i was trying to be subtle about bitcoin being more trusting than banknotes. but only you can learn that by you learning the beauty of bitcoin.

I believe I already know the value of bitcoin
331  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do You Trust Bitcoin on: October 03, 2014, 09:50:55 PM
I trust bitcoin because i can change it for true money when i want.

I have sold like 1.4 Bitcoins now, and at last its true money. That is why you can trust on it.

So you trust Bitcoin because you can sell them for fiat?

Surely that can't be right can it?
332  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do You Trust Bitcoin on: October 03, 2014, 09:20:13 PM
If you don't know who created it or why it was created?

1.you cannot tell me the machine model numbers of the federal mint
2.you cannot tell me the ALL security features of a bank note
3.you cannot tell me the licence/patent details of the cotton paper or ink
4.you cannot tell me chemical content of the paper and ink
5.you cannot tell me the exact figure of fractional reserve right now
6.you cannot tell me what the total number of bank notes will exist in circulation in 20 years
7.you cannot tell me the name of the artists that drew/designed the latest bank notes.
8.you cannot tell me that if you stored $1million in a bank account. that you would be happy leaving it there (knowing only $250k is insured)
9.you cannot tell me if your local bank will still exist in 20 years.
10.you cannot have a conversation with the inventors and innovators of bank notes.

so why do you trust bank notes??

but with bitcoin

1. avalon, terrahash, etc
2. sha256, eliptic curve, decentralisation, difficulty
3. mit open licence
4. sha256, eliptic curve, asics. (sourcecode is fully open to read every line and detail.)
5. zero
6. 20million
7. satoshi originally, now gavin andressen, jeff garzik, etc
8. if its on a address associated to a privkey only i have, it will be there for as long as only i have it.
9. privkeys dont need banks/online wallet services/exchanges
10. anyone can talk to gavin, jeff and the rest of the bitcoin team.


This literally makes no sense.
Wtf do I care what inks, chemical content or patents are used. As long as it's not fake I can use it. what does it matter how many notes are in circulation?
I don't even really care if my local bank closes, there are 1000's more I can withdraw from. If the bank went bankrupt that would cause me concern however.

I wish I had a $million in my account. Unfortunately I will never be that lucky.

I can't believe how much money I'm losing over the past 3-4 months.

Every time I check the price it seems to go down.

So spend it. Use it for it's intended purpose.
334  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do You Trust Bitcoin on: October 03, 2014, 08:52:12 PM
Could it have a backdoor?

No as it is open source.

Rogue programmer?
Undetected?

336  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do You Trust Bitcoin on: October 03, 2014, 08:11:44 PM
I know nothing of the code involved or really how it works but it seems strange to me how it arrived and we all trust it yet we have no idea if it's part of something bigger.

Thanks, I didn't know Expedia accepted Bitcoin.
I was thinking more along new technologies to make the process smoother, clearer and quicker than just adoption.

I know a few select pioneer stores accept Bitcoin but how long till we see that in Wallmart?

I have no idea what Pow mining is.
340  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / How Could Bitcoin Evolve? on: October 03, 2014, 06:52:59 PM
Sorry if this has been discussed before but I was wondering how Bitcoin could evolve over the next 10 years or so.

I guess the best thing would be if  shops would accept Bitcoin at the terminal as well as paying for things like flights online with it.
Aside from this though, what kind of things could happen to Bitcoin?

I saw that there is a 'new' wallet which is like a lite version that means you don't need to download the whole blockchain.

Thanks.
