newbie look for help to buy BTC

[unholycactus]

Thanks but Kraken do not accept credit card (canadian) or without any ID identification and virwox is sooo complicate.. buy linden sell linden exchange linden its so weird for me !
for me the best at this time is where unholycactus said to buy : http://satoshicounter.com/
thanks to all

Edit: Circle do NOT accept any canadian bank or CC too but they accept our register ? this let me think they are not absolutely right in my opinion

Circle used to have plans for Canadians, not sure what happened to them.
They ended up blocking my american credit card while in Beta because I was Canadian.

Just create a account in localbitcoins.com just open a trade with the trader according to trust and trade count. Then go with the trade to that specified person. Your fund will under escrow whether in fiat or bitcoin. So once trader send a money or bitcoin you then check it and release the bitcoin.
Its very simple to use to dude. Check with that.

I'm pure newbie and I'm looking for buying few BTC, not many for now but may be more soon. I'm looking to know the step to do without hassle. I already downloaded Bitcoin 0.11.2 since one week and I run it at night.. I need 30 weeks to go updated...
I Know that I have to open an account with some like kraken site but not familiar with giving ID and other private infos over Internet.
Thanks to help

Check kraken, localbitcoins or coinbase these three are very much well known and trusted among the Europeans. It will help you to buy and sell bitcoin easily.

That someone needs to have a reputation on this forum and even if they are highly trustworthy, you need to check their trust list to see if their password has been changed or not as users even sell their accounts here. Use an escrow in case of doubt else you can try localbitcoins which is safer.

Unfortunately the safest exchanges require identification. I suggest that you check online wallet and exchange that you can see in my signature. It is certainly one of the safest on the market.
As you wrote, you're newbie here, so whenever someone suggests something like I'm doing now. Very carefully check everything. This forum has a lot of content. So the easiest way to find what you are looking for is to use search engine at the top right of the page.

The OP wants a website where he has not to verify his ID and only localbitcoins is right for him where he can have cash deals without verifying the identity. Else there are many trusted websites which need an identity proof while exchanging coins.

Localbitcoins

About localbitcoins, is it safe to make transactions there ?

What I have to check about the sellers to be sure that all is good ?

I understand that localbitcoins is a wallet too, I will receive the BC bought on it but is it easy to transfer to my personal wallet like Bread in my iphone ?

thanks for help

Its safe Just check the total trade of the trader whom you are choosing and check about his recent trade as well. most esential one Don't release your bitcoin before you receive the fiat to your bank account.
Then your fund will be safe under escrow So no need to worry about it.

Coinbase is based in San Francisco, California, so yes it is American company.
To be honest, even Pentagon was hacked few times, so yes they can be hacked.

If you want to know more, just read attached articles or google about Coinbase - everywhere you will have this same informations - atm it is the most secure wallet and exchange online.

If your located in the USA coinbase is the best way IMO.

Outside the USA I couldn't tell you. I would localbitcoins also, might pay a little more but you don't have to give bank account info and an ID if that stuff throws you off.

even if hes outside U.S i still suggest coinbase. im currently in canada and i always use coinbase to buy/sell my coins, its just so simple and easy

Yes, without revealing your ID you can buy bitcoins either in a physical person to person meet up or through PM in Currency exchange section with an Escrow. There are other forums as well where you can buy bitcoins like TBN.

You shouldn't get scared of verifying your identity with reputed options like kraken as they are very trusted. Even circle.com is highly trusted and the websites that verify users should be trusted more than those that don't use any verification as you can meet more scammers on those websites. It's better to be safe and go through the verification.

Its better to do trade based on the country you reside. If you are from European nation its better to use kraiken, else try using local bitcoins which seems secure and easy to do trade.
