Title: ATTN: Anyone who uses Bitinstant to Mtgox
Post by: HyphenatedAndSedated on April 18, 2013, 06:48 pm
Make sure to use the account number that is on the top of your page, not the one that MTgox gives you in funding options.  The one in funding options is only 6 numbers, while the one on top of the page contains 8 numbers and 2 letters, which is the format bitinstant requires now.  I made that mistake today...fingers crossed that their customer support on reddit will help me out.

I normally go through another means before transferring the bitcoins I got from bitinstant straight to mtgox, just out of paranoia but thats good to know

Well, when you use the option I described, they don't put bitcoin in your account, they credit mtgox with however much you paid - fees in USD, so you can buy BTC at your leisure.
