Can you share a link to your localbitcoins profile, either in this thread or by PM?  I'm considering my options between buying from local sellers, either online or cash in person vs. joining an exchange but prefer for local option.

Hello, I am a new and so I post in this section.    I see the OP seems to target newbies but what I wonder is why not post in the Marketplace > Currency exchange section  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0  or post as an official exchange business?

Thank you for this.  Is there a guide for those who are new to reading financial chart indicators, for example O , amplitude and V ?

Hello everyone, I'm thinking of signing up at BTC-E and would like to get a preview of the sign up process, ideally with screen shots if that's possible.   I see they ask you to enter your email address, choose a login and password, then enter some digits to prevent bots from completing the process I guess.   But what happens next?   Do you have to fill in your name, address , etc?
The reason I ask this is because I am thinking of buying some btc or ltc locally or if this fails, just btc, then trade for ltc and finally withdraw to a wallet, but want to avoid sending all my personal information papers to this exchange if I can avoid it because I am not comfortable.   I don't know who the owners are, what's their precise address and really I don't even speak Russian or Bulgarian, so if there's a problem, a translator needs to be summoned.

VPN or Tor?   IIRC, there are warnings on some sites that your account could get restricted, but since encryption and privacy are important to many users, do the sites allow it, provided that you comply with their KYC/AML verification requests?  Or is the use of VPN/Tor generally frowned upon?

Another thing, is there a thread here that discusses which exchanges in North America and/or Europe allow their customers to enable PGP so they can encrypt any email communications to you?   

Lastly, thank you for this site and its dedicated members; I've bookmarked several threads on wallet set up and safety issues for later review.
