Title: WOW Bitinstant is the best
Post by: beefy on April 17, 2012, 01:18 am
So i finally tried buying my first bitcoins today. made the bank deposit, yada yada yada. I came home 6hrs later and it still wasn't at the wallet that i thought it'd be. So i emailed them just now (bitinstant), and no lie, within 10 minutes it was all sorted out.  I'm so shocked at how professional and fast they replied to my problem.

This is a brief overview of my first transaction on Bitinstant: I transferred a large sum of money in multiple transactions from cash deposit into my e-mail (using Coinapult), and the transaction was finished before I could drive home, the coins were in my hands within 20 minutes. This is by far the best service I have ever used. Highly recommend, would use again AAA+++

Yeah, so i sent it from my other wallet to SR. Should take about 15 or 20mins i think. I don't know why i always hear of people using services that take like 5 days....strange.

Bitinstant is great. My first transaction I had my coins when I got home from the bank. The second time the bank actually screwed up and didn't put the deposit through, emailed support and they had the whole thing sorted out within a half hour.

How do you receive BTC to an email address, and how would you get them to another wallet?  I'm not comfortable with providing the information the other exchange systems (Mt. Gox, CryptoXChange) require.  I'm used to get-bitcoin.com to just sending the coins to any wallet address I want, but for some reason they are no longer accepting deposits via Chase bank.

Also, which banks can be used for BitInstant?  I can't seem to find that information on their site.  There are no branches of Bank of America within a reasonable distance from me, which is why I can no longer use get-bitcoin.

Bitinstant takes deposits from chase and BOA, same as get-bitcoin. I tell everyone to stay away from get-bitcoin, there are plenty of reports of people not receiving their coins from them and more reports of it simply taking way longer than their promised 24 hours. There shouldn't be much of a problem disclosing the information mt.gox asks for, just set up a yahoo mail account under a fake name.
