I always used bitinstant because I could do a moneygram deposit instantly and get bitcoins in minutes. Is there any service out there that is this fast? I would prefer not to go to a bank, but don't really matter to me.
Coinbase.com is instant as long as you are verified which is very easy..Also there is btcquick.com which is also easy as pie.
No mater how hard I try I can'not get my ID verified on Coinbase. I give them all the personal info they ask for.
