Bitsimple is not available to NY residents that sucks.

Yes, NY, CA, and I think VA. The US is strange where you need each states approval for any sort of "banking related" business. NY is one of the tougher states to get approved in for anything, banking, securities, insurance etc.

bitsimple.com. spreads stink, but they do it right.

I think this is the easiest and most simple way but you'll pay maybe $10-15/coin vs an exchange. If you have a cc or paypal account you can get verified with 5 min via cc and 24 hr via paypal. US based in SC and basically run by member on this forum, so I would considered very trusted. Plus once you buy you have your coin super fast to do with what you want with it.

Debit card, Paypal or some such. I live rural so getting to banks for wire transfers are a bit more difficult and western union charges $65 for same day service now it's nuts.
As for my paypal I know there are many scammers but I use mine for sales on Ebay and would never jeopardize my perfect record by scamming anyone.
I also have made done trasnactions with BreathofZen on here and he can vouch for me. I am actually buying some gear from another trusted member on here as well. We are going to use Canaryinthemine for escrow once I get the BTC.

getcoincafe.com looks good and quick, but the price is *not* equivalent to bitstamp. Currently bitstamp is $790 and coin cafe $843.

Yeah, it's weird that they use a higher price. But when my transaction clears, it's always a lower price - in line with Bitstamp. Maybe they're just being conservative.

Oh that's weird. The higher price they quote on the home page will put people off. Perhaps its not real-time price quote or something. Bitcoin was at $843 but that was like a couple of days back Wink

getcoincafe.com works pretty well for me. rea;l fast and john is always there to answer questions.

I still like having coinbase on standby but coincafe is now my primary.

Do you know how to get an invite to be able to purchase with a debit card?
I live quite rural so it's a pain to go anywhere for WU and money orders and such unless there is a way to do that online?

I haven't tried the debit card yet. But I've used cash deposit and it's super fast. I also sent them a big check once and it took a couple days to clear, but I got my coins immediately after that. It was a personal check too.

Ya , I can walk to www.getcoincafe.com from my place, or I can stay home and buy it online zero fee and the price is actual, and its instantly recieved. I use btc-e.com to convert btc to altcoins. I wouldn't bother with btc-e.com due to the time it takes to send USD to the site and to convert btc to USD, because of the long delay if ever of getting fiat back to my bank. If your in North America.. ya have to wait a long time

localbitcoins is super expensive... coin cafe is just as fast, and the price is in line with Bitstamp.

price of localbitcoins is not fixed. Every seller has a different price. I agree some ask ridiculous amounts but you just filter them out.

I'll take a look at coin cafe though.

Hi everyone,
I am wondering if there is a quicker way to buy BTC than waiting the week + on coinbase?
I have a coinbase account but due to their ID Verification system being messed up I have to wait a week + for any BTC I buy.
This is immensely frustrating I just want to buy about .76 of BTC for a transaction and not wait forever.
Are there any quick exchanges?

Thanks

There aren't really any quick exchanges because they have to verify your identify first.

bitstamp.net is very efficient at that. Don't go anywhere near gox.

If you want coins really quick, use localbitcoins.com

Localbitcoins.com can be the fastest. You can buy face-to-face with cash or make a cash bank deposit and have bitcoins in an hour (potentially).
