So far since they initiated Bit Instant Beta backed by investors whom were part of the original " FACEBOOK ",
ITS BEEN A PIECE OF SHIT!!!!!! " Time is money" is there slogan?
I had to resign up as It didn't even recognize me after 38(BC) conversions
Yesterday I made a deposit at one of the 700k locations as I have for the previous 38 (BC) I have had them convert.
Zip Zap INC sent me a successful payment but Bit Instant sent me a FAILURE NOTICE DUE TO COINAPULT ERROR?
What the FUCK IS THAT?
It hasn't yet appeared on the block chain even
IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING TROUBLE WITH BIT INSTANT BETA ,please sound off. >:(

Hey man,
I had the same stupid problem. Zip zap went fine but bitinstant transaction failed. If you contact customer support they will be helpful and should sort it out. But after working it out they sent my money to the wrong address. Stupid bitinstant. I have been loyal to them but this new site is fucking stupid.
I think I will do monekpak of SR for my bitcoins for now.
Its sort of a high fee but its ALOT more convenient for me and also completely anonymous and if you're using someone reputable probably more secure just because you dont have to go through government regulations (ID, tracking money, bitcoin addresses, zip zap and such)
A 20 or 15% fee really is not that bad for the privelege of ordering any cheap drug you want to your doorstep. Ive heard some complaining on bitcoin fees but for what you can do with them its well worth it I think. If you buy in bulk and play the market right you could end up saving money.
As for your problem, you should click the support page oon bitinstant and explain your problem, they are prompt and relatively helpful so theres a good chance you will still get your coins. I didnt get a refund which suck but I understand why they couldnt.
Anyway, good luck m,an

I think BitInstant is going to lose a lot of customers over this beta. Seems to be nothing but problems. Someone even said they deposited to some BC address different from what was ordered and they were just like 'well sorry nothing we can do'.
-
IF they fuck around I will go Ham on there shit as much as possible to harm them and cost them money as they are doing me presently.
-
15-20% fee, pfff, gtfo with that shit. $1,000 order is $150-$200 extra, it defeats the entire purpose of SR IMO when you're paying that much extra.
I've been using Bitinstant for awhile now and it does have its problems, but I ALWAYS get my coins, sometimes slower then I'd like, but it's still better than a 15-20% fee.
-
Took me 3 days to get my coins, not doing business with them again.
-
I think a 15% fee is a very fair trade for complete anonymity and convenience. And if you dont buy in bulk its really not that bad. Considering the glitches new bitinstant has and the whole ID thing, plus the inconvenience of the going to walmart and all the online shit(which is more of a personal thing) I can walk 5 mins to walgreens, buy a moneypak with cash, go home make a 1 step order and get my coins in a couple hours. Then I can sell a gram to a friend and that covers the fee.
Its all a matter of personal preference. If you do sell drugs big time you would probably have more resources than most people in terms of getting around regulations and shit if you know what I mean.
-
SAD TO HEAR ABOUT BITINSTANT...I WON'T BE USING IT AND WILL LOOK FOR OTHER OPTIONS AND LET YOU KNOW
-
Seconded: piece of shit so far.
-

I use coinbase at the moment. You do have to enter your bank information though. I would wire some BTC to a family member from either the UK, Germany or parts of SE Asia. They would then send it through a mixer service for me and send it back to my blockchain account. I'd then use blockchain's anonymizer to send it to my SR. And SR built in mixer would add another layer of security for me. Paranoid? Yup! Going to jail would be a total buzz kill.

Is there a similar site that I can just go drop off cash at a location close to me? MtGok seems like a pain and I haven't yet had issues with BI but you guys are scaring me
-
yeah that all sounds real crazy. BI is taking way longer nowadays than they used to. It took a whole day, but i still got my coins.

It depend where you are. Theres a bunch of different payment options on localbitcoins, some like deposit cash at a bank, or use moneygram like you do with bitinstant but it would go through a different process. Look around for sellers who would do an anonymous bank transfer type deal or if you live in a major city you could easily find someone to give cash too at a meetup at a library and they send you coins from there.

Blue Sky Traders worked good for me. They say you need at least a $400 trade the first time, but I tried with $!50 and had my bitcoins 6 hours later with a 2.9% fee. It's completely anonymous if you use a tormail email address.
-
Forgot to mention BST uses a cash deposit via Bank of America. No ID required. I had the same problem with Bit-instant not working.
-
I was just gonna ask that as you posted. I wouldve done it but I dont live near a BOA. Its good to know though if I ever am...

It sucks, I couldn't get it to work on my mobile. Had to go home and use a computer right next to a CVS.
