I don't want to mess this up.
From what I understand... using BitInstant > cash deposit to BTC account. (Eg: Taking cash to walmart)
Can this account be my SR address? Or do I HAVE to use Mt.Gox or similar?
Also, from what I understand once I go through the process on BitInstant I'll get to a deposit slip I need to print out. i can't print this, I don't have a printer. Any way I can write down all the information and take it to Walmart with me?
What info am i missing?
Sorry for the ignorance,and thanks for any help. In the meantime, i'm studying the forums

Hey it's cool man. When I first started the process seemed so confusing. It is actually pretty simple. After you first transaction, all other will feel like a run to the bank. Is bitinstant back up, because I know a few days ago it was down. What I do is open up a wallet from blockchain.info, just so that my coins can be tumbled a few times before reaching my SR wallet. Not all people do this though, I just do it for added security. In no way do you have to print out the slip. The most important information you need is the address or company you're depositing to, the account number, and reference number, if I remember correctly. What I do is take a picture of the whole screen with my phone. Therefore I have all the potential information I need. You can give a fake name, address etc. There's no need to show ID. Just remember your fake name, and how to spell it. As it needs to match up with their system once they key everything in. (CVS, Walmart, etc)
