What would be impressive is if you could do that without having to give away your identity.

  Funny! :) we call that a bitcoin faucet, they are notorious for being empty.

    Huh? BitFloor totally made this possible when it was around.

      How? You're saying they let you buy (say) your first bitcoin instantly, without giving up your identity? As far as I knew, Bitcoin was the fastest way to transact, and if you're competent you're waiting an hour to confirm a transaction. So, with Bitfloor you could just instantly hook up your account number without giving up your identity and drain your bank account into bitcoins? If I sound cynical, please know I'm genuinely curious how that could work without turning into a bitcoin faucet! I'm just ignorant, I was not a Bitfloor user and I don't know how it worked.

        They used LocalTill, you just went to a bank account and deposited cash (no identity revealed anywhere) and they credited it to your account, then you bought bitcoin with it.

          Oh! I guess that's about as instant as it gets for anonymous cash transaction. Don't know why I didn't think of that.
