Hey so I finally got bitcoins or tried to...i went to bitinstant and did cash deposit moneygram to btc address, i put in my sr address but when i filled out the form it said that it was going to use coinapult even though i didn't select that. whatever, so i created a temp email and went to wally world. i did the zip zap payment, and have received confirmation in my new email acct, however i didn't receive anything from coinapult and i don't have the btc in my sr wallet. this just happened so i'm trying to be patient but am nervous i threw out my money...any similar experiences/advice?
-
If you deposited straight into your SR account then you won't instantly see any coins. For me, it takes around four hours from the time I transfer into my SR wallet to the time I actually can see/use them.

update: i made a dumb mistake and put a 5 instead of S in the btc address so they never got sent, bitinstant is fixing the problem for me but can they identify sr as the destination (ie are my funds safe to use)?
-
Bro Coinpault is just something used when sending it to your SR account... Thats the way i do it everytime. I highlight my SR account copy and then paste it into where it should go on bitinstant.. Then i go to somewhere with moneygram and i pay. Within a hour 2 at the most there on SR and ready to use.. Last week i added some and hour later i was putting in a order.. Coinpault is just apart of the process .. Now you have to send the coins from where ever u have them to SR account..

I would personally never trust most Wally World employees in my area further than I could throw them. I've never used those moneygram forms, but I expect they could somehow screw 'em up (lol...they would find a way).
-
yea but i'm worried that since i called bitinstant it will throw up red flags or am i going to be ok to use the funds when they transfer?
-
I use this every time.. it has worked flawlessly every time too.
Sometimes you get the bitchy old lady who asks what zip zap is, but i just say its to put money into an online account. Not lying 8)

I just had one of those WM em-ploy-ees that I couldnt have throw with a fork lift. Crabby too. I used a fake PO box, by the same phone number...so she asks if I was still at the other address. I said yes but I was using my PO box...she said they dont like that
so LIFE LESSON #1 from me...NEVER use PO boxes on the Money gram form at Walmart
and now she will remember me so I will have to go to the other WM or CVS for a while

yeah, the transaction woulda been fine but me messing up the btc address messed it up. i contacted bitinstant support with the right btc address (my sr wallet), will they flag this or should my coins be ok to spend?
-
you will be fine to spend your coins. once they hit your sr wallet, they are all tumbled together so you shouldnt have anything to worry about.
