Is there any other site besides moolah that allows buying DRK?
It says registrations are currently disabled.

Or should I buy one BTC (can I buy 0.5 BTC instead?) and then exchange it for DRK?

Disclaimer: noob located in Europe with 0 coins of any cryptocurrency.
(missed the BTC boat, kind of late for the DRK boat)

Unless I missed something exchange sites only allow exchanges between cryptocurrencies.
I registered at mintpal but don't see any way to add/use my credit card to buy coins.

Thanks

Important question: how did you hear about Darkcoin?
JL

I knew about BTC for a couple of years, but due to procrastination and life circumstances I never got into BTC.
When BTC got to $1000 USD news were out everywhere and it got my attention again.
Started checking the news, heard about ZeroCoin and I knew that the first true anonymous coin would have value. Like the first cryptocoin has.
It was either the wired article or with a zerocoin google search leading me here, that I discovered DRK.

But cryptocurrencies have a tremendous volatility. A single day can make a colossal difference.

Another question I have is:
if, or maybe when is more appropriate, BTC implements a mechanism for true anonymity (like Dark Wallet). What do you think it will happen to DRK?
Some may think this question is troll bait, but I think this is a reasonable question to ask.

For me BTC has value because it was the first, was able to capitalize on that and has several companies behind it.
LTC also has value. There are companies and funding behind it. Not to say it can't fail and die like 90% startups do, but we'll see.
DRK has value because like I said it's the first cryptocurrency that provides anonymity.
All the other currencies are vapor to me. Maybe there are some that have some unique features, but if they have they don't look to be relevant enough since "outsiders" don't know anything about them.

I think DRK will able to set its feet on solid land if it holds its advantage over BTC for some amount of time, let's several months.
But if BTC makes possible for true anonymity in the near future, what advantage will DRK have?

And regarding markets for buying BTC using fiat.
Which are the less bureaucratic, most reliable and fastest sites for doing that, for Europeans?
By fastest I mean I don't have to wait hours for the buy to happen nor for the transfer between wallets. And my email and CC are enough.

Is there any thread here or site that reviews/classifies trading sites? I don't want to trade with some other "mt. gox".

Thanks
