- every off line wallet (like multibit/electrum executed without a line)
- My preferite is Kraken, but often I prefer cash out with "advcash" or local users.
- with people you can deal more fast !
- absolutely no paypal, but also skrill or neteller are often used by scammers.

i am from australia so if i use skrill or neteller would there be a conversion fee how does it work if i buying from someone or selling to someone who normally covers the fees.
so with all the different "wallets" out there are there fees for transaction and is there a minimum. also if i joined a wallet base from australia will it be possible to transact with one from us

1. https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet You cant go wrong with any of these wallets.
2. Me personally only use localbitcoins, but I dont think it fits in the category.
3. Cheaper and faster.
4. Paypal is the least safe. Skrill/Neteller are fine as long the funds are not obtained illegally nor by online gambling if you are in the US.
5. Yes

Using bitcoin doesnt matter where you are from, but there is conversion fee using skrill/neteller/paypal.

[ktru19]

so if i was to buy bitcoin off someone where would the prices be coming from eg the price displayed on google or the wallet app or an exchange price. or is it whatever you negoiate on.

Whatever is negotiated - but bitstamp and preev is usually quoted as the starting point for those negotiations.

Depending on how much btc you want/need, and you are willing to do a bank transfer (to Suncorp or ANZ) i can help you out. PM me.

Cheers

[notnormals]

It depends on who you buy it from, the current rate and the sellers percentage. You can get the current bitcoin price from here http://www.coindesk.com/price/

No Westpac. Sorry.
Probably wont be up midnight lol.
Am happy to meet f2f if you happen to be from Brissy too.
My coin is on Poloniex, and at random times it gets held up as 'pending' for a while and other times is almost instant - just letting you know as i cant do last minute or urgent deals.
Am happy to do AUS$100-200.

Welcome follow aussie, i am in Melbourne and have been using bitcoin here dor over 2 years now.
Some of your questions depend on what it is you want to do with your bitcoins once you get them.

First off to purchase bitcoin we have many good companies to do that through,  Coinjar would be my number 1 pick as they have great customer support when needed and have always been a solid player within the Australian bitcoin community.
I know some people will say stay away from them due to one of it founding members being linked to the bitconica fiasco but as long as you dont store coins on the site you will be safe.

If you are currently working then the best way to get some coins each payday would be to sign up at https://www.getpaidinbitcoin.com.au and have a portion of your wage sent directly to them and they will convert it to bitcoin for just a $1 fee, they are still in beta so if interested PM me and i can put you onto the members that run it and let you know my experiences with them.
I have used the company for almost 6 months now with never a problem.

When i am in need of some quick fiat cash then i just send some btc to my coinjar account and transfer the amount i need to the coinjar swipe card and withdrawal from any atm, whole process can only take minutes.

Or just shoot me a PM when you have something for sale and i may buy some if i need.

Bitcoin buying question? Do you mean, you have questions on buying bitcoins? If you have a question as should I buy bitcoins now, then I would suggest you to buy the bitcoins now as the price is bit less.

Buying bitcoins now will be a good idea. Now it would be a good investment to have good profit in future. The price is less now compared to earlier. So buying and saving the bitcoin now will really give a good profit.

LBC has a lot of scammers ready to scam even if the buyer sends via PayPal/Skrill. Also, Skrill/Neteller aren't good payment processors as they are knwon to block accounts anytime. They have done it twice with me and after I had verified my account and was not exchanging using their payment processors. Bitcoin wallet that is the most trusted is only blockchain.

Yeah price is comparatively lower at a moment so I think is good time to make some investments and buy coins and save it for the future to earn higher profits.

Which bitcoin wallet is recommended/why

I am using Coinbase for the past 2 years and hence would recommend that.

Which exchange is recommended/why

Virwox and Unocoin are the best exchanges. I trust them and have always managed to exchange my bitcoins through these websites.

Why would you buy off people here instead of a site (is it cheaper? if so what prices do you go by here)

Because you can use an escrow and plus you can trust users here more than on exchange websites (you can get to know if accounts are bought or not).

what is the most common/safe to do transaction on here eg paypal/skrill/neteller or other?

Perfect Money and OKPay are the best payment processors as money received from both payment methods can never be reversed.

are people on here worldwide?

Yes.
