+1, easy to use and very nearly instant to get bitcoins.

supporting
looking forward to the roll out to the rest of 'Merica

Unfortunately looks like it costs about 9%...

~3% worse exchange rate than coinbase plus a 6% processing fee.  It would also be nice if they showed fees somewhere before the whole registration process.

Hmm, looks decent, but is it better than Circle?

I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out.  The more the better  Circle , Trucoin etc,. etc., .....

There is a small markup over the spot price and the processing fee.

Trucoin has mentioned as they start to grow and have more volume, they would like to put pressure on their processors to lower the cost. Bitcoin is deemed risky by payment processors because of fraud and because of that it's still an unknown to them, hence the higher fees.

You can't get instant anywhere else that doesn't include some hidden fees (circle)
You also can't get limits that high instantly there either..

When working with visa or MasterCard unfortunately there is no way around interchange fees.

The Einsteinium News is a good news crytpocurrency publication, all stories are self-written, each author is writing about his coin, her company, their product, her service, and/or himself; some are pros most are not, all have a message to share with the larger community.

We want The Einsteinium News to be the place where products and services go to make a good first impression.  100% FUD-free so you can enjoy the informative cryptocurrency (CC) articles as well as the great giveaways, and sweet shopping items.

Currently all content is published FREE not just the news and information but also the ads, and shopping page listings.  In time, many will have rates associated with them.  When that time comes we will accept all exchange listed CCs.  Individual sellers on the Shopping page may specify CC preferences (we automatically escrow all funds).

Our publication encourages various communities to extend their reach beyond their current walls to form new relationships -- strategic partnerships.  In this way communities can share knowledge and experiences with other communities so all can prosper.   Good contractors are hard to find so when one is found that info should be shared, bad contractors seem to be in abundance so the bad guys should also be identified.  Strategic partners help one another with  whatever they can do.

If the first level of CC development is coin and community creation, involving software creation for the coin and organizing to form a community, and if the second level is getting major CC exposure with placement on a prominent exchange, then the third level would be utility -- a CC graduates from a commodity to a currency with utility.   Our publication will help you where we can every step of the way.

If you have a press release, a story about a product or service, a giveaway, or an advertisement submit it.  We want to share your positive CC vision with our readers.   Please remember to include website & social media links, video, logo, photo and/or graphic to make your reading material more attractive and engaging.  

We are located at www.Einsteinium.biz, don’t mind the dust, and sparse shelves, we’re still under construction during this soft-launch -- yup, volunteers are needed.

Worked awesome for me, I don't mind the extra 1 or 2% in fees to not have to wait a week to buy.

Great site, I will be sharing this site in the future to people who ask, "Where can I buy some Bitcoin?"

Yes because it's instant and Trucoin processes CC purchases as a straight transaction, whereas Circle was processing as cash advances
