Since we already have a list of tumbling services in the sidebar, why not add a list of (currently) trustworthy/reliable/cheap/fast channels through which one may buy and/or sell bitcoins.
It'd clear a lot of confusion up and reduce the number of obligatory "where do I go to get bitcoin" threads that pop up on the daily. I think it'd be a useful feature, at least. I don't know if anyone agrees.
Power through community, and so forth.
Edit: based on the number of mentions and net upvotes, the most popular options for procuring bitcoins at the current time would be:
1. Coinbase
2. LocalBitcoins
3. CoinRnr
4. Bitstamp
great idea. lets aggregate a list right here.
I use coinbase, LBC, btc-brokers, and local bitcoin vendors personally.
Please, chime in with services! :)
