Title: Faster BTC exchange services??
Post by: the renegade on May 24, 2012, 12:15 am
Obviously the dilemma for many people new to the Road or even veterans is quick acquisition of BTC.  Some don't want to use Mt. Gox or Dwolla or Bitinstant or any of the other services.

I haven't found one Cash bank deposit for BTC service yet b/c all of them use banks that are over an hour drive for me.  So MP is the best option for me.  However, the length of time it takes some exchangers to deposit your coin is mad!  It's almost as if they don't have enough coin to handle the orders they get, then the people waiting for their coin get stuck waiting, 36, sometimes 72 hours!!!

I'm not expected instant, 30 minute service, but 3-6 hours is reasonable, especially if it's during business hours in the region you're in.  Because of a 40 hour wait on one transaction I did not too long ago (will not name exchanger)  I missed out on a listing I could have had, even if the transaction would have taken 24 hours!

I did one the other day with ita, and he took 3 hours, which I feel is perfect! 

It would be nice to have some exchangers that offered less than 24 hour service, preferable less than 12, and didn't charge an exorbitant commission. 

I mean, if you can't fulfill the order, why list?  Making people wait 2-3 days or more is not right, especially when there may be a time sensitive listing they're after.

Just a thought and a hint, hint.

No disrespect to any of the established exchangers.  I know you guys can probably get swamped.  But I have had multiple Green Dot cards for years and know the simplicity of adding MPs.  Yes, there is a $1000 limit per day I believe on funds added, but that would be the point in having multiple cards, or even others, such as FoxyMeow with her Netspend cards.

Still no dice... All the other exchange services both on the Road and online don't offer bank transfers at any bank in my vicinity... A couple new vendors have popped up with "quick" service, but don't respond and flake out when messaged.

Frustrating.. I figured this would be a heavily saturated market, but no...
