Our site, http://Blocktrades.us is probably the simplest, most effective way to acquire a large BTS stake I think.

First I've heard of your site. I'll give it a try. Do you have an affiliate program?
We plan on setting up a program like that before too long. It will be tied in through our new "user account" support.

Why no BitShares login support for the user account?

metaexchange.info is also a way to go.

just compare the prices and choose the best price at the time you want to buy.

Thanks for the replies.  I didn't even think of blocktrades originally.

Does anyone have any comments on what exchange would be the least costly to aquire bitcoins via credit card for a US citizen?

Coinbase or Circle will be your best bet getting BTC through a credit card in the states. Circle is usually slightly cheaper by a thin margin.

That said, I would almost always advise against using a CC if you can use your bank account instead. Both Circle and Coinbase add about ~3% to the cost in CC processing fees, in addition to a flat fee from the card issuer ($10 per transaction on the card I use)

It seems really easy to get orders filled on exchanges right now.  There are big dumps multiple times a day.

Moonstone can definitely need that money .. though there definitely is the risk that it may take some time for them to buy the back ..

Would splitting 50/50 make sense for you too.

I put my last buy order as a standing order AT market price and its was filled in less than 24h

I would like to get some opinions on this.  Say I have $10k to invest.  I want to invest in bitshares, but the lack of liquidity on exchanges is going to make aquiring this much bts difficult.  What do you think would be the best option?

-buy bts through exchanges with a resting order and let it hopefully fill?
-buy 10k worth of moonfund and get the 15% bonus.  Is the 15% bonus and ability to aquire instantly worth the risk of not being paid back?
