Anyone can explain the content of Bloc #335519 ?

Looks like it generated 50 new BTC instead of 25 BTC.

Re: Best way to buy bitcoins in SWITZERLAND

Thanks for your answers.

What is the problem you have with localbitcoins? Is it about the slightly higher price?
Sellers on localbitcoins usually ask for 5% above the price on exchanges, but you can get your bitcoin fast.

Localbitcoins is OK but not that convenient. I see some drawbacks.
1) The price is higher, more like 10-15% higher on localbitcoin.ch which is a pain.
2) You need to wait 3 working days usually before receiving your bitcoins
3) Time consuming. Adding new bankIDs etc..

Thanks for the paymium tip. Looking into this, but I would like to avoid France as much as possible (Trac.FIN).

Also looking forward to coinfeine, but that's not for tomorrow apparently ...

I have always wondered what was so appealing in Ripple.

Maybe chipmadness can enlight me.

Ripple has a sort of central bank (the founders) that own over 80% of the existing XRP. So you need to trust them and hope they won't flood the market with there xrp. You also need to trust gateways. That's alot of third parties you need to trust.

Ripple as a technology may be interestering. Ripple as an investment doesn't make sense imo.

Hi,

Does anyone have a convenient way to buy bitcoins in Switzerland ?

I tried LocalBitcoins, but I don't find it too convenient. Bitcoin ATMs as well.

Anyone tried SBEX and would like to share feedback ?
