I have been using Coinbase to buy bitcoin lately and have found it to be the simplest, lowest cost, if not the fastest alternative for online purchasing I have tried. They use convenient and very low cost (15 cent) ACH transfers to withdraw money from a bank account you designate to buy bitcoin, or into which to deposit money when you sell bitcoin. Because of the ACH transfer, it currently requires a US bank account.  Their fee is only 1%, which is much lower than other services like Bitinstant, which charges 3.99% and also entails “surprise” charges by other intermediaries like TrustCash, which can raise the total charge to over 10% depending on how much you buy.

The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

I have put other blog post announcements here in the past and no one ever complained.

If not here, where?
