My orders were twice rejected by coinbase as high risk. I ordered a new visa credit card to try and authenticate myself for them (they don't accept anything other than visa - no discover no amex no debit visa cards).
My MtGox authentication is "20 business days" pending, up from the original 10 days.
Most promising Localbitcons ads use OKPAY which does not work for US (I'm not even an American, I just live here, so I don't have utility bills from other countries...).
Where the hell can I get bitcoins from , securely and relatively fast?
I use BTC-e. International money transfer from US bank account to BTC-e account will take upto 10 days, but works fine.
