Withdraw from Dwolla back to your bank.  Send a bank wire.

Sucks I realize, but you asked for "shortest amount of time possible".

You might find some traders for smaller amounts on the MtGox <--> Dwolla thread here on the forum or on #bitcoin-otc.  I'm not sure if Camp BX is also on the list of exchanges you aren't able to use for the 30 days but you could try.

August 9, 2012, forum user Friedcat describes investment opportunity for ASICMINER, which was to produce the chips to be mined by related organization MOORE mining.  $100K USD funds raised via GLBSE (equity crowdfunding), a record for a GLBSE raise, I believe, up until that time.

ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

February 14th, 2013, ASICMINER running 2.0 Thash/s against BTC GUILD, with much more to com:

The first couple of weekly dividends on those ASICMINER shares were returning dividends of well over a third of the initial investment (in terms of BTCs dividend versus BTCs issued at).

Incidentally, the question on Reddit got a decent response:

Are you in the U.S.?  If so, withdrawing to Dwolla cost just $0.25 per transaction and then from there withdrawing to your bank is free (as an ACH transfer).

If you do a bank wire, it can cost a certain amount from Mt. Gox (roughly in the ~$20 range) and your bank may charge for an incoming wire as well (also about $20 or less).

There are multiple cash-out methods available to you:

Wire transfers may incur delays before Mt. Gox sends the funds out.

I see it in the pull-down.

Also at the bottom it shows:
 "Dwolla LIVE | Paypal LIVE | All Reserves UP!"

It is a numbers game.  Eventually someone won't know how the site works, and will click the wrong thing and send funds.   Easy money, if you are doing it from a Internet cafe in some developing country.



Now that needs to be made possible to do.

Did you pay with a credit card or from your existing balance (or maybe Instant transfer from your bank?)

I saw the Bitcoin address in there and nearly jumped out of my seat thinking that BandCamp was accepting Bitcoin for payment now.    Then I realized it was showing because it was in your description.

Catchy tune!  And the price bumped up a little while I was listening, so I'll hold off from overplaying it until we need the help.   

At certain income ranges you don't even need to file a return.  Though if you need to report capital gains I'm not sure if you can avoid it.    The threshold is $400 for net self employment income.

If you claim the mining income as revenue then you can deduct the electricity and amortize the hardware cost (instead of Section 179 expense since you wanted to depreciate over multiple years.)


Either cashed out or spent or gifted even.

Did this completely replace the cash deposit option at any bank then?

You are referring to ACH so presumably that means you are in the U.S.   If so the suggestions so far are good, Coinbase, up to $100 per drawn from your bank account, until you have 30 days then it can get bumped to a higher limit.    You don't get the coins right away but the exchange rate is locked in (with the presumption there that they don't determine it to be "high risk" and cancel it between after you started waiting and when their deadline for delivery arrives).

BitFloor, cash deposit at Bank of America (no account needed there) or online if you have an CapitalOne 360/ING account.

A method using Dwolla is likely the cheapest, though there too you are stuck during a starting 30-day probationary period before you can use the funds for deposit to a Bitcoin exchange.  Once you are past that though it work great, just $0.25 per-transaction.   The exchanges that take Dwolla currently are Camp BX and MtGox, and more are coming.

There might be some other methods that work for you as well.  Ziggap is down for maintenance at the moment but they have a cash deposit method through Western Union.

Here's the fairly comprehensive list:

Biggest DDoS (i.e., most bits per second thrown at them) in "ages" was the comment I read.  There was a lot of speculation in the #mtgox IRC channel about the possibly reasons why and when.

The retailer is an agent of the issuer (who is registered as a money service business and money transmitter).  Agents do not need to register, but the issuer does need to provide to FinCEN a list of every agent who sells the gift cards:
 - http://www.fincen.gov/financial_institutions/msb/agentlist.html


I think there are a lot of lawyers getting billable work from BitInstant.com, Ziggap.com, Coinlab.com, Coinbase.com, BitFloor.com, CampBX.com, WeExchange.co, FastCash4Bitcoins.com, BitcoinsDirect.com, Coinsetter.com, and Kraken.com, OKPay.com, BTCPak.com, BitSpend.com, BTCInstant.com, BTCBuy.info, Coinabul.com, and others.

And that's just ones based in the U.S.,   FinCEN has made it pretty clear that if you serve customers from the U.S., the same registration requirements apply -- so include MtGox.com, Bitcoin-Central.net, BITSTAMP.net, BTC-E.com, VirtEx.com, VirWoX.com, BitcoinNordic.com, LocalBitcoins.com, etc., etc, etc, in the list that would want to keep a close eye on how the U.S. law applies to them.  Or not.
 - http://www.fincen.gov/statutes_regs/guidance/html/FIN-2013-G001.html

There are not very many companies that are registered as money transmitters.   

Western Union, Moneygram, Amazon Payments, ADP Payroll, Blackhawk network (gift card issuer), Google Payments, Green Dot (Moneypak issuer), PayPal, Sigue (took over money transmitting role for Coinstar), Skrill (Moneybookers issuer), Travelex (travel foreign currency exchange), Xoom.

(and maybe a dozen smaller names as well.)

The reason so few are money transmitters is because each state has its own laws, many require bonding or minimum capital requirements, etc.
 - http://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/table_financial

i.e., don't expect any "redeemable code" issuers like Mt. Gox, AurumXChange/VouchX, BITSTAMP, BTC-E, etc, to become licensed money transmitters.  And if any then do happen to become licensed, then don't expect the instrument to be used anonymously for amounts larger than the $500 range.

In the U.S. a redeemable code that transmits value would probably be the same as "prepaid access", the term used now for stored value instruments. Issuing those requires a Money Service Business registration at the federal level and approval as a Money Transmitter in 47 of the U.S. states. (i.e., which none of the exchanges are likely in a position to do).

Now if this just impacts fiat-denominated codes (e.g., USD, EUR, etc.) or if it also would apply to BTC-denominated stored value instruments I have no idea.

Either way, Mt. Gox is no longer going to be issuing either MTG USD redeemable codes nor MTG CAD redeemable codes to anyone, from anywhere beginning April 10th, 2013.

So you believe this line on the right hand side has finished rising then?

Because that spike is even before this metric ton of ASICs about ready to ship will start reaching the hands of thousands of some very anxious miners.

[Edit: So unless you personally will cover the balance between the cost of acquiring an FPGA today and the fraction of a bitcoin it will earn over the next year, then it might be best when you are handing out a prediction about new spending being "cost effective" that you clarify that with the disclaimer that nobody knows the future difficulty nor the future BTC/USD exchange rate to be able to make such predictions.]

This is a problem today for all Blockchain users with SMS / two-factor authentication

[En Espanol, via Google Translate] Este es un problema para todos los usuarios hoy Blockchain con SMS / autenticación de dos factores


See:

That is AES encryption, so you are pretty safe unless you happen to operate on a compromised system (e.g., with keylogger malware) or that person that broke into your e-mail account was your friend and instead of texting someone with her phone while sitting next to you she was instead filming you as you entered your two passwords.

Second passwords are not a form of two-factor authentication (2FA).

Ha, Windows.  That's probably why I remember reading that it was a little bit of a hassle early on ... for Linux and Mac users.

For Mt. Gox, the only cash deposit method is through BitInstant, which accepts cash in the U.S. only at Moneygram locations (e.g., 7-11, Walmart, CVS, etc.).

For BitFloor you can deposit cash at Bank of America for credit to your BitFloor account.
