Can anyone tell me EXACTLY how to obtain Bitcoins? I've downloaded a BitWallet so I am able to generate addresses needed for receiving Bitcoins, however I have no clue how to go about buying them. I put up a post yesterday asking a similar question about what is most reliable to use when purchasing Bitcoins. Most people said Bitinstant. But I have no clue how to go about buying the Bitcoins, I couldn't figure anything out past downloading the wallet. Some reliable information would be awesome. And, it would be greatly appreciated if you could give me something extremely detailed and explanatory in EVERY tiny little aspect, because I am not very savvy with this!!! Thanks, hopefully someone can help me out

Bitcoin can seem overwhelming at first, but it's really simple once you spend a little time with it.
I highly recommend going to Bitcopia.com. The site is incredibly easy to use and they accept cash deposits. Just read the section Buying Bitcoins in the FAQ. I think it has instructions there, but it's so easy, you really probably don't even need to read it. Just fill out the forms and place your order. Then you make a cash deposit at Wells Fargo for the amount they quote you. Your bitcoins get sent to your wallet address. Voila!
They're only open during banking hours though, so you'll have to wait til tomorrow. Email the dude if you want. He's always on top of it.

You're new, so trusting anyone is obviously going to be an issue right now, but I recommend BTCPal. He's a very reputable SR Vendor, and I recently bought $3000 in coins off him, hassle free, doing a simple painless bank deposit. Had my coins within an hour of the deposit.
If he is out of coins, Bitcopia.com will allow you to deposit up to $999.99/day to a bank account.
And worst case scenario... www.coinapult.com + www.bitinstant.com and do it the CVS/Walmart away. ... just search the forums, you'll find all the info you need on how-to. :)
does it matter whether you visit those websites on Tor or through the clearweb?
and as far as Bitcopia, is that deposit made to your own personal bank account?

If you want to remain anonymous, it is advisable to visit those websites on TOR.
You go to bitcopia.com, fill out the order form, place your order and then deposit the cash quoted to you into the bank account that they give you. It's really simple.
