Buying ftc
-
Hi total noobie just decided to get into crypto currency and ftc looked the best bet unfortunatley I have a laptop so cant mine and cant work so Im hoping ftc takes off and I can then afford a desktop pc to mine with! but in the mean time I need to buy coins I have seen a post somebody selling them via paypal Im not sure if this is a common occurance! but would love it if this was the case, just wondered is there a certain place for exchanges like this and whats the going rate per ftc in £ if poss ;)

The problem with a paypal purchase is the buyer-chargeback. So you need to find someone who trusts you that you dont want your money back. Thats why normally nobody in the Crypto-Scene sells coins via paypal.

[/quote]Are you in the UK? I’m thinking of offering a service to newbs where they top up my phone for me in exchange for FTC. For example: you go buy an o2 top-up voucher with cash, pm me the code, I’ll top up my phone, then once I have the balance I send you £10’s worth of FTC (the number of which we will agree on beforehand). Let me know if you - or anybody else - is interested.

[/quote]Not unless you can get a hold of an o2 voucher. I also see you already have quite a few coins in your wallet and was aiming to do this to help newbs get their first coins.

Here’s what I would try:
1. Go to https://localbitcoins.com and find a seller with a payment method that will work for you. There are many different sellers that accept a variety of payment methods.
2. Complete a transaction for Bitcoin on localbitcoins.com
3. Open a BTC-e account.
4. Transfer your Bitcoin from your wallet at localbitcoins.com to your BTC-e account
5. Trade your Bitcoin for FeatherCoin on BTC-e
You can find out more about each step using google.
