You can try CampBX. They accept USPS money orders. You could overnight or 2nd day one down to them in Atlanta.
But I feel you. It's taken me a month to get stuff set up. I just spammed a bunch of different services (dwolla, different exchanges, verifications, blah, blah...).
It is all slow and expensive. The fiat to BTC link is ridiculous.
Right now I'm doing business on bitfinex. They are in Hong Kong and I'm just doing international wires. The cost sucks (like $30 a pop).
At least the wires are getting there in a day and a half.
once its BTC, tho, its all golden. fast and easy.

shouldn't we be writing in Latin, the traditional language of the elite?

Bitfinex.
Low to no fees. Easy margin trading, long or short.

Everyone has TOR installed, right?

and I currently own 1/27000th of that hashing -- and profit making -- power! (before fees of course)

Are Verified accounts really that big of a deal? Now if it was 'Trusted' maybe that would be something.
But even that is just about going to a notary.
But if you can get 150 for it that is awesome.
maybe I'll try to sell mine!

Isn't most of it going to BTCGuild?
I for one welcome our new hashing overlords.

When engaging with the the Bitcoin economy, most people have to also deal with the fiat banking system -- getting fiat into an exchange, getting fiat out, etc. Users see these two banking systems side by side everyday.
That experience drives home the benefits of bitcoin. How much time is wasted waiting for International Wires to clear, for ACH deposits to clear, for funds to be released? It is maddening!
Compare that to the experience of moving, say, from LTC to BTC on BTC-E, then transfering to Mt. Gox then on to another exchange. It's effortless. No paperwork, no disclosures, no forms. And you wait maybe an hour per hop, often less.
Once you go to bitcoin banking you never want to go back. Fiat banks seem like slo-motion (and expensive!) dinosaurs.

This doesn't seem like that big of a deal. It's not like the instawallet / easywallet google hole.

nice looking auction.
how are you planning on handling requests to pay in bitcoin?
I'd love to know how it works out.

Just some quick fan mail.
As a total newbie to mining, the PI, minePeon and a BFL FPGA have worked effortlessly.
I'm almost one month past my lunch hour install. I've had exactly ZERO down time or problems.
Rock solid, 24/7 hashing.
Great project!

I have a related noob question. If you have the public and private key printed out, maybe just as QR codes, (like what you can make at http://www.bitaddress.org) and you want to spend them, is there any online wallet or exchange that lets you just input those two keys and access the coins, or do you have to do it by importing keys though a wallet client application on your computer, then transfer it to on online exchange? |

Two things, one good one not so good.
The price change means the early adopters have come out ahead.
So that's good (assuming they eventually ship)
The bad thing is the listed hash rates. These are lower than the previously listed speeds. That means the power/speed problems they have been having are serious. They are planning to scale back the speeds to compensate for the power issue.
They have previously said that you will get the speed you paid for. I wonder if that means people will get jalapeños to make up for the under hashing of the original SC units?
