Hello Steem Fam!
A few weeks ago FreedomEX launched a new service for Steemians. We could now buy Steem via Netcoins. This is a really exciting thing!
I mentioned to @exyle that I was going to give FreedomEX and Netcoins a go. He asked if I would let him know how the transaction went. So this is a post to do just that!
Getting my Netcoins account funded took a few days. A simple registration and stuff with the account itself. Then, I had to get fiat into my Netcoins account. This also took a few days.
I found using the Netcoins site a bit confusing. So it took a bit of Customer Support. And, once I figured out how to do the transaction, Steem was not available on the exchange unfortunately. There was no Steem available for sale. The operation was kind of a fail :(
The Netcoins Customer Support have been first class. Very fast and very helpful. I am a seriously green token buyer.
Netcoins promptly returned my funds via etransfer. However, I am still waiting to deposit the etransfer. For some reason it is being held up in my bank. I am not able to deposit it right now. I have used etransfer for years. It has never been an issue to deposit. So this is a strange red flag. They say keep trying back and it should work.
After that caffuffle ~ I took to asking my Steem friends if anyone had any for sale. And, within a few hours I had the purchase done.
So pleasant. And, likely the cheapest way to do it. Only 2.9% fee. Now to POWER UP! #steemtothemoon
Steem on!!
