My friend and I struggled with using a small test amount cash to buy some Steem coins on his account so here is a quick guide based on our experience.
Initially we thought VISA gift cards would be the key. We bought two of them and discovered that all of the exchanges we found did not accept them and credit cards need to be 3D secured.
We did a search on Google Maps and found there were six Bitcoin ATMs in our area. We took some cash, created a Paper Wallet on the machine and loaded it using cash via the machine. This was painless.
We then created a www.blockchain.info wallet https://blockchain.info/wallet/#/
It was very easy and note that there are many other electronic wallet options.
On the BlockChain.info website we then went into Settings for our account and Import. We then imported the paper wallet. It was very easy because they have an option to scan the QR code via the laptop webcam.
Because current Bitcoin activity is crazy busy now, we had to wait almost a day for the transaction to complete.
We then logged into the Steemit account and selected the Buy Steem option. We elected to buy Steem and followed the instructions . We copied the address to send the Bitcoin to and went back to the BlockChain.info user account and selected send, entered the address and after about an hour, the Steem coins were in the account.
Mission accomplished!
nice
