Title: Bitinstant pay by cash system down atm - What to use?
Post by: shockys2 on May 07, 2013, 06:18 am
I primarily always used bitinstant as my funding source for BTC directly to my SR wallet address.
Does anybody know of something that has pay by cash (walmart/best western) to wallet addres?
Or any other easy ways of obtaining BTC now.

Thanks!

I'm having the same issue. Made a deposit yesterday and blockchain shows the deposit hit around 6pm, but I've yet to see it hit my SR account.

I'm having the same problem. I believe it is SR that is the problem and not bitinstant or zipzap because a lot of other people are having problems depositing into their accounts. Hopefully this gets squared away soon!

They normally get the BTC to address fixed fast.. iv went to do it before, and i would email rachel at thee time and ask her is there any issues she can se for me not to do it or wait, and she was always honest 1 time she said u may wanna wait til tomorrow, it looks good but i think it would be better for u tto wait cause there r a few things a little sketchy..

I also just made a bitinstant payment into my SR wallet. I'm new to all this, what does he mean by 6th confirmation?

If you follow your address in the Blockchain(.info) you will see confirmations. The general rule of thumb is that you will have access to and can spend your Bitcoins after the transactions has been confirmed 6 times, this is done to prevent double spending of coins and other issues, this is a real basic explanation of it. Oh and I'm not putting it in basic terms because of you, I'm doing because of me, lol.

Basically it usually takes on a normal no issues going on day around an hour for coins to become available after they have been sent, so basically 10 minutes a confirmation, but I have had it take as little as 25 minutes and as long as 5 hours, but around an hour seems to be the norm.

Well the bitinstant cash is working, I and a few others used it yesterday and all way good. Had my BTC in SR in under 2 hours.

If you want other ways you could try Blue Sky Trading, as he allows cash payment at Bank of America, depending on your location this may or may not be an option for you. The only thing is you will have to plan ahead with BST as they have a queue that can be a few days.

Whenever I am trying to use bitinstant cash feature I'm getting this message now.

"There was an identity error in generating your payment slip. Please contact support@zipzapinc.com to resolve.

Then it redirects me to: https://www.cashpayment.com/

And it says"Shop Online, Pay Cash Offline™"

I had this earlier today. I think they are now making sure that the email you use matches up with names from previous purchases. I just made a new email and I was able to make a transaction like usual.
