Topic: How Do You Buy BTC? - page 10. (Read 8969 times)
Dwolla to CampBx is the best. Not sure why, but CampBx has much faster Dwolla transfers than Gox and higher limits.
Hey guys, I was wondering how you buy bitcoins. What exchange/service do you use and why? I'm a newb and want to start buying some bitcoins and I'm leaning towards coinbase because of it's ease of payment, although I do not know how long it takes for bank transfers to complete. Gox is to centralized it seems, and getting money into Gox seems to be very hard, especially with Dwolla, which has many hoops on its own. I wish I could use a smaller exchange like Bitstamp, but I don't know how to easily deposit money there, and Bitinstant doesn't help much, I don't want to drive to do a cash deposit, and the fees are high. Thanks for your input

of course, if you are in the US, you use dwolla, it's the cheapest!
BTC-E is a decent exchange. Mt. Gox and bter are some other options for online trading.
have only traded other coins for BTC so far.
i like dwolla to gox, nearly fee free, just takes time to implement.
#bitcoin-otc with highly trusted person, or cash deposits.
If you're in the US, this company just recently got $5mil by Union Square Ventures and operate out of SF. https://coinbase.com/
I'm also new to BTC, but have recently joined and began using Mtgox, namely because they are currently the biggest. However, I do understand the criticisms of mtgox, manly them being unstable/ddos often, which seems to be occurring right now, as I cannot log on to mtgox.
I do face to face trades, meeting people in real life.
