If bitcoin is going to take off...

There are quite a few places now doing PayPal->BTC

From what I understand, PayPal is against this, that is why you don't see it being offered anywhere.

I use VirVox, which is a place that doesn't directly trade your USD from PayPal for BTC. Clever!

It's first Paypal>VirVox, then USD>SLL (second life money), SSL>BTC and BTC>BTC wallet. Downside to this is all the transaction fees you have to put up with. Upside is that you get the money there instantly, so you can buy your buttcoins when you want to!

Why taking off?

By taking off, I mean becoming popular and accepted by the masses.  Like paypal, for example.

That would be a good thing, right?

Oh, i got it now.

Well, I'm thinking the easiest way to buy bitcoins might be to just do a wire transfer to AurumXchange.

But now I'm thinking about mining them...

Prepare to take off.

Paypal is not against Bitcoin in particular. It doesn't like any non-tangible goods trading from anyone who is not established and proven juristic person. So one can get Bitcoins for Paypal, Moneybookers or credit card on regular basis from a company but expect mark up like 15-20%.

Bitcoin transfer through Paypal.
