Post by: antichrist on July 08, 2013, 07:42 am
Whats happening to bitinstant.com com there site has and still is down since I was on it this past friday... There website says this on the home screen
"We are conducting maintenance on our backend that will affect transactions for Mt Gox and bitcoin purchases temporarily"...

I emailed them and this is what they told me

"We’ve recently launched improved security measures related to our Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer processes. We have temporarily limited transactions in some locations, and we apologize for the inconvenience. Your home state is one of these locations.

Read more here: http://blog.bitinstant.com/blog/2013/6/30/website-update.html

We do not have an exact timeframe for reactivation of locations, but we will make an announcement via our website, blog, Facebook page and Twitter account as we enable new locations. We will also send you a notification email when we begin to process transactions for your state"...

There blog webpage is not working anymore... Does anyone know whats going on as I need to buy bitcoins so I can make a purchase on SR...

Thanks,
AC
