Thanks! I can definitely try some other colors, anything particular you had in mind?

Couldn't seem to find a Bitcoin T-Shirt design that I liked so I brewed one on my own. Enjoy! (and make sure to email teespring to accept Bitcoin!)

Thanks!

So far I have had only good experiences with Coinbase, and at least for US residents it appears to be the easiest way to initially exchange fiat currency for bitcoins. If you are unsure, set up an account and purchase something like 0.01 BTC to test it out (transactions do take about a week to process, and until you meet certain criteria you can only make one purchase at a time). Mt Gox typically has the highest USD/BTC exchange rate but seems difficult to get verified on and nearly impossible to withdraw from.

For altcoins I have been trading on Cryptsy, and although their interface is a bit slow so far I haven't had too much trouble with them. But you need bitcoins first before you can trade altcoins there. The typical process is purchase bitcoins through coinbase, then transfer them to cryptsy to trade altcoins.

Another US based exchange is Kraken.com, which you can use to purchase bitcoins, ripple, namecoins, and maybe a few others (I can't remember off the top of my head). Their interface is really clean (much more like an actual trading platform with margin trading and other options), but their volume is a bit lower than some other platforms.

Hope that helps!
