Title: Funds won't clear until Monday, any way to get Bitcoins today?
Post by: Ganeen on February 04, 2012, 02:16 pm
I do the Dwolla>MtGox>Here Approach but funds won't clear until Monday, I wanted to take advantage of the sale and I was wondering if there was any relatively cheap way to buy some bitcoins today?

BitInstant.com lets you deposit $'s into a BTC exchange for 4.99% if <$110, and 4.49% if > $110. Either way, 10% sale - 5% fee = 5% sale :)

Also, since this is the second post I'm recommending BitInstant.com on, I should mention that I am NOT affiliated with them in any way.

I was looking at dwolla today and they have an instant fund release option.  You pay $3/month and they'll spot you the money while your monies on it's way over.

Except I have been waiting over a month and a half for them to activate my instant feature. They have had a lot of people use it when they first allowed it, so they had to restrict it and allow certain numbers of people at a time.

They currently are not letting new customers sign up for that at this time.
