that's the whole point of BC anyway right?
Why is it so hard to do?
MtGox accepts Dwolla, but Dwolla wants my bank account and address -- um, no thx.
Bitmarket.eu needs you to prove yourself.

I buy prepaid credit cards at the mall, and I wish to use these to buy bitcoins.
I am willing to pay a premium, and I am willing to wait for an escrow to eliminate the possibility
of "chargebacks".  Is there no service where this is possible?

Thanks,

ME

Enter into a private transaction where you exchange cash for BTC.

You can just buy the coins normally, then "launder" them through a couple wallets, deposit into mtgox, then take back out, etc, the trail would be super hard to follow.

I've heard good stories about:
https://www.bitcoin4cash.com/
(it doesn't look like he has a lot available though at the moment...)

Just follow the directions carefully and don't make an obvious fake name on the envelope that may look suspicious...

Exchanging cash is 1) dangerous (if you do it person to person) or 2) unsecure (if you mail it in an envelope) or 3) annoying and time consuming (if you buy a money order).

Paypal would be nice, but people are afraid of chargebacks..

Thanks for the tips guys ;)

Using the exchanges is more time consuming, but it's easier to buy BTC that way once you're actually signed up for one of them.

The other way is to exchange cash or credit for a Radeon card and mine bitcoins :)

Another idea is to buy a MoneyPak card, which is anonymous AND irreversible. However, only a few people will likely take them, since you aren't allowed to cash out the money to a bank.

You can use [urlhttp://www.iwantfreebitcoins.com]iWantFreeBitCoins.com[/url] to earn BitCoins.  You can have them sent to any BitCoin address you want.  So there wouldn't be any cash/credit/identity trail.  

We dont require an email to sign up either.

Thanks all for your replies.
I will check into the reputation of bitcoin4cash.com et al
and try sending cash in the mail.  Too bad MtGox cant just
offer a pay-by-credit-card service (with escrow).
Cheers,

I have not personally used this site but I have heard good things:

https://www.nanaimogold.com/index.php

Readers might find this useful. It's a no minimum fully automatic trade between bitcoin and LR, both hard currencies.

https://www.nanaimogold.com/bitcoin.php

Also a handy currency calculator, gold, sliver, EUR, GBP, BTC and others, and some auction prices for comparison.

I'm currently offering a Western Union to bitcoin service at NO CHARGE. Select the options you need on this page;

Because bitcoin is designed to be anonymous, and because private money should remain private, I do not entertain discussion in public. If you need to ask me a question, you can contact me in private through this form;

Nanaimo Gold does not require users to open accounts and never asks users for ID.

Have heard good things about direct deposits with BitInstant, you still have to go into the bank and make the deposit so I guess it's semi anonymous. (Hood up and face away from cameras etc)
Heard of some people still doing direct deposits into MtGox too, although MtGox advise against it so it's pretty risky.

If you look around there are also a couple of people that accept cash in the mail for coins, imo this is probably the most anonymous you can get doing a cash for coin exchange, just the trust issue to deal with there.

Sell cash in the mail, or prepaid gift cards, on something like bitmit.net or bitcoinclassifieds.net

did you actyally find a way?
bitcoin4cash.com seems down. nanaimogold.com has disabled by mail payment option and LR is not easy to fund anonymously.

I can do bitcoin for cash in the mail.  You mail me cash and an address (preferably as a QR code because I'm lazy), and I'll convert it at the rate on the day I receive it and send it the the address in the envelope.  PM for my mailing address if you're interested.

This.

Also you can run it through some throwaway addresses, it might be traceable but it should give you plausable deniability. Depends what you're after.

Its a shame there are no co-op cafe type places in the local comunity where people could get to know one another and build trusting relationships..Its kind of weird arranging cash transactions with internet strangers.
I am kind of boycotting banks which makes it harder to get bitcoins and is kind of why ime new here.

Is there a trading system with bitcoin where traders have a relaible feedback system?

Look up bitcoin-otc  . It is an IRC channnel and bot that takes a little while to learn but it's precisely what you're describing.

Thanks i was looking at that ages ago when i first looked at bit coin..Will have another look though i confess.
It was a little over my head :-[
I dont even know what an IRC channnel is.. :-[

Bitfloor does a good job. check out their rebate program. The most anonymous method they offer involves going to a bank and making a cash deposit. There is no fee for the deposit. Then you can use bitfloor's exchange. Generally there are good rates too for buyers. Easy to use.

going to a bank is not anonymous..  :-\

Why not? Anyone can make a cash deposit. The teller is not likely to ask you for ID.

Nanaimo Gold offers several anonymous vectors for payment and some others that can be proxied by creative folk.

Also fully automatic trading of several hard currencies.

Nobody is ever asked for ID and you don't even have to make an account.

You don't even have to share your email address for most trades, and for those that do need it, you can use mailinator, jetable, tormail or other email anonymisers.

For anyone capable of lifting his ass from the chair, anywhere in the world, it's possible to buy bitcoin anonymously from Nanaimo Gold.

in your site, it seems impossible to buy bitcoins with cash by mail option. Right? Why's that?

Yes, I accept cash by mail. The mailing address is not published due to abuse.

I don't read this forum so questions are better received via my contact form. I don't spam, but you can use jetable or mailinator et al if you prefer.

I frequently send cash in mail (usps) to several people on bitcoin otc for BTC.  Look for people with a good rating, among other scrutinizing factors.  Have yet to have any issue, thankfully.   You may also find people there that will sell for less than Mt Gox for large orders. 

Also, once you get a rating up on OTC you may find people there that want to buy your prepaid credit cards for BTC.
