Hey Newbs! Don’t waste any more time, DONATE NOW! 😜

@Layna

I also second purchasing btc through cashapp. Buying bitcoin for me use to be difficult for me as well. I was about to give up and then I tried cashapp. It was almost too good to be true. It was relatively easy and quick.

Good luck and welcome to the forum.

I will take the contrary position and recommend Coinbase. It's not the cheapest (but certainly not the most expensive either), and it's very simple to use for the person who's new to bitcoin and finds it confusing. Coinbase also works with most banks and there's no worries about getting scammed.

They'll make you wait a few days with your first purchase, and you'll probably have a limit of something like $300 at one time. But I haven't encountered waits or limits after the first time I used Coinbase.

I've since graduated to places like Cashapp and Coinmama, but I still use Coinbase sometimes too. For the person new to bitcoin, I think they're the way to go to get used to using it. Once it becomes simple, then it's easier to switch to someplace better.

Make sure you transfer your bitcoin to a personal wallet before you try to transfer it to someplace like this site or to a vendor. Any kind of vendor. Always transfer to your personal wallet, and then make your purchase.

 
I wish I had found this site before now but am glad I didn’t wait to donate. So glad to be a part of the DBG member team. I am very technically challenged and have found it easy to send Bitcoin so if you need help from someone who can put it in layman’s terms then feel free to reach out. I’m glad to help. 

 
On the Fence and DONATE bc I dweb and my main plug is not on their hes family at DBG

Would you mind helping me? :)  I feel like my age is starting to show... I purchased bitcoins (or tried to) back in 2011ish using Dwolla (don't think they're still around, they served as a "wallet," took 1-2 weeks do get your DL and everything registered with them, etc.-- everything was extremely time consuming at that time and I was just curious about all the SR talk I read about) but after that fiasco I never bothered again and stuck to my SY guy who I'm sure is still used here in the private subs.  And can totally vouch for after giving him half my paycheck for 4-5 years, hah.

Just looking to try another vendor out that seems to be discussed semi-publicly.  Whatever I have to do to make a donation :)

Hey! Sorry for the delay. I haven't been online too much lately. So....I'd be happy to help if I can, but I'm not sure what the question is. (Other than: Are we old farts? And the answer is: Yes. Yes, we are 😁

Donating to the site is a good way to test-drive bitcoin, since it's a smaller amount to try it out with, and it gives you access to the member forums.

First, go to Electrum and download a personal wallet. (There are other wallets, but Electrum is widely recommended as secure and easy to use.) You'll be given a huge long password, called a key. Write that down and stash it someplace safe. Do not lose it.

Then you go to Coinbase, register an account, and buy your coin. You'll have to show them ID, but bitcoin isn't really anonymous anyway (unless you buy it from bitcoin ATMs, which are hard to find and super-expensive, but, hey, if you live in a location that has one, knock yourself out).

Otherwise, your bitcoin purchases are not anonymous. They can be traced through the online record, which is called blockchain. (I would argue bitcoin is still more anonymous than most other options, but I'll leave that debate to way bigger nerds than I am 🤓

You will probably have a purchasing limit and a waiting period for your first purchase. I think my first waiting period was 10 days, but then I never got another waiting period after that.

Important: Always download your bitcoin into your personal wallet first, before buying anything with it.
All bitcoin purchases are non-reversible. That's one reason more and more online businesses are using it. Unlike a credit card, where the customer can do a chargeback, once you've sent someone your bitcoin, you can't get it back.

Does that help? If you go to the thread I started, called "Explain Bitcoin Like I'm 5," I got a lot of helpful answers on that thread.

Mostly, you just have to jump in and do it. Even though it seems mind-boggling at first, it's surprising how quickly it becomes no more difficult than using an ATM machine. It just has unusual jargon, and those who are really into cryptocurrency can make it more complicated. But it doesn't have to be.

 
Okay, so I finally broke down and donated!  Woohoo!  Opal status only.  Coinbase says the payment has gone through.  So when do I get to enjoy my new status?  :D   I'm super excited!

 
@Cher on the bottom of every page is a contact button so you can reach out to the Moderators.  Tell them the exact amount you sent & they'll see it & you'll gain access soon.  Welcome!

You can try changing different THEMES of the forum all the way at the bottom click on it and it will give you several options for different forum themes. This may help your issue I can’t guarantee it but I’ve had to do it at times when the forum upgrades.

Thank you for your response, unfortunately none of the themes revealed a search bar. What gives? :(
 

 
@FancyPants Scroll below all that, and scroll through all the categories,  underneath the categories is a box with "WHO"S ONLINE", right under that is the quick search box.  You have to scroll kinda far. 

 
I tried looking for the different tiers one could donate to to get further access to more thread sections but now i can't find it. Really want to donate, funds are cleared in my bitcoin base, just need to know what to click on, choose my options and send to wallet addy provided. Being a total newb sux at times but i thank you in advance for any help pointing me in the right direction...

  1. S @ soupson: What happened to chem genie?
  2. 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.
  3. M @ meepmoopmeep: Kiffin is a traitor and he and LSU deserve each other since they’re both complete trash
  4. D @ drdrizzy13: yea he's a joke lol. Can't stand him.
  5. 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
  6. D @ drdrizzy13: Hey at least Ole Miss got in. I can't stand LSU. They really sucked this year.
  7. M @ meepmoopmeep: as an A&M fan I’m content with us missing the SECCG for that reason. Georgia about to fuck Alabama up
  8. 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.
  9. 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
  10. 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.
  11. M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. 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.
  15. 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
  16. D @ drdrizzy13: Right now I believe we pick 2nd. ATM.
  17. 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
  18. L @ Layne_Cobain: Hopefully you guys maybe find a solid qb option in the draft you should end up with a very good pick
  19. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah dude Moore def does not seem like the guy for yall need to clean house
  20. D @ drdrizzy13: I should say our receivers suck
