Every BTC or LTC transaction I've done so far has been some crazy ass backdoor redneck deal.  This is ridiculous.  If we don't soon get a legit way to buy coins the market will die.

Which ones?

I've submitted my info to Mt Gox for verfication but have heard nothing.

I would do business with btc-e but I don't want to send my info to any of the money services they use.

So far I've found no legit, straight-forward way to buy coins.

How hard is it to use one of the 1000 exchanges out there? I have never done it but I am fairly certain AurumXChange offers such a service, you cant get more trusted then them... they are a MtGox affiliate.

Yes. American even. But I've read bad things about coinbase on reddit. You have successfully used it?

After you actually have a successful transaction, let me know.  You have no clue until you actually try.

Coinbase & Mt. Gox are the best so far which I have found. Contact them & try and ask them why they are not accepting you.

I'll ping them.  But I just read today that Mt Gox is opening 20,000 new accounts per day, so I think they're overwhelmed.  And now with them being sued by CoinLabs it will probably only get worse.

Coinbase has been decent thus far. Took about 3 business days to verify my bank account info using the deposit methods, similar to the way paypal verifys a bank account.

The only downside is trying to buy through coinbase. They sometimes "exceed" thier order volume and you put in an order that ends up being a few days out, so you dont know what the market price will be then.
