So i'm looking to buy some bitcoin...
Depends what you mean by "some". If it's less than $500, why not try localbitcoins? Do it in cash, enable the escrow and you're GTG. If its more, well, I'd feel a bit jumpy schlepping around so much cash. Otherwise, you might as well just use an exchange like Virtex. Safer.
Another (less direct) way is to consider buying a mining contract using a credit card - Or is it possible to use PayPal or even (anonymously) a postal money order?. But of course, CAVEAT EMPTOR. With all the hashing coming onstream real-soon-now who knows how that will play out.
Good luck. These are exciting times. Historic, even.
