Topic: New to bitcoins :) (Read 982 times)
Welcome to our bitcoin community
Nowadays, the bitcoin world is pretty saturated, you can quit the game if you are not willing to spend a lot of time catching up with others 
I'm new at bitcoins too. Hopefully I make a small fortune in the future.. 
hi
hello
Welcome!
In the US I used moneygram. I did see someone mention not to use moneygram but as of yet haven't figured out why not. Worked well for me.

Hello and welcome! bitstamp.net is a great option if you are in Europe.
Localbitcoins.com is the place to be for local transactions. I personally have never traded locally, because of no one owning Bitcoins nearby. But, I'm almost certain there will be someone within 50 miles of you.
hello
I had a really difficult time finding a place to buy bitcoins when I first started this (about a month ago). Went through a ton of sites trying to find one that would allow me to buy BTC with paypal or Credit Card. I was in Afghanistan at the time, so I didn't have access to Western Union/Moneygram to deposit money that way.
I finally went with www.coinbase.com. I linked it through my bank account and have made a couple of purchases so far. It takes a while though. 3-4 days to verify your account. And then about 5 days from the time you purchase until it is deposited in your wallet. Now that I'm back in the US is might try to find another faster way.

Can I buy them with a bank account or cash in my local area? (I am from Scottland)
You are far better off at bitstamp.net or localbitcoins.com for fast P2P. 
Hey guys, Im new to bitcoins, and I have a few questions before I dig in:
Can I mine bitcoins with my gaming computer?
Can I mine bitcoins with my gaming computer?
You can, but it might not be worth it.
Since specialised hardware (Asics) are on the market GPU mining is becoming more and more ineffecient.

I'm certain you can.
You could give localbitcoins.com a try to find someone in your area.
I don't know what's the best way to buy them in Scotland, but don't use Paypal or Ebay to buy/sell Bitcoins.
