I had an account with Coinbase for a year or so, mostly using it as a place to buy bitcoin with a debit card or wire transfer and send it off to somebody.  Then my big run-in with them happened where a couple of transactions never got to the other end despite being withdrawn from my bank account.  So I filed a case with them, meanwhile checked the Better Business Bureau and 193 people had complained there about them.  So I filed cases with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  So since they probably won't speak to me anymore I need to find someplace else to do business.

I do have an Electrum local wallet, I'm looking for a place that will let me buy fractional amounts of bitcoin with my debit card when I need a little.  Mostly small transactions under $200 or so.  If they also do Litecoin that would be good since I mine that a little.  Mainly I'm looking for a place I can trust that has good recommendations.  I guess what would be ideal is a bank or credit union that also dealt with bitcoin, and was FDIC insured, that whole bit.
