never used to be. Didn't they shill dash once upon a time? I recall them posting positive stuff about bytecoin and its clones which was complete crap. The coins were all from the same group. Yeah, some trash or other. I never went back. Do you mean cointelegraph? I do not know many legit sites in the crypto world, hence everybody has a subjective view on things, so ...  I don't want to come off as a crazy old man but... Coin Telegraph was started shortly after ByteCoin was "discovered". Apparently, ByteCoin had been around for years but was just found. It claimed to only work on CPUs, not GPUs or custom stuff. It was a scam. CT were proponents of ByteCoin and ran positive stories. Someone associated with them bought my CPU hash website (see above) and quickly added CT advertising which is still there. Why is that old, outdated site still alive? Read this old post regarding ByteCoin and the related coins. There may be a few small errors but is generally correct. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=740112.0just-mike I know that thread quite well, but thanks again for sharing  As i said, there are a ton of sites out there and the "coincidents" are readable but not prooven, so i think we should skip bytecoin as it has evolved to monero. As i recall an interview with fluffy he said "The DEV of bytecoin was brilliant but an asshole!" I think it is time to move on and leave bytecoin with the other copies of monero behind, hence those are nowhere near monero, so that is enough proof for me  You "know that thread quite well"? Why? It is post about a bunch of coins that died 3 years before you registered. There are few people that would ever remember that post. Who are you? just-mike |

Thanks for the list. I am not active in the alts and was wondering what projects were worth looking at.

Coinbase is good place to start.
You can also look into Gemini or Kraken. Gemini allows ACH transfers.

We need to know your country before answering that.

Interesting question. Doing fast and cheap is very hard. May be easier with a larger amount like $1000.
Several places (Coinbase, Bitstamp?) accept Visa/MC. Using a debit card would make it instant.
Getting it from BTC back to the bank may be harder.
Any one else?

I can comment only upon exchanger. My definition of exchanger is someone that exchanges one type of currency for another. That currency can be fiat or crypto.
The answer is that it depends on the country you live in. I can only comment on the US. It is difficult. You will constantly have your accounts shut down. You will be scammed. The IRS needs its cut. It is like gambling.
I love it!

Wall of Coins allows same day purchase with cash of BTC and Dash. You search on the page what the local offers are and which bank to deposit the cash.
Going to the bank can be a major PITA (pain-in-the-ass) in my area. So many people! I tried bank deposit once at a BofA. I was told the branch would not allow me to deposit in another person's account. |

I haven't tried anything that required wire transfers until today. Just sent $ to Gemini. I didn't realize I can wire money from my online bank portal.
Kraken says they work in my state now but there is an error. I have contacted support again.
I have tried many other methods in the past for buying but none were reliable for long-term. Western Union, MoneyGram, PayPal, various credit card transfers. They all start asking questions after certain limits.

Circle shut me down before they closed shop.
I tested Gemini in the past and found $60 in my account! I will probably go back to them but I hate having funds tied up for 3-5 days.

Funny this thread should pop up again. I am looking for a new supply of bitcoin.
Kraken still does not appear to support my state. I am checking with support.
Circle shut me down.

The wikipedia article appears to have been written by the Bytecoin/Cryptonote team. |

Speaking of people around from beginning, is btc-mike back? I thought you abandoned ship long ago. You want it?
Nope. I am just here to watch the drama.  |
