---

---

In Bitshares GUI Release v2.0.171121, New Buy Model was mentioned by @billbutler.

This is, in essence, an in-wallet API to the blocktrades.us functionality. It's a particularly easy way to purchase BTS. It removes the complications associated with explaining how to use the exchange.

So, I tried it myself.

This User Guide would be a part of my BitShares Documentation project. I have been adding more new images and information to improve the contents.

I am creating and adding more information contents to support users. And also I am planing to re-design the page layout. So, the look might be changed later.
