Title: Ok to not use Mr Gox?
Post by: orngecapsule on August 31, 2012, 05:33 am
Why is it necessary to set up the mt gox account to get some bit coins? Can't I just use bitinstant > bank branch > instawallet and move it directly to SR? What is the benefit of using mt gox if instawallet is available? Just curious

It's not.

Edit: just curious, what makes you think it is?

Not a thing, No benefit at all! In fact using Mt. Gox may be very detrimental to you keeping access to your btc if you use a tor and access their site.
