I was thinking get a greendot moneypak at like a Wal-Mart or something https://www.moneypak.com/

Then find someone on the forums and do a transaction with clearcoin. Any other fast ways?

I mean cash. Cold hard cash. Federal Reserve Notes. Paypal money isn't cash.

You need to state where you are and find someone in the area for an in-person transaction.
tradebitcoin.com maybe can help-

Or send someone a westernunion transfer costing $10 in fees probably and get BTC in return-

MoneyPaks are good, easy, and fairly fraud resistant. I've probably bought $1500 worth of them so far. Their only downside is that in order to deposit more than $200 or something into Paypal, the receiver must give them a bunch of information. There are a few traders on #Bitcoin-OTC who have jumped through those hoops and accept MoneyPaks though.

What about the cheapest way to do it?
Is it mtgox?
I'm in spain, so I prefer to do it through paypal instead of internacional transfers.

2 different forms of free-money: Freicoin (free of basic interest because it's perishable), Mutual credit (no interest because it's abundant)

In Spain you can use http://bitcoin.com.es/ via bank transfer. Probably the fastest way and cheap if your bank allows transfer with no commision.

a 2% fee plus the banks fee.

In paypal to mtgox (LR USD) the price is:

"I’m currently charging 7% (includes paypal’s commission) with a $1 minimum commission for transferring money into Mt. Gox."

But now (i haven't see it before) you can add funds to mtgox directly:

"If you have a European bank account you can send a SEPA direct deposit IN EURO to our european account, free of charges"

Anyway, Thank you for the info.

Seems like this issue is begging for some entrepreneur to do something about it.

Tips are appreciated (very tiny tips are perfectly okay!) 13gDRynPfLH3NNAz3nVyU3k3mYVcfeiQuF

I'm aware that services like this exist like Bitcoin2Cash and Bitcoin4cash. But Bitcoin4cash takes an UNGODLY amount of time(Canada needs to step up their mail service something two-three weeks to receive a letter is completely outrageous), is Bitcoin2Cash US based(therefore it should only take 3-4 days for US to US cash mail transfer)?
