Dear customers,

we prepared for you a tutorial how to use bitcoin. Some of you can think, that it is difficult, but in fact this is an extremely easy, intuitive and anonymous way to pay.

WHY SHALL YOU CHOOSE BITCOIN?

5 incontestable ASVANTAGES TO PAY WITH BITCOINS!

1. You stay anonymous! If you buy bitcoins in Circle or Coinbase your account is associated with your bitcoin wallet. But nobody knows where to and what for you are sending bitcoins. Also there are different ways to make it more anonymous (for example send first bitcoins to a temporary bitcoin wallet created at https://blockchain.info/en/wallet by using a VPN/Tor connection with a different IP-address).

2. If you pay with bitcoins we will deliver your order 1-2 days faster, because Western Union and Money Gram require some time to get payment confirmation.

3. If you pay with bitcoins you get extra discounts from us.
For international warehouse – extra 10% discount; e.g. your order total is $550, but you need to pay only $500.
For EU Domestic warehouse – 5% extra discount.

4. Bitcoin is a decentralized currency. As compared again Western Union or Money Gram bitcoin-transfers are fast and they cannot be blocked by any authority! If you pay by WU or MG they can block your payment for some reason. In this case you will need to resend your payment, which implies additional fees, time losses and inconvenience. With Bitcoin you won`t ever face such issues. Bitcoin transfers are always easy, fast and smooth.

5. Availability 24/7/365. You don`t need to think when to find time to visit a bank, WU office etc. Do you have holidays or night-time at the moment? With bitcoin it does not matter. If you need to transfer bitcoins at 3 a.m. on Sunday, they will be transferred at 3 a.m. on Sunday. In most of cases you even don`t need to leave your house.


HOW AND WHERE TO GET BITCOINS?

There are a lot of exchangers in Internet. Here are some most popular and easy ways to get bitcoins:

1. https://www.circle.com/en - Circle app - you need just to sign up there, attach your bank card to your account and that`s it. Very similar to Paypal. This application is used by over than 50000 people, so its legit. Please remember that circle has a 300$ limit if you use it for the first time. You can increase your limits 7 days after the first purchase of bitcoins. After you receive bitcoins you will need to send them to our wallet provided at the checkout, when you choose bitcoin as payment option.
Download Circle for Iphone https://itunes.apple.com/tr/app/circle-pay/id920164002?mt=8
Download Circle for Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.circle.android


2. https://www.coinbase.com - Coinbase - this app is similar to Circle. But when you attach your bank account and buy bitcoins it can take several days before bitcoins are debited to your bitcoin wallet. Please keep this in mind. All instructions are given on site.
Download Coinbase for Iphone https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/coinbase-bitcoin-wallet/id886427730?mt=8
Download Coinbase for Android. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coinbase.android&hl=en

3. www.libertyx.com - LibertyX – one more way to buy bitcoins. It is a bit different as 2 previous options. With LibertyX you can pay by cash and get bitcoins. You are able to buy bitcoin instantly at 19,000+ local stores in the USA.
a) Find a nearby store using the map
b) Follow the specific store instructions and pay in cash
c) Bitcoin is immediately sent to the address you provide
To find the nearest store you need LibertyX mobile app.
Download LibertyX for Iphone https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/libertyx/id966538981?mt=8
Download LibertyX for Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.libertyx.libertyx

4. www.localbitcoins.com – Localbitcoins – this site allows you to buy bitcoins at different ways. You can choose your location and find the nearest to you store, where you pay with cash and get bitcoins. You can also use Paypal to buy bitcoins. Please visit this site to get more info. It is easy to use.

5. https://prepaidbitco.in – this is one of the easiest ways to buy bitcoins. You just buy prepaid bitcoin cards through PayPal. Fast and convenient. However, there is one thing… this site has a pretty high Bitcoin-USD ratio; higher as official Bitcoin-USD ratio from blockchain.
We from our side do our best to reduce your expenses, thus, every customer, who chooses Bitcoin as payment option gets extra 10% credit from order total. If you pay $500 you get $550 to your account in our store. It shall cover your extra expenses.

6. Bitcoin ATMs. Please use this site to read more and find nearest to you ATM, which allows to buy Bitcoins http://coinatmradar.com/blog/how-to-buy-bitcoins-with-bitcoin-atm/
You can specify there our bitcoin address (which you receive at the checkout) to pay directly to us, thus, you even don`t need to have a bitcoin wallet.

7. www.indacoin.com - This site requires no registration. You just go to this page, chose payment way (debit/credit card is most popular), enter data there and specify amount and bitcoin address to pay. That`s all. Bitcoins come not immediately, but within 30-40 minutes. You can use this site, specify our bitcoin address directly and you even won`t need to install your own bitcoin wallet. It`s very simple. However, Bitcoin-USD ratio here is also not advantageous for customers. This site also has limits if you use it for the first time.

So, how it works.

Very easy. You have a wallet, which looks like a long combination of numbers and letters. For example: 1LlH8bjxFnXQWPgcJKVLZi5C115NfGVvcv
This is analogue of e-mail address in Paypal. You send money always to addresses, which look like this. When you install a wallet you will get a similar address. In fact you will be able to generate lot of similar addresses. If you are going to receive a payment, it is highly recommended always generate a separate address for a particular payment. In other words you will have one wallet, but you can generate unlimited amount of addresses for your wallet. Here are some screenshots of the standard Bitcoin core wallet:

1. This is how Bitcoin Core for Windows looks like.
On this page you can see the amount of bitcoins available in your wallet.



All wallets are similar and have the same buttons - send and receive. This is all what we need. If you want to receive bitcoins from somewhere, you need to generate a new address. Just click on Receive and after on Request payment.



A new window with your personal bitcoin address will appear.



You need to copy this address and put it to where you are going to get your payment from. For example, above i provided as the first option to buy bitcoins site indacoin.com. When filling all fields there will be a field Bitcoin address. So you need to put there this address to get your payment on it. Like in Paypal. Only instead of email are these long addresses.
After you get bitcoins in your wallet you can send them. Just click on Send. Here is a screenshot.



As you see there are only 3 fields to fill:
Pay to - here you put the address of who you want to send payment to. If you are paying for products in our store you need to put here the address, which you receive when you chose bitcoin as payment option.
Label - this field is not obligatory. You cannot fill it. It`s just a notice for you for what you paid.
Amount: - it is clear; this is amount of bitcoins you are sending.

Official bitcoin/USD ratio can be always checked here:
https://blockchain.info/charts/market-price

However each exchanger has its own bitcoin-dollar ratio. Consider it, when you buy bitcoins.

Other wallets look similar. Here is a screenshot of Electrum wallet for windows. Also send and receive buttons. This is all what we need.




If you use a wallet on your mobile phone and going to send a payment you can not to copy the addres, but use a QR code and QR-Scanner. Just take a picture of the QR code (there is one on the screenshot above) and it will be decrypted into the address by your wallet, which is very convenient. Soon we are going to implement these codes in our store, so it will be ease for you to pay.

Actually this is all info, which is required for the beginning. I hope despite my poor English you guys understood how to use it. It is really very simple. Moreover, it is more anonymous as safer is Paypal. Another one huge advantage is that no one is able to block your payent or wallet. If you send funds, it is guaranteed that your receiver will get them. The main difficulty is to buy bitcoins. But those 3 options above could help you I hope. .I wish most of customers used bitcoin. In this case I would be able to confirm payments and orders much faster as WU payments now.
If there are any questions regarding this, don`t hesitate to ask me.

Will the Paypal option be back soon?
 
just used Circle to send BTC to you. easy peasy.
 
just did it again. ordered and paid in a matter of minutes. this is about as close to Amazon as I've seen. :)
 
I haven't used it yet, but I set up an account on coinbase and linked a cc to it for immediate BTC purchases with no 2-5 day waiting period. It's ready to go for my next order.

Real cc or relaoder?

Not worried about it tying to your real identity?

Nope. Most Bitcoin services, or at least the one I selected, requires you to tie it to your bank account anyway...

I figure if the Feds have the resources available to spend their time investigating a guy that uses a few grand of gear/year, then shame on them.

Circle has a 7-day rolling $300 limit. I was hoping that Coinbase had less restrictive limit but after adding a CC, verifying identity, etc I still have only a $50/day limit and a $10/week instant buy limit. :/ Is yours any better?
 
Follow up:

Created a SnapCard account and after going through all of the verifications I was given a $1,500 limit, which is the default for Rank 2 verification. Unfortunately, it looks like buy orders take a week so it's not very useful.

Returned to Coinbase and made a buy order with the expectation that the limits will be increased after the transaction completes in 4 days.

After completing my first $50 transaction my limits went to $200/$3000. Now it seems to want me to buy $2K before changing the limits.
 
Subbed. I want to start dabbling with bitcoins very shortly. Good post!
 
Guys,we decided to promote bitcoin as payment option. It is much more convenient for us and for you once you understand how to use it.
Bitcoin can not be blocked as Western Union or MoneyGram. It is anonymous. It is fast. We will be able to confirm payments much faster as compared to MG and WU.
So, from now we will put one free vial of testosterone propionate into all orders placed in our international warehouse, IF these orders are paid through bitcoin!
For European and US warehouses we will try to organize some discount. I will update you later about it.
Orders placed in our international section within our Christmas promo will also get an additional free test p vial if they are paid with bitcoins!
here is our tutorial with screenshots how to buy and use bitcoins

I am in the process of setting up Coinbase . Does it seem to you that when we use this we will need to buy the BC's 7-10 days out?
 
I added a CC . Once verified my instant limit will be raised . Well how instant is instant . I did a practice buy and it says it's not there for several days . I want to know if a sale pops up and I need X dollars in BC's is it always going to be several days.
 
Guess I need to get this setup today
 
Just did a practice coinbase run. Said funds will be available in 9 days. I guess the best thing to do is just keep buying in advance so the funds will be ready for immediate withdrawal when you're ready. Bitcoin definitely looks like the way to go tho.

As far as any immediate sales from sponsors ....you win some and you lose some. Bitcoin definitely looks like the way to go tho.

Same thing I got . Did you link a back up card? I'm wondering if that is verified if it will be faster . I guess it could just be my gear savings account. Haha

Just to let you guys know I added a CC and once it was verified I did another practice buy and it was instant . I still have the pending first buy in process

There are several buy limits, one of which is the limit on so called "instant" buys. Bitcoins are available immediately with an instant buy but the limit is fairly low. In my case, I could buy no more than $10 instantly each week initially. After completing a $50 non-instant buy - which took like 4 days to settle - my instant buy limit was raised to $200/week.

My holiday sale order will likely be greater than my current instant buy limit and so I'll have to wait several days for the Bitcoin trade to settle. I could buy BTC and hold them ahead of time but since BTC prices can drop, causing me to lose money, I'd rather not hold them and instead only buy them for immediate use.

Note: with an instant buy your CC is not charged but they will get an approval in case your bank later rejects the debit.
