Title: New user question about using bitinstant
Post by: doublebass69 on July 29, 2012, 09:55 pm
Hello,
After failing to get bitcoins through moneypak and getting scammed  :'(
Ive decided to use bitinstant's: bitcoin to email method, hopefully tommorow.
My question is after i have transfered the money, where do i go from there?
Should i just send the coins right to my bitcoin silkroad address?
Or if someone could just give me a guide from transfering to the money to getting it
to the silkroad account that would be great.
Many Thanks,
DB

Best idea is to use Bitinstant MoneyGram or bank transfer.  Personally, I would always use MoneyGram, but that's just me.

Just use the Walmart or CVS option, then use a false name and address to wire the money.  The instructions for wiring the money are given when you choose that option, but it's pretty self-explanatory.  Make sure it's the same false name you signed up for Mtgox with though.  If they ask for ID, tell them you didn't bring any, but they almost never do for purchases under $900.

You link Bitinstant to your Mtgox.com account and then buy the BC on Mtgox.  Afterwards, transfer it wherever you want.
