Title: bitcoins
Post by: Frenchy1488 on February 25, 2013, 04:00 pm
Hey, I was using Bit Instant and now they are having problems. Does anyone know a secure safe place to buy coins and have them put in my wallet?
Thanks

Well last night they were stating that they were doing some"upgrade or maintenance" and would be able to transfer coin directly by today..? I haven't been back to check. Last night just went the norm for me which is from MG-ZZ-BI-MG-SR all in less than 1 hour..

Hopefully bitinstant isn't dead. I would bet it's fine.

But hate to steal your thread, but does anybody know an easier way when trying to buy more bitcoins? Those $500 limits suck and I'm starting to get bad vibes walking into walmart with 1k in money transfers a couple times a week..

Their site says they <i>should</i> be back to normal today. I'm banking on that myself, cause Walmart is a really convenient place to send money for me.

is bitinstant an option for European bitcoin buyers? Could only find U.S.

I think the cash deposit is only available in the US, but if you can make an account with any of the online options, you should be able to use it anywhere. Don't quote me on that though.
