Yeah, this is pretty much the norm, I think bitbargain is affiliated with coinbase or just the UK version of it too. 

 
@a360 hi could you give me any companies for buying bitcoin and which wallet to use from the UK to phillinnies , id be very grateful as every where seems to be going bit coin ☺

 
Rec, send me a PM if you like. I use Coinbase (expensive on transactions and localbitcoin.co.uk (cheaper but more of a faff to set up trades where traders require details to identify you and confirm you are who you say you are).

Twenty minutes tops to get set up on localbitcoin.co.uk as long as you have your passport to hand and a phone to take your picture, sounds ominous but it is not really.

Read up on multi-factor authentication as well and be prepared to download google authenticator or similar for I-device.

Months ago Coinbase acceped cc's, but now it is debit cd OR direct bank info only - not sure when they changed but it was in the last six months....

Hi @Rec, I've always had great success with bitbargaindotcodotuk. 

 
@tanked I am wondering if your personal wallet is the issue.  Would it be possible to try another personal wallet?  Maybe Bitcoin Wallet or something similiar?

 
I am using the recommended wallet and bit coin to make a donation here. Are these good vendors to use for bitcoin? I don't want to mess up just making a $20 transaction. Thank you for any advice you can provide - never used it before.

 
Coinbase is the absolute worst! They double dip, hold transfers... Definitely get another wallet and keep an eye on your bank account. They just cost me a lot.

 
Coinbase sucks, but it might be the easiest platform for newcomers to DEPOSIT and get BTC, then transfer to another wallet. The double dipping is very annoying, but I suppose it is worth it. I simply can't order as much as I do and always use WU or whatever (which also takes a nice little fee for themselves).

I have never had an Xfer frozen. Do you mean to another wallet or to  a bank? @Gracie5

Yes, to my outside wallet, @HeirCroc1. It was horrible because by the time it was released, bit had fallen a lot. I agree, it’s the easiest. But I’ve had double dipping twice, and that cost- after verifying- plus the overdrafts, and now my bank keeps calling...it has been a stressful experience. I am trying to find a better experience for buying, but I still have CB for selling (if I ever recoup the loss).

I've heard stories. Someone I know that has a legal retail operation had 22.2k in coinbase (which is dumb as hell, but he did not know) and coinbase froze the funds. They NEVER gave an explanation.

 
Also, sorry they fucked you. Have you researched other exchanges?

 
Really sad to hear the horror stories.

I have not had such a bad time, for sure the transaction costs are very high and at times it can take hours to settle a trade. I use localbitcoin, it is fast and good exchange. Never had a problem with them.

Localbitcoin security is tight though so be ready to jump through hoops to perform a buy trade with proving who you are, but you only ever really need to do this once.

PM me for any help required for localbitcoin.

 
Thanks so much- i realize my comment was misplaced, as this is not the right topic- I really do agree that CB or maybe even Paxful would be easiest for small amounts, like for new members. Paxful uses giftcards, etc., and is very similar to LocalBitcoin, but I think Local is safer. 

I have 3 others now! That’s too many, so @kinsona, I may have some questions, as Local is what I am inclined to keep.

Yes, @HeirCroc1, I did. They actually closed my first account, and I had nowhere even remotely close to your friend. That’s so awful!

New members, just don’t ever use the CB wallet to make donations to the forum! I learned that the hard way. They will freeze and close your account.

 
@Gracie5 exactly. For donating CB is fine. When you start talking larger amounts, find a different exchange.

Edit: I mean to say CB is fine for depositing, but then you must transfer to a different wallet and donate.

  1. T @ Tinyfishnemo: Hope everyone has a good and safe weekend.
  2. T @ tylerderrden: Dunno
  3. S @ soupson: What happened to chem genie?
  4. D @ drdrizzy13: LSU is trash and has always been trash but a night game in death valley is unlike anything I've experienced. Except the first game back to the superdome reopened after Katrina destroyed it. Everybody was crying and drunk as shit lol. All time favorite in person sports moment ever.
  5. M @ meepmoopmeep: Kiffin is a traitor and he and LSU deserve each other since they’re both complete trash
  6. D @ drdrizzy13: yea he's a joke lol. Can't stand him.
  7. L @ Layne_Cobain: You know who rly sucks…lane kiffin 😂 dude is all that’s wrong with college sports or at least a big chunk of it…and he lied about being told he could still coach ole miss in the playoffs
  8. D @ drdrizzy13: Hey at least Ole Miss got in. I can't stand LSU. They really sucked this year.
  9. M @ meepmoopmeep: as an A&M fan I’m content with us missing the SECCG for that reason. Georgia about to fuck Alabama up
  10. D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah I agree if bama loses I think they are out. That would be 3 losses. I don't see a 3 loss team getting in this year.
  11. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah that’s why sark was pleading his case about that Texas shouldn’t be punished for scheduling a non conference game against the best team and losing if they hadn’t done that they’d probably be in but oh well way it goes there’s always gonna be a few teams who get robbed or feel they got robbed even with a 12 team playofff…if bama loses to Georgia I’d think they’d be out but who knows
  12. D @ drdrizzy13: Alabama also lost to Florida State pretty bad. Whom Florida beat. I just think if they didn't decide to play ohio state the first game. They would be in with 2 losses instead of Alabama.
  13. M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
  14. D @ drdrizzy13: Texas is offically out of the playoffs they didn't make the top 12. I do wish they were in it. They showed up against Texas AM. But there fatal flaw was scheduling Ohio State for their opening. Which would have been great if they won but they are a 3 loss team now.
  15. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah idk about arch I could see him staying with Sark for another year but if he plays rly well in the playoff who knows that is if they get in
  16. D @ drdrizzy13: Man a lot of Saints fan want Arch but I think he said he is playing another year. I would take him probably. But if Texas AM QB comes out or Ohio State's I think you gotta take one if your picking top 2.
  17. L @ Layne_Cobain: Is the qb class supposed to be stacked or thin for draft in April I follow college ball but I can’t think right now I think there’s def at least a few high potential qb declaring
  18. D @ drdrizzy13: Right now I believe we pick 2nd. ATM.
  19. D @ drdrizzy13: At first I figured he might be able to do something but our position players suck. We are playing a rookie QB. O-line sucks. It needs to be blown up. I hope we tank for the first pick
  20. L @ Layne_Cobain: Hopefully you guys maybe find a solid qb option in the draft you should end up with a very good pick
