no you are not. i am in the same boat, but i can't quite figure out how to buy them yet Huh

Yeah getting your hands on coins is a pain. i managed to find someone in my city who sold me some
thats the easiest

Maybe the US is different; but in the UK...

Register at Intersango
Login to your online bank
Cut and paste account transfer information from intersango page to online bank page
Buy

Other than the manual copy and paste of an account number and reference, it's no harder than the supposed holy grail of paypal purchasing.

Once you've got bitcoins you can transfer them to any other exchange you like and trade in any currency you like. Or just keep them on your desktop computer.

Are things that different in the US that it's really a "pain in the ass" to buy coins?

very similar process on MTGox. Very easy.

And yeah, I'm a newbie who's just buying coins too. As a punt they're brilliant even at twice this price

How do Intersango remain top of the UK market, with such exorbitant fees, no fee schedule for volume traders and ridiculous interference in the market with their Market Maker discount!!
