Bitcoin (BTC) -> Golem (GNT)

Now, we will use Binance (the most popular crypto exchange) to buy Golem with Bitcoin…

  1. Register for a Binance account here
  2. Deposit Bitcoin to your account (your Binance Bitcoin wallet) by heading to Funds -> Deposits in the top menu
    1. Select BTC from the drop-down menu, and copy your BTC Deposit Address
      BTC deposit address Binance-min
    2. Send your Bitcoin to this address.
      i.e. if you purchased BTC from CEX.IO, use their ‘withdraw’ page to send BTC to your Binance BTC wallet.
  3. Once Bitcoin has reached your Binance wallet, head to Exchange -> Basic via the top navigation bar.
  4. Use the panel to the right side of the screen (which shows many currency pairs alphabetically, starting AMB/BTC, ARK/BTC, etc.)
    1. Type GNT in the search bar
    2. Click the GNT/BTC link to reach the market page
  5. Using the Buy GNT panel, set your Buy parameters, and click the green buy GNT button
    Confused by different order types?
    Limit
    : allows you to specify the price at which the order will ‘fill’. If the price is rising, the order may not get filled, but if it does get filled it will always be at the price specified (or, sometimes a better price).
    Market: buy or sell at the current price. Market orders always get filled, but in a volatile market are often risky as you won’t know the exact buy/sell price until after the order has filled.
    Stop-Limit: we recommend you read Binance’s article about this type of order.

    1. This places an order, which can be monitored via the Orders tab in the top navigation bar, or directly below the Buy box in the Open Orders pane
    2. When your order is filled, the exchange is complete, and your Golem will appear in your GNT wallet under the Funds -> Balances page

Congratulations, you purchased Golem!
