Hi all, i came across this easy to follow guide for setting up & buying Bitcoin.
There seems to be a lot of confusion / conflicting info floating around regarding BTC.
Hopefully with the info contained in this guide, you should be up & running in no time..
I'm no BTC expert by any means, so please also look at Admin's Thread which has some
very good pointers also.   If your still stuck then search DDG for more info!

 Western Union and Moneygram kept on canceling my transfers so now I get my wife to do bitcoin for me. I’m going to try to use bitcoin myself (while she’s sitting beside me).  It’s best (and safer) to put funds into your private wallet first and then transfer in case anyone is reading this and considering using bitcoin. I’m on a preaching mission to help anyone not be a slave to WU or MG 🌝

1.Don't use WU/MG payment at anytime on the internet, always in person with cash only. (untraceable) 2nd. as far as crypto goes, that's your best bet to be safe and secure. They're are many cryp' wallets and banks you can buy them from(banks-as in websites, like coinbase, for instance, hell some ATM's sell cryp. you just need a wallet to deposit them into...localbitcoins.com chk that place) However, now there are a couple of very popular websites that sell crypto and require ID verification/personal info, basically stages too increase the amount you can spend/sell and if you're into trading crypto too...(all because the government finally figured out they can make money off these currencies by taxing it. F'kn bastards) lol that recently just happened this year. There are ways around the tax, but that's a whole diff. topic.

Just set up bitcoin wallet app. on your computer and then find their mobile app. like the dude above me said, then get a less popular wallet and once you buy the currency  off the big corp. bank site, transfer them too your small wallet...then you can send them to whom ever accepts...(beware, you have too pay a fee every time, depending on the price of ur transfer, for service fees) or you can get ANOTHER wallet and transfer it again to be even more safe, while running a VPN! lol. 

dont hesitate too message me if you need help. i soon will be a vendor here on this site, just working on the OK from the admins.....

PEACE

 
Is it normal, when working with bitcoin sellers (and funding with PayPal) an ID is required?

 
Hi there,

Yeah @BellaDonna  that's nothing out of the ordinary.

Happens all the time when funding that way because of the amount

of scams been pulled on the BTC sellers. Nowt to worry about..

@Toker Thanks for the info.  I just found out that what I bought in bitcoins couldn't buy a gallon of milk.  For newbies, I would highly recommend a conversion calculator to know exactly what the conversion rate is for your dollars. I kinda got screwed.   Not scammed -- but screwed. :lol:

However, I am sure learning quite a bit about this process.

 
@westcoastkook  guide above contains practically every step to take and how to take it. The information is sufficient for anyone trying to donate to DBG (or buy a larger amount of currency from an exchange to put into another wallet).

 
@BellaDonna I know your post is old, but as a general piece of advice to anyone new: you can easily just google USD to BTC or open an exchange to see the conversion rate.

 
@HeirCroc1 I bought bitcoin when the price was high.  And, shortly after, it took a dive -- leaving me with 1/16 (in USD) of what I purchased.  No conversion chart/exchange website will tell you how bitcoin will perform on a day to day basis.  So, my point was buy it -- then donate; don't wait, because you could end up like me -- waiting until bitcoin rebounds.  And, right now it is very low. 

 
@BellaDonna my bad, I overlooked that. You are 100% correct. Donate ASAP.

edit: it is making a slight rebound the past two days so that is good.

Hi folks..

@BellaDonna  and @HeirCroc1  i think you will find THIS Site or This Site very useful for keeping

an eye on the fluctuations of BTC on a day to day or hour to hour basis..

*EDIT*  If you want live stats then HERE is a good point of reference..

Regards,  T.

@HeirCroc1 Would you believe that I need Bitcoin to rebound/reach 97.0 (USD) per .01 BTC to break-even.  That's how BAD my timing was.  And, although it has moved up a bit, I need a drastic rebound!  But, the second it gets near my target...I'm donating (then throwing a party)!

 
Finally crack the electum wallet enigma. Seem real easy now, after spending £30 and a loud of hours spent trying to work it out :D :D

 
@Conceited hey i know what you mean it's too me a week to figure out that I have to go on Google play store to download it, I've been trying to download it and it keeps saying it won't work but hey it may take me a while 

 
I have been wanting to donate for couple of months.  I'm not great but not bad with programs.  I am intimdated by BC and I need help in next couple of days.  Where do I begin ?

  4. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Robert Duvall and a handful of others were a younger actors coach and always said no one worked as hard as those guys did. Robert Duvall and rest would read the full script 228 over and over, then after the last read they would go into how to perform their character. The young man had made it to meet Al who are greats and pull them to the side. And explain what his coach said. They all looked back and said out of every role you’ve seen me in. I have read it 228 by myself. 🫡 🫢 🫢 🫢
  5. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Sorry for comment below, but I couldn’t delete. Know I see the
  6. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: Yeah Robert Duvall passing is a hard one. RIP
  7. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Damn. Just heard Robert Duvall passed away Sunday. That’s a tough one. He’s one of my favorite actors. From Lonesome Dove to the Godfather and many others. We will miss you Mr Duvall. You entertained us for 7 decades. RIP
  8. L @ Layne_Cobain: @ClintEastwood make a post about it homie they’re gonna take down your message here cuz shout box isn’t really for talking shop just random shooting the shit exc but yeh just put your message in a post on the forum in the appropriate place and ppl will get at you! 👊 ✌️
  9. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Just wondering if anyone well trusted has a supply of research thienos or benz in powders for good average prices? Or could give a shout out from me to him? Or the best lowest per each? I’ve seen some cool and some i just know are worth it. Good price rv presses too but it is much more bang for your buck. I have one good vendor. But am looking for variety’s well. Send me a message or reply if you think any. Thanks - CLINT E. Any Heavy stuff too which all seem about the ssmmmmmm
  10. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  11. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  14. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  15. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  16. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  17. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  18. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  19. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  20. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
