Title: How do I use Physical Bitcoins..?
Post by: silkroadman123 on August 25, 2013, 05:36 am
So I plan on getting my Bitcoins through "localbitcoins" site that is pretty popular.
They have 2 options, online payments or meeting the person directly and getting acctual physical bitcoins right ?.

I think iam gonna go with acctually meeting a person and say i buy 2 bitcoins, What the heck do i do with them ? How are you supposed to deposit physical bitcoins into your BTc wallet ?

I couldnt find any posts on using physical bitcoins so if someone could help out here id really appreciate it..thanks
i kno my question might sound dumb but iam completely new and exitced to start buying stuff on SR !!

I would imagine you either physically watch them transfer the coin to your localbitcoins wallet address.

Or you have a bitcoin wallet on a memory stick but Im not up with what steps you have to do to crate a physical bitcoin wallet address such as one on a memory stick or on your laptop, smartphone etc .

Not sure if your getting the PHYSICAL Coins or they are jus meeting you in person , Ive known a person or 2 to have the actual coin , which they sell on ebay , flip the coin over remove the back and it has a address , that address you will draw your BTC from, but most likely the guy has a wallet , either personnel or LBC wallet and they will transfer to a wallet of your choice while your there waiting.... Takes around 30 -45 minutes the guy will walk you threw it
