I agree with what nanobtc said because I’ve never really thought about this before, but there are some obstacles in reality. Not all of cities have casinos and if they have maybe are located far away from people they want to do a local transaction. As I see it local transaction is a good way for a fraction of bitcoin because bigger one is dangerous.
Yes, like , but In the US, people often meet up in front of the local police station for purchases originating off of Craigslist.  If you have a modern cell phone, that can give your computer Internet access anywhere (look for tethering or work as wifi data services... test it out at home before you go).

If you consider a local transaction as buying/selling BTC, consider a casino. There are plenty of eyes/cams to deter crimes. There's always wifi. It's easy to get change. You can dawdle away time at the quarter slots, as compared to looking suspicious loitering at your local bank lobby.

Bring a friend, don't talk to them, park them a few machines away from you.

  I think we need to rethink the concept of local transactions, because when we are dealing with Crypto - even local payments involve a global component. 

Take the concept of paying in store; even when paying in store you have to send data over a network, which is often connected to a global network, and the internet.

Knowing this, it is just as easy to a non-local transaction as it is to do a local transaction, since all one is really relying on is the network to process the payments.   Consider the Alcurex exchange remote markets engine.  This is just another perfect example of a local transaction on a bitcoin exchange that is happening instantly, while also accessing a non-local market, via Poloniex or Bittrex, so in reality, no transaction is ever truly local?

What do you guys think?  Are transaction ever truly local?

This is a very timely guide and information as I have heard many victims of unscrupulous buyers or posing as buyers but with an intention to steal and hurt the other side of the supposed deal. Yes, meeting in a public place like a popular restaurant can be the best idea as the place can have CCTV recording. And don't do it alone as much as possible. Smiley

This information helps me a lot to be very careful when it comes to meeting up people. Thanks for this.
I haven't try yet but at least I would be careful when I'm on that situation. Let us all think twice our moves.

Thank you for this. I've been wondering on what are the requirements or guidelines for local transactions. What to consider when meeting up with a stranger. Will keep this and probably print this for future references. I think it is also good to bring a friend, at least. To make sure on your transaction. Especially if the location is far from your home.

This things should be considered at all.
I just remembered that guy who have been scammed trading bitcoin in the street. He should have read this first. First things we should be looking is security in the are if it talks about money. He didnt do that as if bitcoin trade is so illegal.

If you are deep into the cloak and dagger feel of it all, NFC would be the best lol.  Or a radio transmit over short distance, like snooping those chip cards.  Just wait for your confirmations, at least one, before walking away.

Thanks for this detailed article. It would help not only to newbies but also to the experienced ones regarding local transactions. Since bitcoin is free to use currency, I see a good sustainable growth of user base in near future and it is possible that local transactions could surpass international transactions in terms of frequency if major players like airbnb, local merchants starts accepting it.

So the chances of threat and loot will also increase with it and to prevent such cases, your article is helpful, thanks again. It deserves sticky position.
