How to buy 'coins?

[AraiBob]

Hi, I just installed the wallet. Worked great on my Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS pc.

But...

I don't have an 'account'. I see nothing that would let me enter such a thing. Is this part of the privacy thing? If so, I like it.

How do I buy Dash Coins? I that the proper term? How do I convert USD into Dash coins? Where? online?

Help is appreciated.

The wallet generates a private key for you. That private key should be kept safe.

%APP_DATA%\Roaming\Dash\wallet.dat​

That private key is essentially the account. There is no account in the sense of username/password, but you may encrypt your private key with a password. This is suggested that you do so and make sure you have that working prior to putting coins on the wallet.
