Yes it's not too bad.
The best part is I can buy right from my card instead of all the wire transfers and trying to find a bank up here in the boonies for deposits and such.


$808.19 right now.
Yesterday it was $788 something. 

Very true.
Coinbase finally got set ok so monday I can do instant buys.  Very frustrating to have to wait so long.
Still it could be worse I suppose.
I am definitely going to get setup with some other exchanges so I don't have to be stuck anymore.

We don't have any of their big banks up here.  Closest too far away.


cashintocoins.com is easy to work with. deposit cash into big-name bank. get coins in est. 24 hours.



You could be verified, deposited money, and obtained bitcoins at bitstamp in a week.

What does a coin cost at coinbase?

OK, so going on bitstamp prices. That is ok then.

There have been several threads about this in the past, but Coinbase uses Bitstamp as their exchange since they don't own one.  So you'll see their buy/sell prices track those at Bitstamp.  Generally off a few dollars though because Coinbase takes a bid off the spread in their words "to reduce risk".  Ie, they want more fees. Wink

Apologies, but since I'm not in the US and can't access Coinbase, just trying to get more info.
