Title: Bitinstant Down?
Post by: randianhero on December 23, 2012, 05:52 pm
Hi everyone,

Every time I try to order coins through Bitinstant I am returned to the Bitinstant homepage. At the bottom it says "Temporarily low reserves at BTC-e exchange. Orders to this exchange will be delayed until the reserves increase later today." Is this a common problem? Do I just keep checking to see when the message goes away and then try placing an order again?

Thanks.

I've been using bitinstant for maybe 6 months - never saw that message before.  No telling what's going on.  There were some big changes in the way BTC are mined in the past few weeks + bitinstant has been going through some growing pains, all kinds of issues.  You can buy BTC on SR if you don't already know that - good luck!

"We are sorry but we are unable to accept this transaction without your full name and date of birth. " says this every time after i enter my 4 digit code and press next...I obviously am putting a name and dob in, but bitinstant obviously is having some software problems. if i try to go to bitinstant.com the page doesn't load. only when i got to https://www.bitinstant.com does it load.  anyone else having this prob?
