Where to buy BitCoins easily? CoinBase is useless since they've "exceeded their maximum daily limit", and Mt. Gox wants me to verify my home address, but I just moved and don't have any bills yet.
I've had good luck with Bitfloor. They let you do a cash deposit at Bank of America, and it goes instantly to your account. No ID or addresses or anything.
Yes, they've been hacked before and lost bitcoins. I figure 1. being hacked once probably makes them a lot more cautious now, and 2. what was stolen was bitcoins that were sitting in user accounts there. You're at very low risk if you don't leave bitcoins sitting in your account - transfer them to a private wallet or convert them to USD immediately.
localbitcoins.com will work in a lot of places. ziggap.com is another one similar to coinbase. ziggap uses western union/ money gram and so has higher fees, but less wait time. also have seen btc sold on ebay, but with a pretty big markup.
