Title: NEWBY Advice
Post by: mr420mn420 on August 24, 2013, 12:52 am
Can anyone recommend a vendor to purchase BTC's? Somehow someone got into my account somehow and cleaned my out. Thankfully it was only 1 BTC, but now I have to wait 5-7 days to get Coinbase to actually get me my coins. 



Thanks for any and all advice! Have a wonderful night!

I recommend against such transactions. They are insecure and have no escrow system. CoinBase is way to slow. I personally use a BC service like VirWox (actually a linden dollar exchange). Yes I pay a fee both when purchasing second life currency and when exchanging that into BC but that fee is neglible for the time involved (an hour or two at most) and it accepts paypal and most major charge cards as a funding source. It is however limited in how much you can buy in a period. However for 1 or 2 BC it is an excellent option
