Hey everyone who’s reading intros!

I’m lakat and I’ve been a member for almost 3years. I used to visit this site a lot until I got hooked up with an AMAZING vendor whom I trusted enough to never need a backup. Well, low and behold my vendor just went MIA and I’m stressing so I came back to visit everyone again. I’ve re read everything like I’m supposed to and from what I can understand the new and only way to donate is thru Bitcoin? I’m stressing because I’ve never used bitcoin and I know I need to donate again ASAP. If anybody has any vague pointers send them my way. Anyway I look forward to being back and helping in this community in any way possible, this is a great place with great people!

There are a lot of pointers on the forum, but the speed lesson is:

Download a personal bitcoin wallet 

(I use Electrum)

Make yourself an account with coinbase

Purchase some bitcoins 

Transfer the bitcoins from coinbase to your electrum wallet 

Make your donation or purchase 

That is about it. The last step is important because coinbase is known to have closed members accounts for trying to send to DBG. If they are that strict, you REALLY don't want to send directly to a vendor from there. So having your own wallet is important. There are many other ways to get it done, this is just what I have used and meant to simplify things.

Sorry you lost your vendor!
