Personally I like the service and performance of Bitstamp better, but I agree that both Kraken and Coinbase are serious companies backed by real people.




Its not a new idea I am trying to promote. I am requesting help with finding solutions for existing friends and clients of mine. They ask me how they can buy bitcoin with credit card or paypal, I try to find a solution. Your comment: "You should not..." This thread is for those that are looking for an option that accepts credit cards and other solutions. What your personal opinion is regarding if credit card is the best option or not is welcome but irrelevant. By the way, it is not necessary to quote the whole first post.

Thank you for your observation regarding the long deposit time buying with credit card on Coinbase. For what I have learned the delay in crediting deposits was due to a massive a mount of new users registering this holiday season and as far as I have heard it is much faster now. But I agree that a week is not acceptable under any circumstances.
