Title: Get BTC in Aus/NZ? GetBitCoin.com.au reputable?
Post by: Pessimist on August 25, 2013, 11:39 am
Where do people get their BTC's from in Aus/NZ?
Any good sites and do you prefer wire transfer or cash deposit? or other forms of payment when you pay for your BTC's?

I use http://spendbitcoins.com and do a cash deposit. I'm going to start using http://coinjar.io because their rates are better and I know and trust the guys who run it (and it has way more features).

CoinJar even lets you do bank transfers, which is so much more convenient. than visiting a physical branch. The only thing is you need to provide scanned photo ID and proof of address first.

Thanks, i looked at spendbitcoins and their price was the BTC exchange +10% where as getbitcoin was BTC exchange + 5.4%.
I could find only small amount of feedback on each site on the forums, so still sketchy.

Well, I can vouch for the safety and speed of spendbitcoins. My friends and I have used it multiple times each. Unfortunately it is pretty pricey.

I ended up using spendbitcoins, but it's been over 2 hours and no money has been deposited in my SR wallet.
It says it can take up to 4 hours so i'm not freaking out yet.
