I've been buying bitcoins through BitFloor. But now they have raised their rates from 1% to any from 1-4%. Makes a big difference. Can anyone shed some light on a better option for buying bitcoins. I am in the process of making an account through Mt.Gox. Of course its telling me I have to verify my account, but I figured if I just bounced the money around from wallet to wallet in random increments I should be good. Any Feedback? Is this a safe method?

There isn't really a big difference with Bitfloor. I recommend requesting deposit amounts and cancelling them until you get a better deal. Don't just accept the first amount they give you. It will always be different. You can save quite a bit of money that way. I haven't even noticed the rate increases to be honest.

Buy on forums, make sure they ship firt or use escrow or else you'll prob get burnt.

Funny you ask then 50 spam threads appear lol.

Bitinstant has worked well for me. Pretty simple to do a deposit and then coins are are ready within the hour.

A friend of mine recommended bitinstant as well. They look legit, I haven't used it yet. You can also buy bitcoins at CVS I heard too, haven't done that yet.

for a high fee, SugarMama is a safe bet, long history of being legit, my first order was through her and was spot on. If you don't want to wait the up to two days it can take, or you don't want to pay that high of a fee, bitinstant works good, though once in a while they have issues.

CVS is just one of the possible ways for using BitInstant. You do a moneygram order there. You're not actually buying BTC from CVS.

Has bitinstant been working as of recently? I had serious problems with them a few months ago. What a shitshow.

No kidding. Me too. I will never use them again except as an absolute last resort.

ok....thanks for all the advice on bitinstant, but I'm really more interested in using Mt.Gox. Is it safe? I mean for all anyone needs to know I'm just an investor right? Is there anyway to track where I'm moving the BTCs if I am bouncing them around randomly???

I just made a transfer today and the funds where in the account in about 45 minutes. But the site has been great every time I've used it, no complaints at all if you don't mind the fee.

Sugar mama is a sure thing but expensive and can take two to three days for coin. Ive got coin from X4U the last few times at no charge but 500 dollar minimum money pak to bitcoin and its in your account in less than 10 min.
