If I have my girl brain workin right today that's a lil over $5?.  I am literally .005 under on a .2363 BTC order and hard to explain but can't break it down. If can do send to 1P3qDdVkfiLoHfTwNk6sq1vpVJPgL2fPQP

Btc is taking forever to process. 25 hours for me and no confirmations.  buy some on ebay, i might get there faster but for someone to send to you could take days thats how long jammed things are

I agree!  If you have Paypal Credit, or funds in your Paypal account, no need to use a credit card.  xcoins.io will allow you to transfer directly from Paypal to your wallet there.

There are a lot of options, but this one is not for me

Per the infodesk at Grams, transfers of at least 0.0004 are confirming much faster today.

Well, isn't that essentially the same thing? Considering I have my bank acct and cards linked via paypal.

Confused, but I am easily confused atm.

No worries - Past age 50. I've found confusion is my normal state of mind.  You're right, of course, to an extent...The trick is never to send BTC to your vendor directly from your wallet, use a BTC tumbler (launderer would be a more accurate description) such as Grams Helix or Helix Light (I prefer Helix Light, as it doesn't capture anything that would identify you).  Add a 1-5 hour transaction delay and select the "multiple transactions" option, and the purchases you make from your wallet are untraceable to you - It is like having an automated middleman / laundry.

I like the idea of human middlemen in different nations, but I get along with animals better than I do most people - And automated services that provide the entire blockchain, beginning to end, allow you to verify that your wallet ID never appears in the chain.

I won't go into mining here, as it would take forever, but if you feel like reading up on it, or asking any questions, I'd be glad to help.  I don't really care how or with whom folks spend their bitcoins, but if digital currencies are to survive in our mildly risky part of the intertubes, we need to know more about how to protect ourselves while spending them than our pals in LE do - Heck, I even download the source code for BTC apps so that I can verify it.

Having done the legwork, though, I spend a couple of nights a week creating bootable Tails USB thumb drives and DVDs that I sell for $20 each to local friends.  I suppose I could start an eBay or Amazon store to do so, but why draw attention to myself?

Regards.

I have never tumbled my coins. I just looked into Helix light and the page is down. Seems simple enough to protect yourself. Since I have never tumbled b4 on prior purchases, I gotta admit, I just got a bit paranoid. Ill look around for tumblers or try Helix light later and see if the site is up.

I'm not sure who our LE pals are, but assume they are conducting btc exchanges poorly.

The bootable tails devices you sell sound neat (after I googled it) but, I would not know how to do it. I'm honestly trying to stay away from TOR cause I hear it draws attention to ones self.

TOR is a blessing and a curse - Its main problem, like mine, is that it is getting older.  It's gotten so bad that ISPs log how much tim  e you spend on a TOR circuit just in case LE asks for it - Which is the beauty of Tails, it is so proxified  that the ISP never sees TOR traffic...And with some free tools like 'Change MAC Address', 'IP Hider Pro', 'CCleaner', 'Unhack Me', 'Tracks Eraser Pro', 'Windows Repair Pro (All In One)', 'Destroy Windows 10 Spying', 'Destroy Windows 10 Spying', and a cheap lUbuntu DMZ laptop between your router and the rest of your network, a Windows 8  / 10 PC can be made just as secure as a Tails boot - But who has time for all of that?  I'm a big believer in taking the safest, easiest route available to me, and honestly, my tiny orders would not likely even raise an eyebrow at CBP.

BTC, on the other hand, can be tumbled, laundered, middle-manned, and then stored in offline wallets such as Armory or Electrum, on different USB sticks or Cell phones (Burner phones of course, they can be had for $100 for a model with 250 minutes of talk and data - Cheap enough to avoid a trip to the pokey).  LE is still hopelessly lost with cryptocurrencies - Look what Snowden did with a Tails USB stick.  I've worked with our friends in Alexandria for almost 30 years now, and there's still no appointee who takes digital crime seriously enough to do anything about it - They'd rather chase Cartels and Organized Crime.

Anyway, don't want to bore anyone - But with a few weeks of study, a few bucks spent, and careful observation of the rules of online anonymity EVERY time you connect to the 'net, You're likely as safe as you could possibly be.  Add to that drops and physical security (to where you never touch the mail first), and you'd be invisible...But I don't spend THAT much time thinking about it!

NOTE FOR ADMIN AND MODS - I have a list of labor of love software I'd be happy to make available to the membership if you are amenable to it.  Linux, Win, MacOS, iOS, Android, and a Smaug's vault of BTC data.  Also a large cache of eBooks on how to get it all working ;-)

Regards!

Paypal btc is more expensive than buying through say coinbase., by a lot.   Someone here talked about Tumbling.

Much more expensive than anywhere I been to. Fees are outrageous.

Could you send the link for the correct Helix Light to use. I found two and they are different. https://www.helix-light.com/ and the other https://www.helixlight.us/ t

Does anyone know where we can bet btc price alerts?  Coinbase doesn't work but I'd have bought some if it was as low as @Natty Said.

@Veritas

Absolutely @Natty - I'll be spending most of the day writing a BTC article for Wired Magazine anyhow.

I was looking for something that would alert to price change in btc.  Conbase alerts done work.   I found coindera a fews weeks ago which was great when the price went down.  @Natty had posted how low it went but I don't come here every day so I missed it.
