bit instant has been down all weekend and now today when they said they would be up and running again, they are still down.? is this a good thing or bad thing?
-
i said fuck it and bought some coins off collapses. he's legit and easy to use with western union. seems like bitinstant is goin down

I used Bitfloor. Super easy- had to go into BoA to make a cash deposit, similar to what I'd do with BitInstant but in a bank instead. Didn't ask for ID, didn't need an account there. Deposit had been made by the time I drove a few miles home, waiting for it to transfer to SR account.

i was gonna do that but no BoA here :c

Why doesn't somebody set up a similar service? All they did was set up an account with some bill transaction proccessing co and then made phony bills for someone to pay once they get your request. Doesn't seem to complex

What are some simple ways to obtain bitcoin without bitinstant?
-
idk it sucks

I'm at a loss here, too.
I finally located the products I wanted to get my grubby fingers on, pulled the funds, and went to make my deposit. BitInstant has been down for about 4 days now. I'm getting frustrated as I want to get this over with. I could have gotten my products in person by this point, though at a higher price (but time is money, thus I've technically paid for the extra in waiting time). =/
I've been trying to find alternatives, but I don't want to deal with a single person and trust them to get me my coins.
They promised they'd be back up today, but the moneygram services are now closed all over town for today's business day.

I'll recommend Bitcopia.com ... It looks like they (he) is having website issues right now, but I have bought several hundreds of dollars worth of btc at a time from him, always quick to communicate and very quick to deliver. He uses Wells Fargo.
