as for my "fresh" acct, i actually created it a week or so back when BitFunder had login troubles that kept kicking us to the front page after correct user/pass/otpauth...
full disclosure, I have stock in TAT.VIRTUALMINE and have gotten the dividends. I just wanted to share with others what I discovered...
Still, moreover, check out the competition COINBASE, that's how I will be getting my coins from now on with it's INSTANT, truly instant, BTCs, no waiting after you are level 2 user! yay
I use coinbase as well, but they don't allow credit cards, so btcquick has something that coinbase doesn't offer.
