I've been trying to get Bitcoins for the past few days and not having too much success. Partially out of desperation I messaged TangibleCryptography to buy coins off of him. Not only did he not ignore the fact that I'm a newbie and deal with me (not so common on the boards), he also set me up with the easiest way to get bitcoins without needing to jump through any verification hoops / waiting periods. As soon as I get whitelisted out of here I'm going to +1 his service in the Marketplace. If you're despairing over getting some bitcoins, this is the forum guy to talk to.

New poster here in the same boat, got 500$ dwolla and nothing to do with it for the next month. There really should be a warning or something about this somewhere on MtGox or Dwolla. Anyone interested in exchanging for MtGoxUSD? I'm so frustrated trying to get money into MtGox I'll even trade at a 1:1 rate.
