Lol privat bank in russia, interesting. They might loose license soon. BTW it seems some larger Russian bank bought them. Btw creative tip Smiley

Hi, im new to the forums and bitcoin. Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but it seems to be the most suitable one.

Anyway, i was wondering whether its possible to obtain bitcoins from a prepaid credit card. These are usually sold under a gift card section in the shop, and theyre usually a visa or american express card where i live, with different values (i live in the UK). I have checked coinmama.com and they said they do not accept any form of gift card. I have also heard of bitcoin gift cards, but i dont think these are sold around here.

If anyone knows of a service that does this or whether its possible at all, any help would be appreciated. Smiley

You can do it using liqpay. https://secure.privatbank.ru/?do=index_new .. once you have topped up your liqpay account using the debit card you can move the funds to btc-e or bitstamp using https://technocashier.com/reg.php?lang2=

The fees aren't too bad.. but not great either (probably around 6-8% in all). I have used it with www.idtprime.com prepaid mastercards that you can buy in most convenience stores.
