I have a CVS not far from me, less than 2 miles. I have an account with bitinstant, however I havent been able to log in my account for 3 days now. I contacted support about 2 hours ago and they reset my password yada yada yada. Still cant login. I think im about done with that route. Next thing up is coinbase. However I have to wait til tomorrow to deposit any money into the bank and then have to link bank with coinbase. And then its a 3 day wait period with that whole process to my knowledge. And then theres bitstamp thats connected to bitinstant, both cancelled out at that point. Last 4 options starting with No to Yes, Virwox, way to high in fees. MtGox, I dont like that identity verification shit, then camppx which I know nothing about and then localbitcoins. Localbitcoins seems interesting however I cant find anyone actually local around me that has anything. I only want to put in like 50 USD and I cant find any actual way to do this besides coinbase pretty much. I am not in any rush in any way or form to get high on anything. I might be a little stoned right now but technically I am medicated. I just would like to know of another quick simple easy route in order to be able to acquire BTC no matter how much I wish to buy.
Any help is greatly appreciated

You're not worried about linking your bank account with coinbase but you are afraid of identity verification on mtgox?

McGuire, thats a very good point. Very smart I havent dont anything yet right? What would you recommend then if you dont mind me asking? Also I tried using your PGP code to send you a PM but it came up with CRC error

just make a new bitinstant account with a friends name and info that doesnt order stuff off the road. i hear people saying they ask for id but no one i know was ever asked to see an id.

Thanks for the PGP public key note, I've fixed it. It had something to do with the carriage return/linefeed near the bottom.
What to use for BTC depends on what you're doing. For personal purchases where you're not buying like more than $4500 in BTC at a time I wouldn't sweat buying from somewhere requiring ID. I mean if you tumble the coins before going to SR it's going to be pretty hard to trace. Even if you don't no one really knows what BTC addresses are associated with SR, and SR has its own tumbler, and right now it's not illegal to buy BTC in the US (though buying large quantities might attract attention).
