Well, now I know there is nothing wrong with my wallet....I just boughtsome Bitcoin and sent to my electrum wallet in less than an hour.

BEST-BTC.com has not answered emails.

Should I start a thread with names and links to this scam?

Socks45... I did not want to say anything about the company until I give them time. However the name is up there, and I will PM you.

(Yes others need to know if they are just taking money and NOT delivering....if so, I doubt I am their first "customer")

charge back...is that viable option?
I think this guy required to gift money to family, so that's a problem.
Anyway, WE will have learned. I am not making this up.

NO, NO, NO.. balance has been changed... my mistake.
I have sent emails with no response

No. Not yet, but I have not paid anything (?) either....paypal says money was accepted but the balance has not changed
What does that mean?

thank you for your advise and help

Have faith.

 To me ( a very first timer) all the companies, dealers, ect... so far are confusing and often self contradictory.... it ALL smells fishy, to me. Companies like localbitcoin you advise, I think are the worst. I dunno

Its hard for me

there is a box on electrum receive page called

 "requested amount" mBTC

I left it blank, is that correct?


==========

thanks zend7.  I went with a site using paypal and 1% above market BEST-BTC.com

local bitcoins was high price and alot of work, plus I live in an area of US that makes it difficult...nearest chase bank is 100mls.
I tried LibertyX, but also nearest location  to me did not sell after all...
so I went with what I could find...please leave any feedback

okay, thank you.
I checked bitcoin.info and there is zero record of any transaction.

  The emails I have from seller show "processing"

Waiting for payment---- If you have already completed the payment, please wait few hours, payment will be processed manually.
Processing-------       Your order will be processed soon.
Completed--------       Your order has been completed. Thank you!

Order canceled   ---------Your order is canceled. If you have any questions, please contact us.

I will give another 24 hours

I made my first purchase of bit from internet vendor. I gave an address from my electrum 2.7.12 wallet.
Question: Is that all I have to do? No other inputs? .....What other inputs?

It has been 2 days. The company says this amount of time might be required for new customers on the website.
But just to be sure on my end I ask here: Have I done all that needs doing? I have left my send (receive) address from electrum with the seller. My paysite account says "payment accepted by so-n-so" (but my balance has not changed yet)

Uh yea, I guess that it. Those questions. Am I being paranoid, or did I forget something?

System or Wallet error, Recaptcha failed or address invalid!

thank you. just want to learn the way before I make the trip

I just learned that I might get "20,00" satoshi next monday. That is not a misprint on my part - 20,00.

I would like to suggest to the moderators that it would be a good idea to allow beginners an area to "beg" each other, and to practice a transaction or two....not have such posts moved from the beginners forum to the meta.

I understood what you meant . I was merely acknowledging that.

Supposedly I am getting bitcoin for reading a book. I dont know how that works, a Great Society Program for the virtually underprivileged, I suppose  

To start with, please use faucets available throughout the internet.

Okay, I am now reading a book for bitcoin. I thought faucets were something to avoid. Did not realize that was where to begin.
I just want practice before I buy bit coin.

yea, I looked at my post history and it only showed 1, no messages....I hope this is not a bad omen for my "virtual " future...things disappearing

The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you.

I found that when opening thread from computer history

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

as I recall, I jokingly made it sound like begging. The tread title "buddy can you spare a dime" I thought funny because I am really begging for help getting started with this.

Might have appeared spam, but I dont think so... it was like this:

I am new to btc. Just now learning.I have a wallet and have been studying

Is it cool to ask someone here to send me 10 cents worth BTC. I will send it back. What are fees for that? If its like several dollars, then nevermind.

Is it safe to show a "receive address" on a forum like this?

Any constructive comments are welcome.

My post is gone .... I am sure I saw it on the list. If deleted by MODS, what for?

still haven't found anything that is specific and clear as to why banks would be concerned about Bitcoin, just wanted to see if anyone already know and can give me a couple of clear reasons and explanations and....


I am also totlly ignorant, but I heard that India will be or has banned bit coin ....because of currency problem there. Look it up.
