What's most stable/trustworthy BTC merchant in the UK? I have a UK bank account and I'd like something I can use remotely from Asia

Use an exchange that it can withdrawn to OKpay ... and like UK account to OKpay.
Or skill ...
Or paypal ...

Virwox can do this.
But many others exchanges do this, too.

Security risks in this cybercafe are not huge. Keyloggers are unlikely. The cache gets wiped every time you switch off, and there's a fairly honest culture in this town.

I think this lax attitude could be a very dangerous one to have. Never underestimate people especially when you're using a computer you don't own. You never know what security measures the cybercafe has taken and whether they're employing them correctly or legitimately.

I'll be as careful as I can then relax. The fact is, I wanted to buy some BItcoin when they were trading at 6USD a few years back. Because of security issues I didn't buy any. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't.

I'll only be receiving money so I can't lose any savings.

If you think security risks at Asian cyber-cafes is not huge, than I think you're misinformed my friend.

Where in Asia? Are you posting from a brothel in Cambodia or a sleepy backwater in Taiwan? It's a big place.

I've been out here 7 years, done tons of online banking, never had any problems. I'll be as careful as I can, use many different BTC addresses, split large payments, empty wallets 2-4 times a day, try and use a smartphone, get as close to paper wallets as I can, and do my best to follow high security protocols.

Thanks for the condescending advice.

RunAmok; I logged onto Coinfloor and it looks awesome. Easy to use, safe looking, and solid. Thanks for saving me hours of research.

Thanks, I'll try both of them. I've watched a lot of exchanges go down, so I'm looking for something trustworthy.

Not really expecting huge amounts of donations.

There's coinfloor or you could try bitcoinfridge. What quantities are you expecting?

Hi,

I searched and couldn't find a specific answer. I'm too busy researching grassroots technology to follow the BTC community in depth. I'm working with some talented writers, and we hope to release a lot of paradigm shifting information over the next few weeks. Forgotten medical research, suppressed/Nobel Prize winning cures for heart disease, low tech water filtration and much more. I've been helping promote BTC since 2011.

Could anyone could tell me:

I will empty the wallet every day, and be cautious. I'll move to paper wallets if I can.

Thanks if you can help...
