I'm sorry. Can someone ELI5 how I buy into the DAO in the first place? I know if I can't figure out how to buy in I shouldn't own any, but humor me.

* buy bitcoin on coinbase with just a debit card and driver's license (<= $40/day).

* convert this to etherium downloading the etherium client and sending the bitcoin to an address given.

* go to the DAO site, where you are given a different hash to send the eth to to get a hash of DAO tokens.
