This is the $6000 question though....  why not buy BTC the same way the rest of of the USA people do it and buy DRK through exchange Huh?
Surely someone in your local area is selling bitcoins face to face, or one of the many USA peeps can help out Huh

Well, here's the $6,001.00 answer to your $6,000 question... please send me my $1.00 in change via Darksend!  Wink

The "rest of the USA people" are usually buying only $40 to $250 worth of BTC at a time. They use services like Coinbase and pay high fees and premium for their BTC. And they are often forced to wait 2-5 business days on things like ACH deposits and bank account and/or ID verification. I'm trying to get this coin quick ahead of the price moves we're anticipating and get a new masternode up and runnings ASAP...

I've always bought my coins from a handful of reputable and trustworthy peers through Bitcointalk, Bitcoin-IRC, etc. It's always been more cost-effective, fast and easy for me. When I need a small amount ($50 to $500 worth) of Bitcoin I usually text or call TurtleHurricane or another reliable contact of mine and can have my coins within minutes. I don't even have an account with Coinbase, BitStamp or any similar websites because I've never needed it and always had better/cheaper ways of acquiring coin. I'm currently talking to some of my long-term trading partners on the phone, Skype and private messages... but I'm "shopping around" for the best deal and the best price.

Then there is the question of why I don't just buy DRK straight off an exchange... I did say that I am willing to do this, if necessary. However, I would prefer to buy the full amount of ~500.00 DRK from a private seller off the exchanges at a set, constant price. Obviously, if I try to suddenly buy up ~10+ BTC worth of DRK I'm going to drive the price up and thus make my own position more costly to purchase. The only way I'm going to get a decent entry price on DRK is if I split the 10 BTC up into smaller portions and buy incrementally over the course of a day or two, watching the technical levels and constantly adjusting limit orders (with the risk that the price suddenly shoots skyward and leaves me behind). I would prefer to avoid all of these complications, if possible. But I'm willing to do the work if I have to...

Also, there are not many people around here that are into Bitcoin, and even fewer that could possibly handle a $6,000 BTC sale... The chances of finding a local seller to do this for me is slim to none. And if I put an ad up on Craigslist saying I want to buy 10.00 BTC for $6k cash, I'm likely to get quite a few calls from armed robbers, LMAO...

My friend and I are looking to make a fairly large purchase of (approximately) 500.00 DRK as soon as possible. We already have the funds available and ready to put towards this purchase. We're doing this as both a long-term investment in Darkcoin, and to create our own masternode.

We can pay for the DRK by the following [primary] payment methods:
  • Cash (in person)
  • Cash deposit in seller's bank account
  • Wire Transfer

Or the following [secondary] payment methods, if necessary:
  • Western Union
  • Moneygram
  • MoneyPak
  • Vanilla Reload

We're going to require the following things from the seller:
  • Established reputation / trust (e.g., vouch thread, positive trust/feedback, etc from Bitcointalk and/or Darkcointalk)
  • Tangible track-record and/or trading history of large amounts of coins
  • Signed message proving owernship and availability of DRK or equiv. amount of BTC (must have coin in-hand)
  • Must be willing to accept the use of a reputable escrow agent at our request --OR-- send first
  • Must be willing to trade USD/DRK in increments of $500 to $1,000+

This is a serious request, and we fully intend to follow through and execute this purchase. Please don't waste our time if you don't actually have the ability to handle this trade. Note that we are also willing to accept BTC in lieu of DRK and purchase the DRK ourselves on an exchange. Since this is a relatively large amount of money, we want to execute this trade in smaller increments instead of attempting a single, lump-sum transaction to minimize our risks. That way, if there is any sort trouble or delays less of our money is floating around out there in limbo... Hopefully this is not a problem!

If you are able and willing to meet our needs (or can reliably provide at least $1,000 USD worth of DRK towards our goal) please reply here in my thread or send me a pm. You can also find me as "DRKLord" on DarkcoinTalk.org forums.

Thank you for your time! :-)
