In the 2+ weeks you've been looking to buy BTC, you could have just opened up a Circle.com account and been buying $2500 per week, straight from your bank account. I suggest you just go with that route.
1. don't like Circle
2. $2500 per week is not instant
3. Buying from other users [usually] is instant, even though there's a premium.
I can accept cash deposit into my Chase account, but for the reason stated earlier in this thread, I can not do QuickPay. Just let me know how much BTC you want and we can get things started.
I don't have a Chase checking account, they're not in my state (PA).
Why don't you use do a bank wire transfer from like coinbase or something. Or you could try localbitcoins. Money is hard to come by these days and I don't think it is unreasonable that people are cautious with it.
Also I would like to bring up a point. If a random person claiming to be a Nigerian prince does the general Nigerian scam like crap, is he still a scammer if he hasn't scammed anyone yet. In addition is it unreasonable for people to call him a scammer if the so called Nigerian prince hasn't scammed anyone yet but is exerting scam like behaviors?
I see what you're inferring. I honestly don't see what behaviors I'm exhibiting that are tell-tale signs of a scammer. I've done 300+ exchanges on another forum (PM me for my Excel spreadsheet) and I know what to look out for. You all point out generalizations, although it is vastly different elsewhere. To answer the nigerian prince scenario, it's reasonable not to deal with him due to warnings online, shady english/language and common sense for sending money overseas...
You are trying to buy bitcoin with something that is very much reversible. The fact that you are a brand new account means that the financial/repetitional incentive for you to not attempt to scam is very low. There are a large number of scammers on here that have caused people to be rightfully paranoid about accepting these kinds of payment methods.
I do have cash. I just don't partake in those services (WU, MG, wire, etc). No one locally sells though.
Why don't you buy a USPS money order or a Cashiers check with cash and then buy bitcoin by mailing these in the mail? Because that's
a. shady as fuck
b. illegal (or is just sending cash illegal?)
I'd rather take my chances with a nigerian prince than do that.
why in the fuck would usps, an agency of the US government, offer money orders if it was illegal? do you even realize what youre saying here? money orders are a secure form of payment:
