Digital, you mentioned virwox as one of you're btc selling sites of choice. Does it take a while to get usd out of there? I've got a bunch in BTC-E i'm gonna unload when the price recovers and need a better/faster place to dump some coins. Thanks in advance.
Not at all. But only if you use paypal.
I always use paypal. Usually it takes a couple hours total. And that includes confirmations.
Here's the process (it was a little confusing for me at first):
You deposit btc into your virwox wallett, wait for them to confirm
Sell the BTC for SLL
Sell the SLL for USD
Withdraw the USD via paypal.
Sometimes there is a delay before the paypal transaction gets proessed, but I've never had the total process take more than 6 hours. And it works just as easy in reverse. In my opinion it's the best way to buy and sell btc via paypal.
EDIT: Fair warning though, it tends to be a little more pricey than waiting. But for me it's worth the extra cost for getting my money (or btc) fast.
