I am a newbie. I am 50 and I was drug free for 23 years but have MS and am looking for some relief. I do not seem to be able to find a way to buy bitcoin. I have signed up at 3 different sites but discover they will only manage bitcoin and they do not actually sell it. Then I see vendors who will trade bitcoin for money-pak but when I put the link in that they have posted. it does not lead anywhere. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

if you just want to deposit cash for bitcoin, have a mtgox confirmed account and transfer using bitinstant.com
If you want to link a bank account, do dwolla.com, confirm it, and sent money straight to mtgox.
bitinstant takes minutes or hours to show up at mtgox.
dwolla takes about 3-5 business days but has much less fees.
Hope this helps.

Go on SR and look under the services section. You should find people willing to do the moneypak option. I have used coinXchange, so I know he is legit. He will do $200 minimum I believe and he has directions for what to do.

If you're in the UK you can use bitbargain.co.uk with Barclay's Pingit.

I am in the US and I am trying the Dwolla but will also have to set up the account to send it to.
