looked it up for you people,
currently £ 9.30 instead of £8.892 at gox or less at bitstamp
Again what does this mean? If you are referring to bitbargain and the sellers there, this is an person-person trading platform, its not an exchange.
For UK users the fastest/cheapest method to get coins atm is blockchain.info (no its not mtgox @ 8.82 or whatever you are referring to, you cannot even deposit there without an international wire/SEPA)
bitbargain, or me personally will be cheaper than blockchains 6% fee, im not sure what exactly you looked up
For bitstamp, transferwise is a £1 fee. It should work in less than 2 hours but I usually find it's at least 24hours so yes pretty slow. I think the holdup is in the SEPA zone from Transferwise to Slovenia.
p2p exchange of course has tons of advantages. I just wish people would use Gox as the benchmark more for deciding prices. I say Gox because that is widely known. I've always offered the market rate but I usually see other people trying to make a buck selling
BTC at a higher rate and not getting their offer matched. Personally I wouldn't be bothered with a few $ here and there for the sake or duking it out over a few cents. Why not match to the guide rate?
Use bitbargain if you can get a deal that matches the market. But if you can live with working in the banking system transferwise and bitstamp seems to be a good system for folk in the UK.
