Could you help me get to 50 post?  I really need to post in the sections with the experienced people.

Check out this thread from the rumor mill:  http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=22441.0

blue sky traders seems to have a good rep and a good business plan, if you are near a BoA it's a good and relatively easy option.

I plan to try them when they open back up on Tues.  And don't forget to use PGP!

Did you see the free bitcoin contest in the forum?? 

Also have you tried buying bitcoin from a UFO?

If you are in America, I have had nothing but good experiences with bitinstant through moneygram. It can sometimes be a bit difficult guiding the cashier through a process they may have never done before, but it is fairly simple, works, and does not require a ton of ID.

I am going to try at CVS tomorrow.. I had purchased ten at a place called Coinbase - and I still have 6 more days to wait for them to clear my payment.  I wish I had understood more before I bought with Coinbase.   I sure hope CVS and the moneygram works in the morning.. I'm tired of waiting for my money to go into a wallet..... so I can figure out how to get it to SR.... which I still am mystified about.

I am assuming you have a wallet and know how to send to an address. Go to Account and you will see a BTC address, send the money to that one and it should show up in your account within a couple hours.
