Would like to purchase 1 BTC

[ShittyBitcoinDrawer]

Or just use https://localbitcoins.com/ and pay with cash.

Problem with localbitcoins is the closest place is still a distance from me.

What country are you located in?

Canada, closest place would be Toronto or Markham for me.

This is exactly why I believe the future of bitcoin exchange for newbies will be in workforce development, not cash-for-coin exchanges. It's just too difficult to break into still (and possibly in the future depending on law changes and exchange longevity), but there is always work ready to be done in exchange for coins.

@OP: Why not change the title of your thread to "Will do any job for 1 BTC" and I bet you'd get a dozen PMs for various small tasks.

For some reason I just don't feel people will be that willing to give up 1 btc for a small task, considering it is approx. $20 at the moment.

We sell to people though facebook who have new accounts they just have to load a picture of their drivers licence to us through gmail. The pay pal and drivers licence and any other information must match. I am currently out of coins I used the one I had last night to buy litcoins with. I will let you know when i get more. Thanks

Why don't you try it and see what jobs are offered?

Someone offered me 5 BTC a while ago to make a CSS template for them. Someone else is charging 0.01 BTC to draw a picture. The market around here is not exactly "fixed" so you may have to work for the opportunity, but I guarantee you'll get more luck with that than this.

I'll tell you what.  Lets flip the risk around, and I'll do the trade for you.  Do you have the ability to acquire U.S. currency anywhere nearby?

If so, send me a PM for my mailing address.  Mail me a U.S. $20 bill, and include your bitcoin address in the envelope.  When I receive it, I'll transfer you 1 BTC.

That way you get the bitcoin at a slight discount (MtGox Weighted Average is currently $20.40), I don't have to take a risk with someone that doesn't have a reputation yet, and you get a chance to build up your reputation around here a bit.

This offer is only good if I receive the PM from you before 2013-02-05 23:59:59 UTC

Of course in this situation you take all the risk.  Risk that I'll tarnish my reputation to steal $20 from you, and risk that the envelope will get lost in the mail.  If you want to reduce that risk a bit, pay for confirmation of delivery.  That way you'll at least know whether or not I received the envelope.

If you looking on bitcoin otc ( http://bitcoin-otc.com/ ) you can search for people willing to sell for BTC. They usually charge about 5-10% premium due to the added risk.

Have you given otc a shot, yet?

[sublime5447]

Be careful using otc!

[deadweasel]

Be careful using otc!

How to be careful using OTC?  What rating did the person have when you had a bad experience?

Looking for insight into OTC>  Thanks!

I have written a previous post about some of the things to look out for on bitcoin-otc I think it was titled "beware bitcoin-otc".

@OP: Do let us know when you post your thread about doing work for BTC, I would be happy to send people your way if possible. Otherwise I suppose it's time to move to a new username and start over as everyone will probably remember you as a scammer.

[sublime5447]

Mathew you are the one with scammer next to your name? I think you are a scammer and he is just trying to get a coin for pay pal. If he up loads me his driver licence i will sell to him as soon as i get more coins. I see you posting a lot why do you have scammer X's?

[BTC4PPGBP]

i would be happy to do this but not for standerd mtgox rate. + 15% tax then youve got a deal.

[DannyHamilton]

. . . I see you posting a lot why do you have scammer X's?

Many months ago, he made a really big bet on something he was absolutely sure about.  The bet was far more than he could cover if he lost, but he never dreamed he would lose the bet.  Once it was obvious that he had lost he bet, he was unable to pay in full.  He has made an effort to make partial payments, but once he failed to deliver on the bet in a timely manner he got tagged as a scammer.

Really it is more like an immature mistake than a scam, but the end effect is the same (some people expecting to be paid weren't paid the amount they expected).

So that would come to 23.67 CAD?
