What's the best way to buy bitcoins fast? The dwolla->mtgox method is taking a very long time.
Virwox used to take me like 2-5 minutes, but that went poof.
I use the Dwolla -> Mt Gox method, and yeah, it takes forever, usually 3-4 days. Make sure you have all your accounts verified before you try doing things too. Verification can take about 24 hours or so. You'll typically need a scan of your drivers license and a proof of an address (like an electric bill scan.)
Once you have your Bitcoins transactions take 5-30 minutes usually. Make sure if you're using a wallet all the block chains are downloaded too.
This is what I'm getting:
Your Position in the Verification Queue 12740
Your account verification request has been received, and will be reviewed within the next 10 business days. Please contact aml@mtgox.com if you have any questions or comments.
Yikes that sucks. We'll I've had an account with them for years, and I've spoken to MagicalTux various times over IRC, so it must be a lot different now.
That's why I hate Mt Gox's monopoly on the market.
I'm also pissed off with BTC-e. They have a monopoly on Litecoin trading, so they charge you a 0.5 LTC transaction fee just to take your Litecoins out of their exchange. This crap happens since of lack of competition.
Not ones which involve converting to or from USD. But after you buy bitcoins on an exchange, you can then use what's called a mixing service.
Basically, you put the bitcoins in a large common ewallet, then transfer them to another address you own. That one will be anonymous.
