What I did 3 years ago was bought a pallet of S4 for fiat currency from someone in the EU (where I am based) then mined some BTC and used that to get some T9s and Avalon 741s. BTC is awesome, no numpty Bankers trying to stop you for "Risk Factor", last transfer to Avalon cost me 9 USD :-)
thanks for the reply, for whatever reason on the checkout page it didn't offer me ltc or btc. only usd wire transfer, am I doing something wrong?
EDIT: Also, what about these people on bitmain talk who use USD wire transfer and then wait weeks for confirmation but usually seem to get confirmed. who do they use for wire transfer? they must receive some payments through wire transfer or i would think they wouldn't even offer it.
