What's your experience?

Has taken me ages. Depends on your geopgraphical location I think. Easiest in the US.
I recommend getting bitcoin sorted first and then doing other research (setting up PGP, checking on prices, checking feedback and forum reviews etc) after because I'm still waiting for most of my money to process through to BTC.

Opened Dwolla on Day 1. Placed an order on Day 5. Shorter than I thought.

The longest stage was dwolla for me but.....I messed up the routing # when inputting my info. LOL. What an idiot.
After that it came through pretty quick.
Next challenge was getting btc fro mt gox. Getting from dwolla into mt gox to owning btc was less thatn 30 min.
Now getting those into my was another story....see my post.
Now I have sent some to SR and currently have 3 (just checked bitcoin wallet...make that 4) confirmations. I don't know how many I need before the transaction completes but at least I saw some sign of activity within minutes.
If I had done dwolla on a day early in the workweek, hadn't blew the info process and somehow managed to not take all night to get my btc from mt gox into my own wallet I would say the whole thing goes pretty fast.
Be sure to back up dat files on wallet!
