I'm a complete newb in the Bitcoin world and seem to be having a horrible time trying to acquire a few Bitcoins. I've been searching for hours for a simple way to receive them, but haven't had any success so far.
Being the gullible newb that I am, I ended up opening a Payza account and depositing funds so that I can exchange from Payza to Liberty Reserve and finally to MTGox for a couple of Bitcoins... Why is this so hard? After all of the transaction fees, all of my cash will be gobbled up.
Any-who, I think I've finally found a good place to get Bitcoins (Bitcoin-24.com) but still have money in the damned Payza account. So... on alertexchanger, it says:
From Alert Pay Account:
From Alert Pay Account Name:
To Liberty Reserve Account:
To Liberty Reserve Account Name:
I'll be damned if I could figure this out. Alert Pay (now Payza) only seems to use your email as the account name/ID er-whatever. And my Liberty Reserve information keeps coming back negative when I try to continue. Any help would be appreciated. I'm only after a few Bitcoins

Why is this so hard?
