I was having a try at buying bitcoins.  I only want to experiment at first, with buying $50 of them. 

 

So, I created the wallet on my iphone, using breadwallet. 

 

Next, i need to buy some bitcoins from a dealer.   This is the bit I am having difficulty with. It seems I need to sign up with a dealer, I chose coined.co.nz which asked for my passport and address proof which was OK, scanned and emailed and my account is now setup. 

 

But, when I tried to buy some bitcoin from coined.co.nz, it said the queue was full for 19 hours and they would send me an email when I can place an order....I don't get this and it is too much trouble. 

 

 

 

So , what is the quickest and easiest way to buy NZ$50 of bitcoin (approx 0.05 bitcoin) and transfer it to my wallet? I can make a cash deposit at a bank if that helps.   

 

Actually getting hold of bitcoin seems the hardest part.

LocalBitcoins has been the best way for me - Has a number of local sellers, some have done over 10,000 trades.

 

I've used danlence on there multiple times - https://localbitcoins.com/accounts/profile/danlence/

 

He has always been professional, quick to respond to messages and made the whole process easy.
