Update 2: So it's been over 2 hours and the funds are still not available. With it being Christmas and then the weekend, I've got a horrible feeling this won't be "official" for a long time. As a newbie, I cannot purchase $300 worth of BTC from anywhere - everyone has limits, which is worrying. What a horrible Catch-22: I can't buy Bitcoin, nor can I buy a miner because it's purchased with the Bitcoins that I cannot get, lol! You sure you won't just accept USD via paypal?
No sorry, paypal too open to fraud. Its cool man, theres no one else inline for these right now. I can't ship til Monday/Tuesday anyway. I'll hold them for you.
Yeah, I can understand. The situation that I'm in right now only helps to reinforce why we need Bitcoin. From what I've read, BTC is super easy to send and receive; however, buying the BTC is really the limitation of sending/receiving fiat money like the USD. As I'm typing this right now, I just got an email from Circle cancelling my transaction. I logged in to my bank and the USD was re-deposited. So weird. Ok... I've got to find a way to get BTC

you live in the US ? . if so i would get in touch with circle, i had my account cancelled once due to i didn't live in the US after i made a buy and it was cancelled, then two days later my account was. . till i proved different then they let me have it back , just a tip, now i can use my CC any time i want to and get instant BTC's, i also have a Gemini account, i haven't fully activated yet, and a coin base account, i use more .
PS : Circle only allows you have to one account per legal name they will shut down all your accounts, till pick one and let them know. it won't mater how Many btc you have in it they won't steal them you just don't have access, till you send them a ticket.
Yes, I'm in the U.S., but the frustrating part is that I can't obtain Bitcoin at this point. I've been looking on ebay and the prices for *any* miner is outrageous!
