I'm a UK bitcoin user suffering from this aswell and have been looking for the simplest and cheapest solution.

https://blockchain.info/wallet/deposit-pingit seems to be pretty simple if you have a smartphone because you can basically just send money direct from your Barclays bank account.. only via a different method. It probably won't turn out to be the cheapest but unless anyone can show me a better easier solution I think i'll be trying this soon.

I hope when I get some money it works. I still have some money in limbo between Barclays and Mt.Gox, what is going to happen to that? Should I contact my bank or what?


"If you have registered for Barclays Pingit with a Barclays current account, we will link your account with your mobile so that you can make payments from your Barclays current account using your mobile"
It seems like you just link your barclays account and then use some phone app to send the money to blockchain, I don't see why that's any different than sending it straight from the barclays website? Will it work?
