Title: convenient way to send money to BC address as bitinstant no longer offers... Post by: ekarleke on March 10, 2013, 01:21:26 AM I have aways sent cash via Western union/Zip Zap directly to a bitcoin address using bitinstant. It was the easiest method. The chain was basically... bitinstant/zip zap/bitcoin address. The transaction appeared on mtgox but I didnt have to deposit money in mtgox and make the transaction. Bitinstant made the currency exchange using a 3rd party and the bitcoins went directly to a bitcoin address.
As bitinstant no longer does these transactions does anyone know a easy way to send money directly to a bitcoin address? I do not want to use an exchange or a wallet as why should I do this transaction in 4 steps when one can do it in 2. Or at least I used to be able to do this!? Now I need to find a new way as bitinstant no longer sends directlly to a bitcoin address!? So, what is the easiest way to send money to a bitcoin address, making payment locally? :'( :) Title: Re: convenient way to send money to BC address as bitinstant no longer offers...

In the meantime however, the easiest thing to do is to make a cash deposit into your gox account and buy BTC at market rate there, if you have any issues doing this then get in touch and i'll help you out personally. |
