https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Pooled_mining  gives a list with details.

Personally I like the convenience of eligius, no signing up required and just using your bitcoin address to identify yourself. But it comes down to personal preference.

head over to one of the exchanges and purchase some. tradehill has a lot of funding options, they say 50 different ones.

I don't have a bank account linked with my dwolla account. I signed up, confirmed with email, and it was active. Although the next day I did get a phone call from customer service of dwolla as a welcome call and verification. They did call my google voice number tho so I could have been anywhere.

Paypal rules say you can't use them for bitcoins. Anyone selling you BTC for paypal can have the transaction reversed and lose money.

If someone buys a container load of these and wants to sell then resell in packs of 10 at a discount I'd be interested, otherwise I'll stick to pricewatch showing which established place has them at a good deal. I mean even newegg ad Tigerdirect has 6970s for 340.

I've used both for small transactions. Both went smooth enough.

Last week MtGox had some dwolla issue so I couldn't withdraw for a few days. Tradehill is still processing dwolla transfers by hand so it can take a bit of time putting money in.

Tradehill is new so their volume is down, you can see it in the stats. That low will show up in the buy/sell prices. Once it grows a little it may get more o parity.

I wonder how long before tradehill shows up on the bitcoincharts?

I'm curious how they got around the safeguards built into the system. 1K a day isn't all that much.

What did the admin say about this, they should be able to show you an audit trail of where everything went.
