Bitcoin is a one-click thing in some countries, right? Stuff like OKPay. Banking regulations muck up the works in the U.S. So how can a U.S. customer make bitcoin a one-click thing? I was thinking something like setting up a foriegn bank account and/or or a foreign FOREX account? Also, let's list all the countries that love Bitcoin

Don't know much about this territory but hope to understand more.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

I already know about that. That's not one-click. Every seller has different methods. You might even have to physically meet them.

Give me an example of exactly what you mean by a "one click" solution.

Is it really true that you can't put up an exchange in the US?
What exactly is the reason they use for not providing you an account?

It's like a web store, you just select what you want to buy and you're done.

Coinbase is a US exchange based out of San Franscio.  I'm curious to know what regulations the OP is talking about that "muck" streamlined exchanges up.  I just see them as part of Silicon Valley's continual pushing of the cloud.

It's a wel established fact that places like OKPay that let you buy Bitcoins in one click are forbidden in the U.S.

Dude, it says "bank wire must be sent and post at destination bank before daily cutoff to be eligible for same day delivery."! I'm talking about buying bitcoins with a debit card! Apparently the only way is via a foreign bank account. But thanks for the site.

Sorry for making an unhelpful post but you will notice that the reason why buying Bitcoin is not a one click thing is simply because moving Fiat is hard. One of the reasons why Bitcoin rules. Also credit card companies, being centralized bullies, boycott what they please (including Bitcoin) otherwise maybe it would be a one-click thing.

This is totally possible and has been tried many times.  The problem is that due to charge backs it is not profitable and all such ventures soon close due to fraud losses.  A bitcoin ATM solves this problem.  Maybe that is what you are looking for.

It's been tried? I thought it was totally off limits. How come all the payment processors linked to the exchange exclude the USA in their "Select country" thing?

Thanks for the response, feebackloop.

Tomorrow I'm going to need to buy like $10 in Bitcoin. Can anyone help me out?

What does that mean? And what are the payment options?
