Hi, I was wondering, for those of you who purchase your bitcoins (as opposed to mining them), how do YOU like to buy them? What is your favorite site/exchange/service for acquiring bitcoins?


Do you use different services if, for example, you need bitcoins quickly? Or do you just stick with one service?


Personally, I've done localbitcoins a few times and find that easy and quick, since I live in a big city with plenty of sellers. Smiley

I've tried a few different methods. If you can find a decent seller near you localbitcoins.com is an option.

Personally I like using Coinbase.com. They had a few hiccups early on during their beta, but seem to have figured things out. You do however have to link a bank account to them to use the service and I believe they're only available to people in the US.

Our family was terrorized by Homeland Security.  Read all about it here:  http://www.jmwagner.com/ and http://www.burtw.com/  Any donations to help us recover from the $300,000 in legal fees and forced donations to the Federal Asset Forfeiture slush fund are greatly appreciated!

Buying in Australia blows. Bank fees are harsh. It would be great if someone could implement a low cost method of buying in down under.
