YES, It IS really frustrating!
Today is makes ONE week trying to get bitcoins...
1) My balances now are just from free web faucets. They took several days to arrive to my wallet (so much for the "instant" payments!) and so small that the fees to move them are bigger, (at least when they are recent, I read somewhere).
2) I also posted an advertisement on localbitcoins without luck so far.
3) Right now there are more than 8000 "identities" before mine to be reviewed on mtgox, so I can't use that either yet. This seems that is going to take a month or more, slower than opening up a new company or business in Spain, and THAT is saying something!
4) Yesterday I was about to buy though bitcoin SMS, but when I saw the calculations; ONLY half or less of the fiat money goes to buy BTCs and the rest is keep by someone else... I refused to get ripped off.
If I am also "retarded" may be someone (anyone) "wiser" could enlighten me and tell me what I am doing wrong...

Don't get upset. Try to ignore people who comes into your way and post meaningless statements - it is part of the game. Get over it. Read my post above. I have been in your shoes as well. First thing you would want to do is go register at coinbase, and be patient. Continue your search for btc, but keep on trying at coinbase. Good luck. Thanks, but coinbase doesn't seem for me. I live in Spain, and they don't seem to support Euros exchange or European/Spanish banks. Coinbase sucks man. It almost seems like they just want the numbers so they can raise more money. F the customer is what I seem to get from Coinbase |

i can wait to see those days when everyone will sell and not buy when everyone will panic. coinbase change the strategy bitinstant froze btc since now it's 1 dollar in 3 hours its 4 so they have to gain as much as possible. Try dwolla and exchange your funds here. 1 btc here 2 btc there and you will get your 1000 btc in a couple of hours  Read dwolla is lacking in the tech or customer service. Im so screwed...waiting on ePiSKing to reply back. Tried coinbase again and still nothing...its been almost three hours and still nothing... |

cryptocurrent.com
Email: info at cryptocurrent dot com
It's a shame their site is down at a time like this.
They are legitimate, very safe, but you pay for the added anonymity (5% fee).
That is my preferred choice of purchasing coins, I do it in bulk there ($2000+ transactions).
Go to bank of america, give them cash with crypto's account, e-mail crypto to confirm, boom. Within minutes, BTCBTCBTC .
Another options is bitinstant, but it's kind of lame because you have to go through a 3rd party, and it gets messy with a paper trail. The fee is less, however.
Last time I used bitinstant I had to break up $1500 into three payments of $500, then give my full name and address and explain to the clerk at the money order service what it was for.
Bitinstant took a very short time to transfer as well. Both services are great, but I'm a customer for life with crypto. GREAT service! Bitinstant is slightly more obscure, in my opinion.
*is not a cryptocurrent spokesperson*
Best of luck!
Just emailed them and waiting...thanks! Also Im going to pass on bitinstant too much tech difficulty on their part. |

I have noticed around the newbie board that a lot of people want to buy their first bircoin, but don't know how to go about doing just that. So I have launched a quick website to help those in need of one (1) bitcoin to get them started. If you are looking to buy BTC10 then go someplace else. I will accept almost all payment methods, but they will vary from person to person. Most importantly I have reputation on this forum, and with other members of the site. I don't want to dig through and list them all now, as it is quite early in my country, but this is more of an announcement of the site than anything else. (I will gather some refrences if need be but only when the sun is up for godsake) Alrighty, to get to the point the site is called www.supplybitcoins.com and is available only to newbies who need to get their very first bitcoin. Weather to keep/spend/trade; whatever you want to do to stimulate the BTC economy, and get involved in this currency revolution easily. Again, if you are looking to buy large amounts of bitcoin do not bother emailing me because I will not deal with you. I hope that many of you newbies can benefit from this service, as well as the bitcoin community as a whole. Thank you, -battmann Awesome effort but only one isnt enough. Where can one buy @ least $1,000 worth with low fees and w/o the hassles. |

I am really getting frustrated, I have been surfing the internet all day and watching youtube videos and still cannot figure out how to buy some damn bitcoins (very pissed off by now  ). I want to use my credit card or bank account to buy some bitcoins and cannot figure out how to easily do this. It is really frustrating! It seems like MT.GOX want you to jump through a thousand hoops to buy anything and do not simply accept a credit card or bank account purchase like any normal person. (am i missing something) I have been all over their website and cannot figure it out.  I registered with coinbase.com several days ago but every day I go on their site they have a message that says "We've exceeded our normal buy limits for today." and every time I go on their site for the past few days this message is there. I am getting more and more pissed off about this. there is tuns of stuff on line about what to do with bitcoins when you got them and how to buy more bit coins when you have added funds to your acount but nothing I can find about how to add funds to an account to buy those bitcoins with.  Please can someone tell me what I am doing wrong or missing... Thanks! Coinbase? I know! So frustrated!! |

Where are you located, geographically speaking? I think your only hope is a local face-to-face transaction.
Germany! and you? |

I feel you. Did everything work out for you? I hope so...just tried coinbase AGAIN and still max limit. Just signed up for liberty dollars and had to take a phone call and it logged me off. Tried getting back online again and it will not take the PW Liberty Dollar gave me! I only signed up for liberty dollars since someone here recommended me localbitcoins.com. Found a buyer but they accept Liberty Dollars. Now I learned they accept other forms such as Netteller. Spend the past hour BSing and still no BTC. Now Im going to have to read up and calculate all the fees as I learned independant exchanges has their own rules and fee on-top fees. F me... |

Are you mentally challenged?
A newbie comes here for help and you call him/her mentally challenged? Nice community yahl got here, thanks and Im sure you will go far in this thing called life. It was a well reasoned question. Seeing how you are unable to get registered and approved MtGox (which is like, super easy) I figured something else could be wrong. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. No hurt feelings report has ever been filed agianst you and never will. Trust me you do not intimidate me. Been through so much things in my short life. Buying BTC anon and trying not to get ripped off does, LOL! |

What about
localbitcoins.com
This is how I got my first bitcoins
Got any tips on the process and people you can trust? |

Try coinbase and/or instawallet. bitinstant
Coinbase (tried over 20X's spread over 8 days) reached its max limit and bitinstant is not clearing funds. There's a OP started on this. Also instawallet got hacked? so did mtgox. |

As the post says, I need help! Been trying like crazy to buy some lately but always run into snags--try almost ten hours researching various ways. Signed up for most major btc exchanges and there's one things (verify ID) or another that makes it difficult to purchase any only to watch the price rise like crazy. Also, I initially got into BTC so I can give a FAT F U to our slave controllers and free the people of usury interest. How can people here try to sell you btc charging interest above 5% of mtgox website? Why does one have to ask, why cant they just say 6.5% or higher! Kind of misleading if you ask me a newbie. If the community makes it harder to purchase btc; it will not catch on and your btc can and will become worthless. There are many sitting in the sidelines now. This really put a bad taste in my mouth. Am i being unreasonable?

Try out localbitcoins.com

Bitcoin-24.com is operated by germans, but actually uses a polish bank account (the same as MtGox), shouldn't be a problem to wire from a US bank account.
Bitcoin.de seems to also support LibertyReserve.
Thanks for the suggestions but I refuse to send in my photo ID due to security issues. Im not anywhere near being a criminal but rather value freedom and privacy above all else. Also there seems to be a daily limit much like coinbase. I hate coinbase!! Tried purchasing btc over 20X's spread over 5 days and i cant buy any from coinbase since they keep reaching their max daily limit. What a bunch of non sense. |

What about using bitcoin.de or bitcoin 24 . Com
Wow! That was fast! Does one need to be a German citizen with a German bank account? Because I only have a US based bank account. Taking money out of ATM's are easy but buying bitcoins is such a hassle!! LOL |

Hi all, Just some background info. I managed to buy only 10 bitcoins a few weeks ago on coinbase and now they keep running into daily limits and cant sell me any only to watch the price of bitcoin skyrocket. Anyhow, what do you guys reccomend as the easiest way to buy bitcoin here near Germany/FrankFurt main HBF? Are there any other ways to do it safely online? I read and read and read but still cant seem to purchase any. Im a US citizen here in Germany. Please advise...danke shun!   BTW: Im price sensitive to huge fees. Trying to purchase $1,000 at a time, danke shun in advance... |
