Mtgox seem's like the easiest way to get bitcoins with usd, But it requires, Dwolla. and then 30days after first withdraw, and to get verified by submitting a copy of government issued photographic identification documentation and proof of residence.......
Can someone post maybe less hoop jumping alternatives, now I am starting to understand why lots of people don't use bitcoins :/
The factors that matter in order to give you the best answer include:
- Where are you located (country)?
- How much are you looking to buy?
- What payment methods do you have available?
- How soon do you need access to the proceeds?
- Is privacy important?
A fairly comprehensive list of options is compiled here:
