You can go from £ to DRK if you use ebay, but you will be paying a huge premium.
If you want to buy BTC fast (and without the whole photo id thing) you can try QuickBitcoin. I've used them before and found the service very good.
Once you have the BTC you can use Cryptsy or some other exchange...
Thanks for the quick reply. No not done yet, it's still syncing. I shall be in the corner rocking back and forth while I wait....
edit: Woohoo, the 1000 is back! *wipes forehead*
Well I updated the bitcoind ok.... but then the blockchain got stuck at some number... and now... well now I am having some issues :p
edit: All done *hoo-ha*
Ok I'm starting to panic now. I updated darkcoind. It stopped updating so I reindexed, but now the balance is showing 0 :|
I have a backup of my wallet luckily but why would my balance suddenly disappear? Is it ok to load the backup wallet on a normal client? I haven't done it yet incase it...
Well I spent this morning setting up a masternode (first time doing it), and now I am reading there has been a fork so need to log back in and update everything :p
