Howdy all,
Welcome

Holy... SHIT. I can't believe how hard it is to put AUD money into Bitcoins. I saw an Aussie exchange, and they happily take my money, the love that part. But they can't convert them into Bitcoins... what the fuck? What the hell was the point? At least they gave it back when I withdrew it (and I knew he lived 1/2 hr from me so I would've gone over with a bat if he didn't).
So - here I am the last couple of days in my long fruitful adventure, and looked to btc-e.com as the exchange of choice, and seen what providers it accepts for payment. Checked them all out but bloody hell... You go to their site, they're like 'we're awesome, we take money from you and put it over there, like a baws'. Then you go to sign up, OH NAH MATE, CAN'T TAKE IT UNLESS YOU SEND IT FROM THESE OTHER FUCKERS FIRST.
You might skip exchanges in generall and use localbitcoins (meet in person/use wire transfer they provide escrow) or meet with someone you meet here.
What the hell.. Since when was it so hard to give people my money?
So I found Payeer because they actually accept CC directly, that site's written in fucking Russian. Their error messages, email correspondence they send you, half Russian half English. Google translate is my friend. So here I am translating what the fuck these support guys are saying to me regarding 'verification' and I guess I've come this far so I'll go through with the process soon enough. At some spots you can translate it but their emails are fun to translate when they're in Russian.
I dont know, that doesnt sound good to me.
So about 20-30 hours of reading and thus far I only have 4 Dogecoins to my name thanks to a faucet I found... other than that, not worth shit!
So you can poke fun if you like, or if you know of any recent ways AUD can be converted into Bitcoin let me know. I saw a few posts regarding that already but some seemed aged or the sites in question no longer operate.
Any recent info welcome! If you read this far, you must be very bored.
Exchanges are usually a bit of a pain and wont tons of materials (proof of residency, etc.). So as I wrote above, meet in person, exchange directly. You might not get the best rates, but you can get your coins fast and secure (use escrow).
