Am I Missing Something, Why Make Receiving Bitcoins Difficult?

[Gervais]

Contrary to popular belief bitcoin is very simple to use. In fact, I find it to be as simple as using paypal and even easier than setting up online banking. I think bitcoin seems confusing and scary to the general public but this will change over time.

If giving them btc or telling a noob to get a payment from you from btc all you need is

Step1: Go to www.electrum.org download and install electrum; save keys

Step 2: Click receive address button, copy n paste addy and send to whoever wants to send you bitcoins

Step 3: Done

Takes literally a few minutes to setup and receive btc

You can buy bitcoin with paypal on Virwox, localbitcoins and some other places. Be warned that you are going to pay a high price because of the chargeback risk to the seller.
