I cannot disagree. However, I do wish I had looked at this forum (and at the very simple "fast start" instructions on bitcoin.com) before I pushed ahead and bought bitcoins for cash on one site and then for SLL on another!

I have spent a lot of time on this this week--just so I could fund an account on SWC and play poker--and I am still in an unknown (to me) waiting period waiting for my first transactions to process. And now SWC is down!!!

I have annoyed operators of at least 3 sites trying to clarify the process--and to get some idea of when my transactions should clear--and about all I have learned as that I have to wait 48 hours for one site, 4 days for another, and who knows how long for the third before 1) my cash purchase will be verified (they did relieve my bank account of the necessary funds, thanks) and 2) my poker account will receive the bitcoins I asked be sent to them (though that bitcoin wallet has been debited for the bicoins I sent, thanks).

Participants in this universe need to take some huge steps towards securing the trust of new users or bitcoins will never thrive. There are just too many reasons for sensible people to say "no"--if they rely on careless fools like me the empire will never go over the top!

Hey--my name is Joe, I live in MD, and everyone I talk to about bitcoins/virtual money thinks I am losing it.

Right now, I have 8 virwox vouchers to share--and no one to send them to. If voucher "holder" signs up for virwox, they get a little something, I get a little something.

Anyone interested? Or should I just post the voucher info here for first come, first serve access?

Adamemo--

Did this work for you?

I.e., did anyone respond? I have 8 vouchers and no one to share them with! I have spoken to several friends and none have heard of SL or even virtual money!

Joe
