Title: Bitinstant and trustcash
Post by: JJbit on December 11, 2012, 05:47:40 AM
Hi, I'm trying to buy bitcoins through a cash deposit at the bank using bitinstant. When I did it about 10 months ago, Bitinstant guided me to trustcash where I selected my bank and made the cash deposit the next day.

Now, however, they are directing me to zipzap and I can't select my bank, only moneygram locations which aren't in my town. Why can't I go through trustcash and make a cash bank deposit? please help, thanks.

TrustCash no longer is serving any Bitcoin merchants -- BitInstant, AurumXChange, etc.  They may have another solution at some point in the future, but for now there is no cash deposit method at a bank.

The cash deposits to banks have been suspended as we’ve had a number of problems with our partner. Until these problems are resolved, we won’t be accepting the cash deposits at banks.

If you have a Chase branch nearby you might be interested in BitMe, which accepts cash deposited at Chase:

You might also try a Local Bitcoin trade:

And if you weren't aware, there is now a BitInstant support thread that even those in Newbie jail can post on:

Hey,

See Stephen's post above ^ explains it all.

We will have our new locations launched before the next changing of the moon

Hello Sir,
Would Trustcash be used in the future or they are not going to be an option anymore?

Thank you
