If you want to find out how to buy bitcoins (it's hard to mine them now), there are a set of online guides at:

http://howdoyoubuybitcoins.com/

tl;dr use coinbase (just like paypal / 1%) or bitme (chase deposits / 0.75%)




coinbase.com is actually a Ycombinator start-up!

So if you have problems with them, you know just were to bitch about it. I kid. I kid.

Joking aside, I've only had great experiences with the folks over at Coinbase.


The guide is good but doesn't include Bitcoinary https://www.bitcoinary.com/

With Bitcoinary you buy from bitcoin miners and traders directly. More currencies, more ways to trade and deal directly with real people.
