Ok this is just annoying. coinbase keeps time out and giving errors before I even get an account set up. Not inspiring confidence. With Blockchain I was able to get a wallet started, but there is no apparent way to buy bitcoins from the site. I am stumped. I don't need bitcoin in my life, I'm gonna send a money order like the Atari generation techno-idiot that I am. We old folks are used to waiting for things to come in the mail anyway.
