Pretty much any exchange... I use Dwolla to MtGox. Not ideal, but beats the hell out of Coinbase.

  Getting approved on MtGox is a major source of friction.

    You only need to get approved if you're going over $10,000 USD monthly. If you were doing that much in BTC trading each month, I doubt you'd use an unreliable platform like Coinbase to start with.

      Is that so? I signed up for an account a few months ago, and from what I could tell I was unable to do anything other than link my Dwolla account and read the instructions on how to submit photo ID to get approved. edit: I just checked. It's still the case. I cannot transfer money (USD) from Dwolla to MtGox without sending MtGox my photo id.

If you just want bitcoins: Dwolla to CampBX. If you want altcoins: Dwolla to CampBX to BTC-E

  I read you have to have your Dwolla linked to your bank account for over a month to use CampBX. I just set up my Dwolla to bank over the weekend and verified. I want to buy a bitcoin or two for fun. Any ideas?
  - changdizzle 13y ago
    Not true - I had my Dwolla account for less than that before I transferred a bunch of money to CampBX - note that unverified accounts on CBX have a maximum daily transfer limit of $1k Also, if you're interested in grabbing a bitcoin or two, I'll do it for a fellow HN'er for no markup. E-mail me at hi.im.edward [at] gmail for more info. Edit: Just realized there's no PM feature on the site - email me :)

    I found bitinstant worked well for funding my mtgox account.
  - unix-dude 13y ago
    I've only ever used BitInstant, granted, it was back a few months ago when you could buy several for under $100, but the convenience of paying in cash at WalMart was pretty cool. My MTGox account ended up being funded quickly as well. I'd definitely recommend them.

    >I read you have to have your Dwolla linked to your bank account for over a month to use CampBX. That's a recent development, though not one that's going to go away I'm afraid. >I want to buy a bitcoin or two for fun. Any ideas? # Person to person exchange? Or # MoneyGram -> Bitinstant (fees! ~6% plus a trip to a store). # CampBX will take a personal check!
