1  Economy / Service Discussion / iOS woes BitWallet--> BCoiner(!!!) on: December 17, 2017, 12:47:12 AM
Howdy, all. I confess to being a royal idiot. I just want to know if what I propose to do is the best sol'n.
If there is some other thread that has dealt w/ this type of tomfoolery, pls supply a link, TIA.

On MacOSX using FireFox. Wanted a iPhone wallet for convenience.
Had (!) 100 US$ and GOOGLEed around for beginners' guide to BTC.
Found buybitcoinworldwide.com and followed their suggestions as I like PayPal. 
They recommend VirWox.com as converting platform
Tried using PayPal-->Virwox-->SLL-->BitCoin-->BreadWallet (iPhone).                            BTW BreadWallet is now Bread
 I'm a new VirWox user, therefore limited to 100$ approx to convert into SLL currency.
Tried logging into new BreadWallet account but forgot my login numerical key.
Panicked, tried deleting Bread, thinking I would create a new user account L8tr.
24h L8tr, VirWox emailed saying my account was high risk and refunded my $$ (less conversion fees) to my PayPal acct.
Topped up Virwox account (15$ fees approx for 2 conversions) and re-submitted.
Rushing like an idiot, Reinstalled Bread but didn't realize I was downloading BCoiner instead of Bread.
Opening iOS app (Bcoiner) smelled a rat when the key was so small I needed to fetch a magnifying glass.
Opened this forum, searched Bcoiner....... OH SH*T.... You all feel Bcoiner is at best shabby/ At worst a scam
Now hoping that Virwox will again refuse and refund my $$ and allow me to do something else.
Reinstalled _Bread_... Curiously, the AppStore did not suggest Bcoiner again this time.
     (After I calmed down, I remembered my PW for Bread).

If VirWox accepts the transaction I'll try to Bcoiner-->Bread and again swallow the fees
If that doesn't work, I'm probably out 100$ and that's over with.

Question: if I cough up another 100$, and I want to use an interface w/double keys (eg Electrum) is there a way to keep the fees to a minimum?
TIA
