looking for a simple bank deposit for bitcoins with a fast turn around and the least amount of fees. Any ideas? Thanks, Alpine

don't know about cheapest, but blizzcoin is definitely the fastest, although every so often it has to 'refill' but I get bitcoins in my account within ten minutes of the transaction.

Hi brotha.

The cheapest way i found, is AurumXChange

https://www.aurumxchange.com/

They have lower fee's than BitInstant, and the service is instant. Since they started doing cash deposits i have use them many times, And its been flawless every time.

My bank is only 15 minutes away, and my money has been waiting on MTGOX by the time i get home after the deposit. Print the receipt, Make the deposit, Call the 1-800 number and confirm the deposit. and BAM! , money is instant on mtgox(or w/e service)

Hope that helps,
Cheers

I second Aurum Exchange for cash deposit.  The fee is stupidly little, and it's extremely quick.

Thanks, AurumXChange looks great. so how does it work? i take it i would go to AurumXChange click exchange, enter pay from us deposit and send to mt gox. then i guess they would give me a bank to go to hand them cash and put some kind of account number in the comments on the deposit slip and they would send it to mt gox? thanks

I use get-bitcoin.com  great website.  the fee is only 5%  and they allow Bank of America/Chase account deposits.  The turn around is a few hours though..  I didn't see any bank deposit on AurumXchange.  I'd prefer to not deal with wire transfers.  I'd rather just give the money at the bank and leave.

Pretty much that!  You select Cash for from and Mt. Gox for to (you can get either a voucher or put it directly into your account - no value difference).  You fill out the details and select a local bank.  Then you select a way for them to send their bank account details, and that's pretty much it!  Just go to the bank with their account info, drop off the deposit, and walk away still anonymous!

Get-Bitcoins just has you give them an amount, you gotta factor in the 5% difference so you don't go WTF WHERES MUH BITCOINZ.  Then there's a drop down menu where you choose how you would like to pay them.  I usually goto a bank and just fill out a deposit slip.  They give you account number and account holder name and then you just hand off the money.  They make you take a picture of the receipt for the deposit you send it in and bam... should be good within like 3-5 hours.  It's not SUPER fast but it's not days either...

plus if you use something like instawallet it launders the coins for you and voila, anonymity!
