Hey all
I am in UK and am tryingg to find the best way to get bitcoins.
I want it fast and easy with the less commission the better.
I have found that ukash can be put on cashu and then use that at mt gox
otherwise a bank transfer in $ to mt gox
Is there any way to use a card to speed all this up??
So you UK SR Guru's, what do i do???? Thanks

Found a Barclays bank details for wire transfers in UK on the mt gox support pages. Anyone know if a counter deposit is possible??
-
Is there a consensus on a goto in the UK for bitcoins post-vlad?
Perhaps Limetless has a recommendation for sourcing coin now.

Yep, I do it all the time. Just make sure they type the reference right!! If you get it in early-ish, you'll get the money in your Mt Gox account about 2-4am that night.

MtGox accepts bank transfers from UK banks. If you do online banking its a piece of piss. Intersango (formerly BritCoin) do the same. Prefer MtGox though personally as the buy rates are more favourable.

i've decided to go with a cash deposit at a barclays branch to MTGox as i dont really want my bank account linked to the coins and i dont really want to use a tumbling service because of what they charge.
Create an account on MTGox on a computer other than your own (or use VPN like i did)
Deposit the cash to MTGox account
Wait 2-3 days
Get your coins and send them to a wallet (is strongcoin good?)
Send to Silkroad
Get goods delivered to a trusted friend
BINGO!
Not traceable back to you (except maybe you'll be on CCTV in barclays, so get a friend to make the deposit for you!)
If there is anything else you think i could do better... please let me know!!!
