buying bitshares

quitobro88 · June 02, 2015, 04:27:29 PM

I've been waiting for quite some time for my bitshares client to sync with the network... how long should I expect to wait for this to happen? I don't think my registered account will be, well, usable until that happens so I can't convert BTC to BTS. Thanks everyone.

You can purchase BitShares using Bitcoin at: http://blocktrades.us

Apparently not

It's been like that all day... :)

Well, not all day, it was down while we were tied up in Monday design meeting (bitshares client got confused and needed to be re-indexed), but it's back up now.

we need a FAQ for this. Or it just isn't that easily accessible?
