Buying bitcoins

2012-04-22T22:50:24Z

Sonba:

There are various methods available for buying bitcoins.

Warning: Please be careful with your money. When sending money to an exchange or seller you are trusting that the operator will not abscond with your funds and that the operator maintains secure systems that protect against theft -- internal or external. It is recommended that you obtain the real-world identity of the operator and ensure that sufficient recourse is available. Exchanging or storing significant amounts of funds with exchanges is not recommended.

==Major Exchanges==

The least expensive methods for buying bitcoins involve transferring funds using a bank wire, ACH, bank transfer (ACH, EUR / SEPA).

==Physical Bitcoins==

Physical Bitcoins are bearer tokens that have an embedded redeemable digital bitcoin value if torn open. While they are somewhat expensive if bought purely for the digital bitcoins, they are relatively easy to get, because they can be purchased with PayPal or credit card - payment methods not typically not accepted for pure digital bitcoin purchases.

Help:Installing Bitcoin Core

Sonba: added bitcoinmarket24

An account can effortlessly be created using an [[eWallet]] service. eWallet services provide an online wallet to hold your bitcoins.

This guide covers installing Bitcoin without needing a third party wallet service.

== For Windows computers ==

=== Installation ===
[http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/ Download] and install Bitcoin.

[[File:Install fin.png|frame|none|Complete installation wizard]]

=== Initialization ===

The first time you run Bitcoin, it needs to download all the blocks to setup. You already have your bitcoin address at this point, but you won't see any transactions before the initialisation is complete (it can take from half to a few hours).

[[File:First time run fin.png|frame|none|Bitcoin is initialising by establishing a connection to other clients and downloading the blocks.]]

[[File:Bitcoin all blocks fin.png|frame|none|Completed download of block-chain.]]

Your address (you can have as many as you want) is at the top. Below is your balance which will be zero. The list below shows your transactions.

== For Mac computers ==

Download the [http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.3.19/bitcoin-0.3.19-macosx.zip/download OS X version] of Bitcoin and expand the archive.

[[File:BcOSX.png|thumb|none|Contents of the Bitcoin archive after expansion]]

Drag the Bitcoin icon to the desired install location, and double-click or Cmd-O (⌘O) to run the application. The Bitcoin window will open and connections will start up in minutes. The blocks will begin downloading. Your address and balance are at the top of the window. Click "Copy to Clipboard" to copy your address. Transactions are displayed in the main window.

[[File:BcOSXrunning.png|thumb|none|Main window]]

As Bitcoin currently does not support hiding with Cmd-H (⌘H), it is recommended that users tick the "Minimize on close" option in the Preferences menu to prevent accidental program exits.

[[File:BcOSXPreferences.png|thumb|none|Preferences window on OS X]]

== Getting my first coins ==

The [[Bitcoin Faucet]] [https://freebitcoins.appspot.com/ website] currently hands out 0.001 BTC to new bitcoin users. Fill in the form with your bitcoin address. [http://www.wesmeredith.com/bitbybit/ Bit by Bit] is another website which provides.001 BTC for free and can be used daily. It also offers weekly lottery drawings for beginners. When you wish to add more, view [[Buying bitcoins]].

[[File:Get some btc.png|frame|none|Getting free coins from the Faucet]]

A new entry should appear in Bitcoin. The network hasn't yet confirmed it, but you know it's being processed. After about one hour it should get 6 confirmations. You are able to spend the coins when there is only one confirmation.

The confirmation counter (like the block counter) will increase by one roughly every 10 minutes. Six confirmations are considered as 100% sure a transfer has been processed.

[[File:First btc recv.png|frame|none]]

[[File:Six confirms bitcoin client.png|frame|none]]

* The [[Trade]] article shows hundreds of merchants who accept bitcoins.

== Buying coins on Bitcoinmarket24.com via SEPA or wire transfer (EUR only) ==
Go to [https://bitcoinmarket24.com/ Bitcoinmarket24]

# If you want to use instant payment, enter the desired amount fo Bitcoins as well as your bitcoin address and klick on next (optionally enter your e-mailaddress)
# Enter your payment details on the following side (TÜV certified)
# You receive your Bitcoins within less than one minute (note: you still need to wait for the confirmations of the network)

# Alternatively click on "Switch to traditional SEPA bitcoin purchase"
# Enter amount of Bitcoins, bitcoin-address, name of bank account holder and your e-mailaddress
# Click on "Next"
# Check your data and click on "Next"
# You receive all data that you need to do the transfer
# After 1 day for German transfer and 1-3 days for European SEPA transfer you will be credited your Bitcoins

== Points to remember ==

* You don't need to be online to receive BTC.
* You can create as many new addresses as you like. Using a different address each time helps keep you [[Anonymity|anonymous]].
* You can be [[Anonymity|anonymous]] with adequate precautions.
* You cannot send BTC to an invalid address. Typos are not a worry as the payment will refuse to send.
* The [[Wallet|wallet]] file holds the keys that allow spending and thus the computer should be [[Securing_your_wallet|protected]] from the risk of loss and theft.
* Leaving Bitcoin open improves connectivity for the network and ensures that you don't fall behind on the block chain. Also see [[FAQ#Do_I_need_to_configure_my_firewall_to_run_bitcoin?|the FAQ about port forwarding]]

Proceed to the [[Introduction|introduction]]

== Technical ==
=== Block chain ===
The [[block chain]] is a neverending story of every transaction throughout the network from day 1 (genesis). The first time you run Bitcoin, it is downloaded and verified on your computer. Every new transaction is added to the end of this chain and verified by the network to be valid.

=== Addresses ===
Whenever you send a coin, you are actually sending a cryptographically signed message, associating your coin with the recipient's address. This effectively transfers ownership to to the recipient. Once they own the coin, they are free to transfer it to another person.

A wallet is a collection of addresses. You can create as many new addresses as you wish; having more addresses makes you more anonymous, because then people cannot see how much BTC you received. Your wallet contains the secret keys used for spending that money, and must be [[Securing your wallet|backed-up regularly]]. If you lose the wallet then you no longer possess the money.

=== Generating ===
New coins are mined through generating hashes. These generators are rewarded with a small fee for the computationally intensive task of incorporating your transactions into the block-chain. This fee halves each time 210000 blocks are added to the block chain, or approximately every 4 years. The fee will keep halving until it effectively reaches zero, at which point 21 million coins will be in circulation.
