I live in a rural area, and do not have any access to any chain banks like Bank of America, Chase, etc. The closest one is 1.5 hours drive. Whereas there is a store that sells moneypak right down the street from me. And I like the safety and anonymity. Those are the only real reasons. 
Hi Tangible, is there an estimated time of when you will start accepting moneypaks again? I like to buy my coins with MoneyPaks and would love to use your service!
We will not be accepting MoneyPaks in the future. The only exception would be the very very unlikely event GreenDot reconsiders and allows us to become an official MoneyPak merchant.
From our surplus coins thread:
Roughly a month ago we stopped accepting GreenDot MoneyPaks as a funding option pending an internal review. After some deliberation we have decided to no longer accept GreenDot MoneyPaks going forward. We were never defrauded the issue is simply scale. MP to PayPal is useful but that is limited to only $4K per month. MP to credit cards has limited value for us and if we attempt to get cash that incurrs a high cost. We now have over $100,000 worth of Bitcoins to sell each month. MoneyPak simply doesn't scale. If GreenDot allowed us to become a MP merchant we could accept MP and get daily ACH deposits however that is unlikely to happen given GreenDot hostility towards Bitcoin.
There is more discussion in that thread about our failed attempt to get a GreenDot merchant account.
Hi Tangible,
I'm very sad to hear that!
MoneyPak is my preferred way of purchasing coins. Seems like everyone is starting to no longer accept MoneyPak's which sucks for me. Hi!
I am new here, but have done one transaction with member TizzyTazzy, as well as several purchases off of spendbitcoins.com.
I would like to trade my MoneyPak (have not purchased it yet but will be between $100-$150 USD), for your bitcoins at current market value of $8.23 / BTC.
If you're interested please PM me and we can work out details (and I will tell you how much specifically I'd like to purchase, haven't fully decided yet)
Thank you very much!

hi, is spendbitcoins.com trusted/legit? I really would like a place where I can pay with MoneyPaks (I am unable to use any other form of payment ), and a service like this is PERFECT for me, however I have never heard of spendbitcoins.com. Has anyone here had a successful transaction with them?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Re: ***WARNING TO PEOPLE WHO USE MONEYPAK/WALMART MONEY CARD***
Hi Tizzy, I'm sorry to hear some jerk is putting you through so much trouble! Just for the record, I traded my MoneyPak with Tizzy a few weeks ago and it was smooth as butter. He is a great guy and it's a real shame to see someone try to play him like this.
I'm not sure if I still have my MoneyPak receipt, but I will try and dig it up for you! Best of luck friend and I hope you get this all squared away soon (and aren't scared away from future MoneyPak transactions )

You don't need to wait to use your Bitcoin addresses. It's only that before the synching ends, or until it reaches the blocks where the transactions were confirmed you won't see them in your wallet and be able to spend them. But you can se them in a block explorer site.
For instance, the address where the kind people here sent you those little bitcoin gifts, you can see it here: http://blockchain.info/address/1CeoBMn9Qn7wygecmBybQ5WCRLDxrcoQnq
See the money already there?

Thank you!
I just wanted to take a minute and say I really appreciate how helpful, friendly and outright generous this community is! Not only did you all help out so much with my nooby questions, but 3 of you were awesome enough to even give me a bit of coins to start. You guys ROCK!
I have just finished my first real trade transaction and should hopefully have some full coins in my wallet soon. I'm excited to explore the world of bitcoins!
Best regards and I'll be sure to tell my friends to come here if the are ever curious.
When it finishes synchronizing you'll see the coins, don't worry.
Yes, generate a new address for every received transaction, that way it will be easier for you to keep track of who paid you what.
Only deal with trusted sellers, the ones with good reputation, remember.

Thank you for all your help Psy
I appreciate it.So it is is safe for me to do business while my wallet is still syncing? Or is it best to wait until it is finished? I assume it doesn't really matter (since it seems like the transaction would just be tagged on the end of the update regardless) but maybe for peace of minds sake..
Drudgeboat,
If you have downloaded the Bitcoin client, I will send you .01 BTC to get you started. It's not much, but it's something
Just post your Bitcoin address and it will be on its way.

my address is 1CeoBMn9Qn7wygecmBybQ5WCRLDxrcoQnq.01 BTC sent
Mail me $11, I'll send you 2 BTC.
You don't need to go through exchanges and such, like other currencies, you can sell stuff to obtain Bitcoins or trade with individuals.
The typical route though is to transfer USD currency into a currency exchange, complete a trade, and withdraw Bitcoins to your wallet address.
Sent you some loose change.

WOW such a generous Community! Thank you both!
OK, so I have the Bitcoin Client Wallet from here - http://bitcoin.org/ . The address I gave you fine folks was the address it listed for me under "receive coins" tab. The coins you guys sent me have not appeared however. Does this just take some time to propagate, or did I mess up somewhere? Also my wallet is still synchronizing with network (although it's about 98% done).
I decided to buy a MoneyPak card to trade for coins with someone on here. What should I do to ensure the trade goes smoothly? Do I just give him a newly generated address and he deposits it right in my wallet?
Thanks!!!
There are several sites where you can get a small amount of bitcoins (more like fractions of bitcoins, really) for entering a captcha or clicking an ad. Find out more in this topic.
It's by no means 'worth the pay' (i.e. it's quite not enough to make a living with it) but just consider it a test to get yourself started with some bitcoin pennies. Some are stupid and require you to waste lots of time, some are plain and simple, just enter a captcha or click an ad or something, and you'll receive coins within a few hours.

I keep hearing about being able to use "MoneyPak" refillable debit cards (liike the kind you can buy from a convenience store), and these can bve used to buy BTC. Is this true? How could I go about doing that? There is a store right near me which sells these GreenDot MoneyPak cards, I just need to know how to turn that into BTC.
If you can do a bank transfer from the internet, any exchange that people told you about will do. Ofcourse it will take some days and probably be more expensive.
The only one I have experience with is https://bitstamp.net but it's an European exchange
Being in the US, don't know which one would be best for you.

Hmm, I thought my bank allowed transfers from the internet, however when I log in to their portal and select Express Transfers, I am only able to transfer money between my accounts. Not sure how to set up online wiring (or if my bank can even do that. I think that's more common over with you guys than it is here)

my address is 1CeoBMn9Qn7wygecmBybQ5WCRLDxrcoQnqI'm sad to report that the nearest deposit location to me is over 45 minutes away Not having a car of my own that makes this very difficult.
Are there any completely-online methods to get bitcoins? Without having to go to banks/stores for in-person deposists? Please share with me, I am but a lowly noob
