Hi, Im at the conceptual stage of a developing a free secure anonymous bitcoin exchange website that enables UK based sellers like you to turn your bitcoins into UK money easily and risk-free.

Before I begin development, I was hoping to pick your brain about what you would ideally want such a service to provide, so that I can develop a system that is better than what you currently use.

I hope you can take just a few seconds to answer my questions below so that I can plan out how best to serve the community.

This survey is only for people who need to convert bitcoins into UK money (GBP). If you are one of these people then please answer all other questions below by inserting a ‘V’ into any boxes that apply.

2.   How often do you need to exchange Bitcoins into GBP? Daily [ ]  Weekly [ ]  Monthly [ ]
3.   What is your preferred service for changing bitcoins into Great British Pounds (GBP)?  Enter Service: [          ]
4.   Does your current service for exchanging bitcoins into GBP charge you a commission?   Yes [ ]    No[ ]
5.   When you exchange Bitcoins for GBP, is the exchange rate offered to you more, the same as, or less than the current market value of your bitcoins? More [ ]  Same [ ] Less [ ]
6.   Would you change from your existing bitcoin exchange method to a new service if the new service ensured that all of the following were true:

Finally this bitcoins stuff is actually starting to make sense. You have explained this so well and you hyave solved my problem. Thanks so much!!   

is the 'public/private key' the same as the alpha numerical address to where i sent the BTC?

So can I install any new client and input my public/private key and then my bitcoin will appear?

Very interesting. So when the blockchain is downloaded, can will my BTC be in both Bitcoin QT and Armory?

Assuming that it is in both can i just uninstall Armory and simply use Bitcoin QT as my wallet instead
OR do I need to transfer from Armory to Bitcoin QT before i uninstall Armory.

is it worth keeping Armory since the computer that Armory is installed on is connected to the web or does having Armory on an online PC void the benefit of Armory dispite the fact that Armory always says its offline anayway?

Okay that sounds pretty simple. I installed Bitcoin QT and its syncing but looks like its gonna take a whole day  to sync is this normal?
Right now its at 1 percent synced and no coin showing up yet.

Once the sync is complete and coin shows up do I move the coin to a new wallet using Bitcoin QT or Armory? Both seem to have the same send /recieve ability

Thanks again K1773R

Hi, if you use Armory please read this post and share any advice that you have.

I am new to the whole bitcoin scene. I didn't read the Armory instruction manual and so I accidentally lost my first and only bit coin. Having now read the Armory instructions I still don't know how to recover my coin so here I am asking for your advice.

What Happened?
I purchased a bit coin from bit bargain
I dowloaded & installed armory wallet on one computer which is connected to the web
Within Armory I clicked 'Recieve' and generated an address.
I input this exact address into bitbargain and the coin sent (it now has 15 confirmations).
I checked my armory and the coin never arrived (I'm writing this 12 hours after the coin was sent).

Armory says its off line even though I am connected to the web. I suspect this is because it is not meant to go online as its an offline wallet.
I dont really have a second 64 bit computer to set up Armory properly as per Armory instuctions and Im not sure that if I did it would help.

All I want to do is (a) see my coin (b) move my coin to a new simple wallet (c) spend my coin

I cant be fussed with all this armory business of having two computers and a memory stick. I just want a simple solution for storing bitcoins. But first I need to get my bitcoin back!

Please please help!

Yours gratefully,
Dripfeed
