Hi everyone, I was just wondering if it would be a bad choice to buy BTC via moneygram from another person? I do not see any problems as long as the person is "trusted." I was just asking for saftey, plus i would like to be able to actually do something on this forum other than post in the newb section.
I tried moneygram via bitinstant and had a horrible experience. It just so happened to be administered by zip zap and the process was painful and complicated. I then tried sending a post office money order to CampBx and it went through in a week or so. CampBx is great for USD => BTC.
If you are exchanging with someone, just do it in person if at all possible.
