I was even able to show my 75 year old mother how to use CoinBase.

Do you have a bank account?

Yes. American even. But I've read bad things about coinbase on reddit. You have successfully used it?

I have succesfully used it to buy 1 BTC just to test it.

I helped a buddy at work buy 1 BTC as well. Buying large amounts seems to be the difficulty. I used MtGox for that.

Stop using branwallets

I've wondered about localbitcoins too, if you live in a populated area you might be able to do a face to face cash for bitcoins exchange.

Bank transfer to Dwolla to CampBX has been working ok for me (usually takes about 3 days for the whole process).

Good to know. I've setup an account with Dwolla to use with Mt Gox, but until Mt Gox verifies my account it's no use there.

CampBX is a new exchange?

Not sure-- I think they've been operating for about a year.

Have you tried localbitcoins?
You don't have to do a face to face deal. There are people selling that accepts bank transfers.

But use it only for small amounts. It doesn't sound like you are a trader though, so why the rush?

What's that exchange rate?

Coinbase has been decent thus far. Took about 3 business days to verify my bank account info using the deposit methods, similar to the way paypal verifys a bank account.

The only downside is trying to buy through coinbase. They sometimes "exceed" thier order volume and you put in an order that ends up being a few days out, so you dont know what the market price will be then.

Coinbase & Mt. Gox are the best so far which I have found. Contact them & try and ask them why they are not accepting you.

I'll ping them. But I just read today that Mt Gox is opening 20,000 new accounts per day, so I think they're overwhelmed. And now with them being sued by CoinLabs it will probably only get worse.

How hard is it to use one of the 1000 exchanges out there? I have never done it but I am fairly certain AurumXChange offers such a service, you cant get more trusted then them... they are a MtGox affiliate.

After you actually have a successful transaction, let me know. You have no clue until you actually try.
