Title: Bitinstant Help
Post by: Jazz323 on May 23, 2013, 12:46 am
Has this happened to anyone. Trying to buy bitcoins with them and I keep getting this message..

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

I emailed their support and they keep asking me for an account number. I dont have an account number, because bitinstant never printed or generated a slip for me. Been going back and forth with cusomer support, and they are absolutely no help..

Have you tried using a different name and email?

Which bitinstant service are you using?  -- BTC to email? BTC to BTC address? BTC to bitstamp?

Ive tried 2 ways.. bitcoin to email and bitcoin to bitcoin address

Let me try using different name, email.. That was going to be my next guess. Customer support at zipzapinc, isnt helpful at all.. Thanks!

To help out newbs, I wrote a bitcoin tutorial, which tells you in sordid detail how to ANONYMOUSLY buy bitcoins, and transfer bitcoins to the Road. Services involved are bitinstant and MtGox. The tutorial is current as of May 22nd, 2013.

The tutorial is designed for buyers, not vendors, and it ASSUMES NO PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE OR COMPUTER SKILL.

Order the free tutorial at:

Peace,

I'm guessing that is something the user will have to download correct?

Thanks for the tutorial, Ill take a look, but I honestly dont need it. Ive used bitinstant before, without any issues. I dont understand why its not working. I even tried from a different computer. I did get to the last page to generate my slip, but the page keeps refreshing now for some reason..This is just silly now, Im not an idiot when it comes to following directions.

Thanks for the replies..

At first it was a download. Now, I've got a new listing, giving away the info for free, no download.

To help out newbs, I wrote up a simple guide for ANONYMOUSLY buying bitcoins using cash, and transferring to the Road:
http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/item/2f9f85aa35

There is nothing to buy, and nothing to download. The guide is designed for buyers, not vendors, and it assumes no previous knowledge or computer skill.

View the information for free, and if moved, donate!

The bitcoin scene changes frequently. By putting this info in a listing, I can update it in one place rather than in many forum posts.

Simply buy your Bitcoins at www.Bitcoin-Brokers.org

Pay at MoneyGram with NO ID.

Bitcoins are sold for 2% BELOW MtGox...cheaper than Bitinstant.

Available in every country as compared to Bitinstant which is basically just for the USA.

Additionally you can sell your Bitcoins back to Bitcoin-Brokers for a cash pick up at MoneyGram without needing to show ID...totally anonymous.
