How to buy IOTA (MIOTA) in the United States

Trying to buy IOTA but Binance is down, and Bitfinex ceased operations in the United States?

One easy way to buy MIOTA (IOTA) in the US right now is to use, Coinspot. Its an Australian exchange that asks for verification only if you use Australian Dollars. 

To bypass verification requirement:
Transfer to coinspot BITCOIN or ETHEREUM wallet first and then SELL Bitcoin or Ether through coinspot in exchange for IOTA.

Then download the official IOTA wallet and transfer*** your coins to it. 

EDIT: Alternatively, you can use BINANCE Exchange. 

IOTA will be available in BITTREX Exchange in 2 weeks. (rumor)

***Use a new receive address for each new transaction you receive (Details in: What are Winternitz One Time Signatures?)***

In IOTA, the security of a transaction decreases when you send tokens more than once from the same address. To ensure that you are safe, you should always generate a new receive address.

In the GUI light wallet:

1. Click "Receive"
2. Click "Attach address to Tangle"
   1. Attaching to the Tangle should take between 10 seconds & a few minutes. (For simplicity: generate and use a new receive address for each new transaction you receive. Click here to find out why.]

NOTE: Your attached address will show up as “Pending” in History. This is okay, as attached addresses don’t need to be confirmed.

Why am I attaching an address to the Tangle in the first place? Answer: It’s a neat little trick that allows the wallet to know what addresses have been used. It also helps to make the network a bit more active by adding one transaction. - IOTA GUIDE
