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 ?

  1. ontovzik @ ontovzik: When I had long term shingles, lasting two months. All he could give me was a 10 day supply of dilaudid. He looked at the ground while we were talking about it. I could tell he was ashamed but it was the legislature and the governor that tied his hands. He was very upset that non-medical political people, the media, and the scared public were controlling how he treated his patients. Someday those people will need meds and a hospital bed and they will be gone.
  2. ontovzik @ ontovzik: I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.
  3. ontovzik @ ontovzik: He peed it in the snow in my backyard.
  4. WTF7218 @ WTF7218: @xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.
  5. xenxra @ xenxra: he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down
  6. aBBazaBBa123 @ aBBazaBBa123: @rockychoc How do I contact you?
  7. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
  8. Alkazar @ Alkazar: @NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
  9. C @ Cheesus: Thanks xenxra
  10. xenxra @ xenxra: @Cheesus yeah, use snote
  11. P @ psychedpsych: Trump is cracking down….
  12. P @ psychedpsych: Hackers are the scum of the earth
  13. N @ NYStateofMind: so it was easy bc of my history
  14. N @ NYStateofMind: I didnt really tell him but he knew I needed a new script since my dr went to jail
  15. N @ NYStateofMind: @xenxra I was on Adderall since 15 years ago so my dr prescribed that w no problems and then when I lost my best friend my doctor rxed the valiums but
  16. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  18. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  19. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  20. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
