Yeah local bitcoins has worked so far for me, just make sure to conduct any face to face deals in public so you don't get mugged.
I done the deal, all went fine. Kinda hard to count £1000 in a very public place, was more worried someone else was going to mug me, not to mention it looked like a drug deal.
You can get around that by just announcing at the top of your lungs "THIS IS NOT A DRUG DEAL". That should keep your £1000 safe
Putting privacy to one side, the reason why bitcoin is useful is because it's so damned convenient. No longer do we need to pay outrageous international transfer fees to wire money between two people, no longer does it take days to send money to people, no longer do we need to worry about frozen accounts like we do with Bitcoins.
Re: "John Dillon" We can leak things too you trolling piece of shit
Would probably help if you/someone quoted the relevant parts.
Or maybe I'm the only lazy one here.
No you're not, this is impossible to read and comprehend in its current state...Or maybe I'm the only lazy one here.
That's a releif, I thought I was lazy/incompetent
That's pretty shitty. Glad you got the coins in the end. I had to close my Mt Gox account because they don't let people under 18 get an account, and I couldn't be bothered whipping out Adobe Photoshop to edit my Driver's License
Re: Vote for the removal of Mike Hearn as Chair of the Bitcoin Foundations Law & Pol
he is representing the interest of US gov , not bitcoin community , expel him.if they dont , we should think about to find a replacement of btc foundation
Or we could just make our own foundation. Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's second Bitcoin foundation. We will be that foundation. Better than it was before. Better, stronger, faster.
In hindsight that quote didn't work as well as I hoped
I'd take a look at http://bitcoin-otc.com/
I did a transfer on Local Bitcoins a couple of days ago and it worked fine. I suggest that you require that traders submit a picture of government-issued ID when they purchase for the first time (or if they have a low number of trades). That way, if the funds get frozen by your bank you'll have some evidence of the fraud.
Buying the coins with cash should be safe but I suggest you follow the guide https://localbitcoins.com/guides/cash-exchange-howto on their website on how to conduct the trades safely.
Also, just because I'm curious, what happened on Mt Gox?

Bought 10BTC for $9.70 back when you use paypal on mygox. Donated to faucets bought a nerdbadge.
Found an old wallet the 2BTC a couple of months ago and got into mining.

That's pretty bloody good! Do you still have those bitcoins?
Re: Think Litecoin will see the same growth as Bitcoin?
I don't personally believe that Litecoin will grow to as big as Bitcoin, but it's way too early to speculate on this in my opinion. Bitcoin was first introduced in 2009, that's 4 years ago. Litecoin came out in 2011, two years later.
