Title: Looking for a speedy exchange (US bank transfers)
Post by: jaz on November 22, 2013, 11:49:06 AM
Just found out about Bitcoin and I'm disgusted with myself that I'm so late to the party. :(  Anyways, I signed up at Coinbase just because it seems like one of the more reputable and newbie-friendly exchanges, but I'm wondering which exchanges have comparable (or even less?) fees compared to them that might be able to exchange BTC from a US bank account more quickly?  I don't mind if the process is more complicated -- I see that a lot of exchanges use intermediaries for bank transfers -- but I'd accept a little added complexity if the conversion between USD and BTC could be a little quicker or cheaper.  With all the exchanges out there and zero experience using them, I really don't know where to start.  Thanks.
