Hi I just tried for an hour to figure out Bit instant after they have completely changed it around it sucks now I mean its terrible I don't know if I can ever figure out how to fund my account with the new Bitinstant layout. I need an alternative one that will turn cash into bitcoin for my Mtgox account please give me suggestions.
-
to use bitinstant, you have to make an account with real info now.
-
Find a vendor that takes gdmp or reloadit cards! I'd recommend the user 4 heroin, he always came through crazy fast for me.
-
Give coinbase a try. Its simple to work and has been consistant. I've made 4 1.5btc transactions and have another pending now
-
errrr. I don't have a bank account or a cell phone
-
I hate to say it but if those are my options I'm gonna have to say good bye to SR shit an't worth messing with Bitinstant is a nightmare now.
-
I wouldn't give it up. There are other ways like my friend does it in 4 hours with some online moneygram I'm not shure how.
-
I'm just really frusterated Mtgox has been less than helpful when I emailed them for assistance. The verification email never hits my mailbox and yes I looked in spam. Currently there is no way to change your email address for your account not even customer service will do it for you. So I don't know how to fix this its a mess. That really pissed me off! Does anyone have any other suggestions getting desperate.
-
Reloedit cards seems like a good alternative however I didn't want to sped 100 dollars and that is the min for it.

Ok man I was pissed a couple weeks ago just like you. I had no smoke and phone was going crazy. It sucked. But I refused to use real info and get validated or wtf ever they want you to. So listen closely. Go ahead and log in with your normal account you have always used.
All you have to do is go to add funds. Then click the option cash deposit and then click the option MTgox as your funding source. Then the amount. Next you will be taken to the next screen where they want your real info or it will not go through at all right? Well use real info just not your info. What I did was found someone on facebook that has there date of birth posted. Then used their name and date of birth. Then click sign in as guest and it should work. You still can use a fake address and phone number but make sure you give the clerk the same address and phone number! Then go to Walmart because they don't ID you. If they ask for ID just say sorry I don't have one. Hope I helped ya. I know the feeling man so I felt I needed to pass this on. Stay safe.

Btc are not illegal. I don't know what yall are talking about by using fake info. They can't track btc on a transfer. I use nothing but my own information. The security of the system is there for a reason.

If the OP wanted to use real info then he wouldn't be having a problem right now.... It really depends on what you do with your bc. If you are just ordering personal then ya by all means use your real info if you feel ok about it.

Were getting off topic here yes I used my real info here's the prob. The verification email never made it to my inbox and yes i checked the spam. I can't verify my email no matter what I try and stupid Bitinstant doesn't have a way to change your email address not even through support. Can't get another account since my info is in the old one. I just want a way to trasfer cash into a bitcoin wallet and mtgox is pissing me off.
-
htown tried your method something is not right cause it doesn't seem to be working either.
-
geting bitcoins is like one of the hardest parts... i wish there was another way but i already got burned once... sending money packs to vendors didnt work out so well for me... but maybe you will have better luck
-
They should really do something about that their needs to be more coins or something. To be honest I'm surprised something hasn't been done.
-
+1 for Checking out localbitcoins.com there are loads of funding options and people selling coins there. They have an escrow system too. Very nice.. from credit cards to cash and everything in between
-
an alternative (pricy but works) is Virwox.com, just make sure it's VIRWOX, the other, virwax or something, is a scam site
-
thanks for you input

I was skeptical at first, but they used to vend coins on the Road. Brilliant, anonymous, and takes >24hrs most days.
They got my coin in about an hour or two last I used them.

Now, disclaimer as I'm not 100% sure this is completely anonymous - but here is how I've gotten my BTC to the road for well over a year.
https://www.virwox.com/[1] - It is a Second Life (the game) currency exchange. They offer MANY (paypal, wire transfer, etc...) ways to deposit cash into what are called Linden Dollars. This is the currency used in second life. After converting to Linden Dollars you can INSTANTLY transfer to BTC. After that all it takes is withdrawing BTC to your Silk Road Wallet. Entire process takes about an hour - and then your coins are in your wallet.
Let me know if it isn't the most secure form of making BTC deposits... but it has worked excellently for me for well over a year.

Man getting harder and harder to get bit coins in Canada with cash.

That's what I've done, however it seems more expensive than other methods.
