Title: Cheapest fastest USD to BTC? (yes asked before, but some new reasons)
Post by: lucky1064 on March 14, 2013, 03:51:33 AM
For now bitinstant is no longer doing any transfers to BTC (ver 7 vs 8 mess i guess) says at least a week.

I will write up a post tomorrow detailing my struggle and what I have found with the various services.  No good answers - trying local now. 

I'll list out the delays and hurdles for each.

but if anyone has a great idea of a place i can quickly say bring cash to my bank, enter my bank info and walk away with BTC  (w/o going thru shady country intermediaries), I would greatly appreciate it.

I highly recommend www.coinbase.com.  They are the cheapest by far (I believe .8% plus .15 ACH fee)

I like coinbase - have had it recommended a few times, but it looks like it is 2 guys running the place.  Been waiting a long time for bank verification (guessing 6 days at least, emailed, no response.) In a shorter time dwolla, square, and others have all linked to my account.

(This will be part of my comprehensive list tomorrow.) now i really am walking away from the cpu@!
