Ah, I also live in Zurich :-) Maybe we should get a beer on the Langstrasse sometime!

Right now I have something in mind I want to buy from somebody who accepts BitCoins, so the exact amount is pending negotiation. I'm just trying to figure out ahead of time where to get them. I'd be after a fair old number of bitcoins ... at current exchange rates maybe a thousand.

Nice to find people from around here, yes we should definitely grab a beer sometime.

1'000 BTC is quite a large order, I'm not sure I can spare that many at the moment :-)

How many would you buy and where do you live? I myself live in Zurich so if your from Switzerland a meeting wouldn't be that far off ^^

I'm in the US. You would have to send them to me via international mail which I have done before with one other person.

I'd like to buy some (maybe a few hundred) coins using either Swiss Francs or pound sterling, but it seems the existing markets are primarily requiring US dollars.

Does anyone know where I can make such a trade. Is my best bet to use PayPal or something like that to convert my currency into dollars then convert again into BitCoins?

I also accept GBP, but I have high fees in order to convert to USD.

hmm, I collect foriegn notes, and do not have either of those. Are you willing to go out on a limb and risk sending those notes by international mail?
