Yes, I found that, but its link for "buy darkcoin" goes to the Moolah website, which doesn't have any obvious way to buy darkcoin with USD on it.

Just a note for anyone considering going via Moolah: at the request of a third party, I recently spent a few hours digging through Moolah.io's online presence, shell corporations, domain names, and server fingerprints; I was left with an extremely bad impression of them - if Moolah is not itself a scam, it could turn into one at any time, and is likely technically vulnerable to the first skilled hacker to come along. (So a bit like MtGox.) If you ever use Moolah, make sure to keep your exposure to it as minimal as possible.
