Is this link for real?
https://www.bitinstant.com/
Does this mean bitinstant is again accepting those from US? Is this site for real,because it looks like you can still transfer to Mt Gox and pay through bitinstant.
Ugh. I am sooooo confused. And I have extremely limited funds and I need to order on Wed and receive by Friday or Sat or I am in huge trouble.
Can anyone explain what is going on and if the above link is valid/legit?
-
a) yes i used them today they are great
b) blue sky traders is also awesome
c) are you in the nyc are?

I am sooooo confused. I don't see an option to go get them at CVS or Walmart so now how do I purchase where it will be INSTANT? I am in the Midwest.
Can I do debit or credit card or paypal, and if so, will it still be INSTANT (and I mean within a few hours like the CVS deal was?)
Please help, because I HAVE to order on Wednesday at the latest!

What about vendors on Silk Road? I am afraid to use them, even with good feedback, because I have limited funds and cannot afford to get ripped off. :(

I used them again today, and had my coins in just about an hour. I went to Walmart, but there are quite a few locations listed for cash deposits. If you click on "Fees & Locations" at the top and scroll down a little bit, there is a section that says "Cash Deposit Locations" and allows you to input an address or zipcode to find locations nearest to you. Good luck!

Thank you PrettyinGreen. I did find it the correct place with the drop down for CVS.
So what is all the fuss? Did they suddenly change it back to U.S. again? That is why I was worried about possible fake sites, etc.
Does anyone know what changed? I am glad they again accept U.S. but why say they did not when they do or was it just for a short time or what? So confusing for someone so easily confused, lol

There was an entire site re-design. They require you to register an account and give your personal information to verify your identity. It's a little more intrusive, but having bitcoin purchases attached to personal identity is not really a big deal. Besides the new design of the site, everything appears to be the same.

Aw. I was in a real panic for nothing then. lol I am all set for my trip to CVS on Wednesday. Yikes, did that scare me. haha! ;)
-
So CVS is the best place to go? I've found other places that seem to know what they're doing better.
-
I guess Walmart would work the same, but who would rather go there?

a) yes i used them today they are great

I haven't been able to use bitinstant in about 10 days. When I reach page 2 of the wizard I get a modal dialog which says:
"We are experiencing problems with one of our partners, please try again later."
You say you used bitinstant today, and paid in cash at a Walmart, etc??
