Amen @solisrex. I too think www.dashous.com to be the best option. But in my country 99% people doesn't even know what Bitcoin is. So CEX.io is the only solid option for me.
I didn't know Joël goes by thedesertlynx. I love his philosophy and commitment to simplicity. Plus I love his writing, especially the sense of humor.
My happiest days were on Otres Beach, before the military bulldozed, and committed that crime against nature. Please contact Joel to organize "my first dash wallet" give away.
