I used to use BitInstant all the time (bank deposit), but at some point they dropped all that and only take coupons now, which are totally worthless to me. Then I used the Virwox method when I was lazy and just wanted to use my card, but they're having problems now as well.
What are you guys using to get BTC quickly and without risk? (e.g., I'd rather not buy from a single user on SR, etc, as I have heard so many terrible horror stories about getting ripped off by even the most honest-seeming vendors).

i still use bit instant, i just use their cash deposit option, through moneygram, use all fake info on the form, then make sure i wash my coins thouroughly through 4 seperate wash accounts before depositing them to SR. seems safe to me, i also run proxy servers to make sure even the IP isn't traceable. even though bitinstant is working with the feds or whatever if you use fake info and fake IP address they cant do shit anyway. if this is unsafe i guess i suck lol.

Well that's what I basically used to do, too, which is a good way to do it! I was always satisfied, as they got it into BTC quickly.
But am I losing my mind or... is MoneyGram/Bank Cash Deposit no longer an option in the dropdown box? When I go to the site now I only see four options (bitstamp, dwolla, etc), none of which are cash. Perhaps this is only in the US that they stopped taking cash services?

Ha, looks like it's a temporary issue. They turned off cash deposits until Dec 7th. Nevermind.

If there is a branch of Bank of America convenient to you, I highly recommend Blue Sky Traders. Very nice and professional people. And no risk whatsoever to you. Their website:
