Ya.....easy

This may be the toughest electronic challenge I have ever had. Confusion everywhere.
No stores where I come from and no suggestions either.
They have this MT bank as an outlet but their are none in this entire state of mine. They did mention WF, but, not in a very detailed way. So, if you live in the 60's, as apparently my city does, it can drive you up a wall, trying to find a "legit" solution for buying bitcoin.
The closest Bitcion outlet I saw a month ago was 100 miles away in another state. How about those apples?

And that site mentioned above, sucks with chat-help.

* Sorry, I cannot release my location.

A flash drive basically enables you to create an encrypted wallet file offline and store it in some place safe (like a bank or under your granny's mattress), vs. having an online wallet.

Not sure, if you ever heard of a term "cold storage", but a flash drive is one of the few devices that you can use to store you coins in an offline cold storage.

Not every Flash stick is safe (In fact almost 100% of them are unsecured) and you have to follow a very strict protocol to insure that this drive is properly setup for such a storage.

There many different ways that you can go about to securely setup your own cold storage on USB, but here are a few steps that I'd take if I was you:

Download Tails & burn to CD (or USB) (tails.boum.org)
Download the source code of bitaddress.org, place on USB
Disconnect internet
Boot Tails
Open the bitaddress html from USB
Generate private/public keys
Open KeePassX, create a database and store your private/public keys there. Use a long, strong password.
Put the KeePassX database on your USB.
Turn off tails, all traces are now gone and you can only access your bitcoins by having the password to your KeePassX database.
Put the USB stick in your bank vault.

Obviously some of these steps might sound to you like a foreign language right now, so it's better to seek help from someone who's done this in the past. Your BTC seller might be able to walk you through this process, if you tell them that this is your first time.

Solid effort, thanks, and I will continue the weary journey.........

Also one thing I want to add, that the Cold storage is generally used for large amounts. I'm not sure how much money you're playing with here, but, if we're dealing with anything under a couple of bitcoins, you can just send them to the wallet on your current computer and be done with it.

That's the easiest and fastest way to go about it.

Ever wonder why JJ seems to be an arrogant arse at times? I mean, the guy has to 65 years hold and must have started gambling at the early age of 3, because he's stocked full of sport's gaming data and gambling tidbits, yet, sometimes, he withholds his valuable info and stands pat, instead of releasing it. Wonder what it is with JJ?

**Sam Odom** · 08-20-16, 01:03 PM

JJ is particular with whom he releases

**ABEHONEST** · 08-22-16, 08:44 PM

Back in the saddle again, back where.....

Okay, after reviewing these not so easy... as someone suggested, websites, I have finally solved a problem.
No banks in my deep neck of the woods will work, so, now there is where I almost lost my mind.

Do you understand?
All I can see so far is a branch that represents a major bank, one that is listed on their recommended list. The others seem not able to work at all, thus, making it even more difficult to pull this stunt off--the stunt of buying Bitcoins.

I had three quality answers and a couple "smarter that me", teasers, so I have decided to split my gold-points between the three of you.
And no, as of yet I have no bought bitcoins but I think I saw an open door.

SAM ODOM..10 POINTS
RUSSIAN ROCKET...10 POINTS
And last and most smelly, DUCKSHIT....10 points

Thank you for some needed help!

You've been spoiled on SBR and have many followers. Why? The talent must be well hidden.
Have a good one, Mr. Gold.

My town is still living in the 60's.

They started habitation in the early 1800's, so maybe so.
Whoops, I just uncovered a bank in my town. Citi-Bank. I think this one will work.

This is one tough SOB I don't care if you're another Einstein.

One funding source mentioned above says you must only use cash deposits directly to your bank or their designated bank.
Come rain, sun, hail or frigid weather. That leaves me out in the cold for that service. Now, which one of the above is much more simple, like funding from your own personal bank?

**Duckshit** · 08-23-16, 01:20 PM

Cmon bro, put away the Horse and Buggy......lol

I hope you realize, that besides what you're trying to accomplish over there right now, you can also just easily buy coins from the comfort of your home online at a places like www.coinbase.com right?
At Coinbase you can use your bank acct#, CC or DC.

Good post. Cold storage doesn't matter much if you don't intend to keep bitcoin longer than it takes to sell them back to an exchange for dollars. Also, if you are using a sportsbook that offers other currencies, you will not be subject to the fluctuations of bitcoin while wagering. Whoever suggested a flash drive to you initially was giving you the long road before the short one, and all you may want to travel down is the short road.

We'd suggest checking out the four part bitcoin webinar for a video guide on the steps necessary to get started with bitcoin.

Wow, this stuff continues to get deeper the more you read.
I sense some fine educated member's out there that can harness the contents of buying and selling Bitcoins.
Especially, Russian-Rocket. He surely is voting Trump?

I like simple, so I may have to go with coinbase. Thanks for some more education, guys.

Open acct at Coinbase, verify your identity and add bank acct# and CC or DC.

Also open a separate bitcoin wallet like Airbitz or Bread wallets (you can open both, if you like).

The reason why you want to have additional BTC wallets, is that because you don't want to transfer coins directly from Coinbase to Book and vice versa. Places like Coinbase might close your acct, if they suspect you're gambling.

That's why you need a separate intermediary wallet (or two) to mask your activity.

Your BTC flow would look like this if you decide to use Coinbase.

Deposit:
Purchase BTC at Coinbase with your CC or Bank acct --> Transfer BTC to Airbitz wallet --> Transfer BTC to Book.

Withdraw:
Transfer BTC from Book to Airbitz wallet --> Transfer BTC to Coinbase --> Sell BTC at Coinbase and transfer USD to your bank acct.

One last thing...Go Trump!

Man, that's a lot to swallow in one post. This bitcoin thing is not for an amateur gambler. I need an online tutor to sit and guide me, that's how complicated this thing seems to me. Sure, who wants anyone to think or know I might play California in the very first college game.
