Ok wonder if you can use any wallet or have to use a specific wallet . I am going to try it. I am going to go buy a prepaid Visa card gift card and use that to pay for it through paypal as a guest . Just give me a little bit @Pharmacom Labs . I just got home from work . And have to get the family settled in. Then I will do this and give it a test run for you. You have helped me out and That's the least I can do for you .

 

[RThoads]

By the way, has anybody tried this site?

https://prepaidbitco.in

you can buy there prepaid bitcoin card through paypal!
a card worth 100$ costs 100$. probably bitcoin-USD ratio there is different as official blockchain ratio, but still shall be very convenient to buy bitcoins. I will provide 50$ store credit to the first one who will use this option to buy bitcoins and describes how it works and what are the fees.

Looking into it now

If @Mechanics does not do it, let me know guys and I will do a test-run for their smallest virtual-card amount and make a write-up with screen shots etc that details the process including calculations for fees.

oh by the way @Mechanics did everything work out with your other BTC purchase? all worked ok?

 

[Mechanics]

They also have different card starting at $10 .

Everything except when I try to buy a pin for bitcoin . They think I am smoking Crack lol. So I think this prepay card will work as long as I can use the wallet from circle.com

 

[Mechanics]

@RThoads if you want to do it yourself you can . I am not able to give screen shots like you can . So it might be more beneficial for the members if you do it and can dhow your transactions.

you can click on a location on the LibertyX site and choose that location.
Then you can print out the details to show to the worker.
here is an example:
LibertyX

But either way I need to get some funds to pharmacom . So I will be watching closely if you do it.

I did they were both gas station and said my manager would have to do it lol.
But if this way works . I am going this route

 

[Mechanics]

I live in a huge city . And for some reason it still is not big yet.

cool, ok!

Before buying anything, the first thing I notice is the difference between the BTC value on the prepaid-card site and the current real-time value of BTC of the exchanges (no big deal and makes sense--they have to make money somehow; also, the is mention of additional fees which we will find out very soon once on of us tries it out):

Here is the Card site which lists BTC = $472.80 USD :

And here is 2 seconds later teh actual real-time value of $447.097 USD on the exchanges:

therefore,
472.80/447.097 = 1.057 which means they make an approximate 6% mark-up (this is before any additional fees).

We will get more details once someone makes a purchase of one of these cards.

well... looks like it won`t be a demanded option. pretty expensive.

ok, I will go test it out.
I talked to @Mechanics and made sure it is ok with him out of respect since he posted first. He told me it is ok -- I will go try to buy a small virtual card now and then let you all know how it worked out.

Following closely.
Thanks @RThoads I am not tech savvy. So I am hoping to learn something here . And feel a little safer when paying for orders

@Pharmacom Labs Unfortunately, yes I agree -- there is more additional fee of nearly 5% (maybe not a problem for some people, but there are much more efficient ways to purchase BTC).

I went to the homepage as seen above in the first quote (quoted myself to consolidated everything here in one post).

Next, choose the "Virtual" from the menu of option across the top bar (I have it circled in yellow). Then scroll down and select the card you would like to purchase.
At first I tried to buy a $10 USD card but the fees were $2 (that is 20% above the earlier markeup on BTC values)!!!
Instead, I then scrolled down and found the $100 card to try that in hope it would have less fees:

Select to pay with PayPal, and then I was prompted as usual to sign-in to my PayPal account. The invoice it charges me can be seen here -- nearly 5% fee:

In my opinion you are better off to buy with cash using LibertyX, or even easier just directly using Circle or another service using bank account and then if you are worried about your person info just go find my or Sempie's technique to transfer to a third-party different wallet that is anonymous and make your purchase from that wallet.

Hope this helps

i agree. thanks RT. nevertheless 50$ are on your account.

 

[RThoads]

i agree. thanks RT. nevertheless 50$ are on your account.

No problem, you don't have to owe me the $50 since this method did not work out for as efficient for me (too much fees for me, I am cheap haha), and thank you.

Is always worth to try to find more ways. We appreciate that you are also working hard to find more options for your customers Frank -- thanks.

On the LibertyX website locations map, you can see what location have already been successfully used by people. The reason for this is that is you are first at a new location, you get a $5 bonus for teaching the workers how to do it. However, you can instead use this info to find a location that had been used so you know that someone there must be able to do it since it was done already.

No Star means someone has already used the location to buy a BTC pin, while a Star indicates it is a new location that has never been used (if you mange to get them to do it correctly at a blue location you get $5 extra). A red location is place you buy a PIN and a blue location is a place you buy a BTC gift-card:

If I think of anything else I will PM you @Mechanics

EDIT: corrected the map color coding description.

cool , I live in south subburbs in Atlanta, Ga. and most of them or red and have stars , but I am going to try a couple more . I have to go downtown tomorrow and There is a couple places there that my friend was telling me about that does, I wonder if I can use any source of providers who sell The pin numbers or gift cards and just add them to my wallet ?

as long as they are on the libertyX site (map) then it should work.
Try to find one without a Star but still print out the paper instruction for that location just incase they need it. Let us know if it works out.
