Cheers for the help guys
I am currently trying to get some bitcoin from kraken so hopefully when I have done a money transfer. I can jump back on and get some pts if they havent already shot up in value already

Wrote a post recently on how to buy ProtoShares on my blog with my thoughts. Perhaps you'll find it useful: http://btcgeek.com/buy-protoshares/
Unless you're offering very good terms, it is unlikely anyone will trade with you for PayPal for reasons you're already articulated. The best way would be to do this on an exchange, and buy ProtoShares with Bitcoin. Good luck!

Hi everyone,

I am from a 37 year old IT Consultant who is pretty much the last person find out about anything and get in on the "groundfloor" as it were.

In my stupidity i did poo poo the idea of bitcoin when i first heard about them a couple of years ago more fool me .... but after recent press I have been very interested with the cryptocurrency movement.

I heard a podcast on lets talk bitcoin where they spoke about PTS and Bitshares and I was extremely interested and wanted to get involved and see how PTS/Bitshares would work.

I have been mining at home and even tried Digital Ocean for the past 3 weeks ... netting me a whopping staggering 1.2 bitshares so far

I dont see it as a waste of money becuase the sole purpose of the spend was to learn not to earn.

now I am looking to buy a few Protoshares.

I have purchased a few infinite coins from ebay a few weeks ago and i understand many sellers are very scared of using paypal which is totally understandable.

I am looking to buy PTS and need the way to make it as easy and as quick as possible.

I would like to buy about a few in the begining 4-5 until a trust has built up.

I would like to pay with paypal and ensure the seller has the funds and also provide any willing to do confirmations for microtransaction for address correctness before the rest of hte amount is despatched ... this doesn't really ease the sellers worries but I am open to any other way of doing the tranaction.

I would like to get verified or use an escrow etc but i dont really understand how escrow works  (not very financially savvy)

I hope someone can help or offer me any advise.

Many thanks
