How to Buy I/OCoin with Bitcoin

How to buy Bitcoin to purchase I/OCoin (IOC) via trading exchanges.

1- Buy Bitcoin.  This is the step most people can find the most challenging. But it is really quite simple to buy Bitcoin's.  There are many ways to buy bitcoin, here are the best known, depending on your location in the world.

If you are in the UK, then we can highly recommend using  BitBargain

Bitbargain is for customer in the UK, it is very easy to sing up to the site to purchase Bitcoins.
Also, the sellers on the site are professional and have to pass quite a tough test and lots of verification processes to be able to sell bitcoins.  So you can rest assured you are dealing with professionals who will make your transaction easy.

Most importantly the transaction is 100% safe and secure.  There are many ways you can buy bitcoin from bitbargain, the most used option is Bank transfer, but you also have many other options as seen in the picture below.

Then you simply choose what you would like to buy, in this case Bitcoin  (they do offer Litecoin and Namecoin also)

Then enter the number you wish to purchase and click "Find Offers".

The top offers will be the cheapest and each seller has a green bar next to their ID, the fuller the bar the better the rating, but as you will see nearly all sellers have over 90% ratings.

So, if you are not in the UK, but are in Europe, you will be asking how can i buy bitcoins.  We would suggest you use. https://localbitcoins.com/

Again, similar to bitbargain, First sign up.  simply enter what you want to buy, where you are located and select amount and payment option. Also, just like bitbargain, you will see all the sellers have ratings, so you can easily select who to deal with.

Also, If you are outside of Europe, then this is also a great way to easily buy bitcoins.

2- Sing up to Trading Exchange like Buy IOC on Bittrex or IOC to buy on AskCoin

Really quick and simple to do. When buying, you do not have to provide any ID documents, simply enter username and password and you will be ready to buy/trade.

Once you have signed up and have your account, go to the Wallet or Balance section.  Then simply locate Bitcoin.  When you first sign up to a site, you will need to generate a Bitcoin address.

3- Generate Bitcoin address

When you select bitcoin you will be asked to click a button that says 'Generate address'. Now you will have your Bitcoin address.  This is where you will send the bitcoin, you have just purchased.

Note: When sending Bitcoin to a exchange, it can often take from 30-60 mins.


Then after tis time, you will see you have your bitcoin in your balance and you are ready to buy I/OCoin. 

If you are new to trading, there are many guides on how to buy alt coins from exchanges, but it is very easy to do.

IMPORTANT: Make sure to enable 2FA protection on your new account straight away.

4- Buy IOC (I/Ocoin)

For this example, i will use bittrex.  You have your bitcoin and now you want to buy IOC  IOC is the trading name for I/OCoin.

You will now see this screen, if you are logged in.  Please make sure to be logged into Bittrex.

You will notice on the Left Hand Side.  Buy IOCoin.

You will be asked how many 'units' (coins) you want to buy and what price you want to pay.

If you would like to spend all your bitcoin in one go, simply click MAX.  But at this point, it is a good idea to set the price you would like to buy at. (BID Price).

You will notice there is a down arrow on the blue Price box. If you click this it gives you 3 options.Last, Bid and Ask.

I/OCoin explanation of the IONS fee. Please read.

Recently a question came up about the IONS fee for registering your IONS user name.   Here you will read a full explanation of what the fee will be used for and again, showing the openness and honesty of I/OCoin, something we pride ourselves on, we have included the wallet address for anyone to check the coin balance at any time.

I/Ocoin: ions fee's address: iou5UgEAeNwn5W8ma5fDsUEXx1LwhVVta1

This is the address fees collected from IONS registration go to.   Please note, when a user sends the 200 IOC payment it sends to a address that is unique each time, we then collect the fee's from these addresses and hold them in the main wallet, which we also stake, to gain more coins.

You can easily calculate the fees we have gathered by simply seeing how many user names have been registered with us, currently 112. So 112 x 200 = 22,400 I/O Coin digital currency.  You will also note that when you check the wallet address on the blockchain, using our block explorer found here:

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ioc/

The balance may be missing around 200-1000 (2-6 fees) at any one time, because we need to transfer the funds as mentioned above.  But one thing is for sure, when the time comes to donate the coins, every one will be accounted for.

Why we charge a fee.

The small fee of only 200 i/ocoins also has the added protection of preventing people from creating countless user-names and spaming the ions name server, after all, we only want names that will be used and not names that have been made up just to squat there, a classic example of this is the .com boom, when people were snatching up all the domain names just to then sit on them in the hope one day they can sell for a good profit.

But most importantly, the fee will be used to help others that are less fortunate than us and will be donated to a charitable cause. Not only that the community will have the say in where the funds will be donated to.  Plus, we will not be dumping the coins , collected from the IONS fee's on the exchange, but we will have community member who will buy the coins from us for bitcoin.   You can see examples of our charitable work on our thread.

As you will read in post: #381, where I/OCoin digital Currency donated $10,000 USD. The sum was donated to the rape and torture victim Mairelis Gonzalez and other victims for various expenses. Mairelis is one of the  women that is part of a group of 34 Cubans arrested after arriving in Nassau the coast of Bahamas. Lorenzo Palomares is the  Constitutional lawyer and a trial lawyer that represents the victims in the Bahama case.

Also in the same post: The IO Community has also donated $200 for Diego Jaens surgery. Diego suffers from neurofibromatosis, a severe tumor on his face, which grew by 120 percent after his last surgery in 2011, where doctors were able to extract 70 percent of the tumor mass. Today Diego's first surgery has been a success, as his Doctor mentions. He is currently in intensive care to recoup before his 2nd operation.

And post: #806 Where our Developer donated $100 to the well known Ice bucket challenge, also calling out other well known crypto coins to match this donation, but non of them did!



So as you can see, the IONS fee play are important part in being able to give back to good causes and at the same time restoring the faith that has been severely dented in crypto over the past few months.

We would just like to take this opportunity to thank all our supporters new and old here at I/O Coin Digital Currency and we can say the future is looking much brighter, which you will see over the next few weeks.

Many thanks from the I/O Coin Digital Currency Team.
