Title: Yo Bitinstant guy- what in the f is going on?
Post by: superdork on April 11, 2013, 04:29:56 PM
Yankee 5, right?

Why is bitinstant not working?

Why can one only send funds to Mtgox, which is shut down?

Why can't I send funds to my bitcoin wallet?

Why can't I send funds to a voucher (to use btw-e, etc)???

Now that you bring that up...that is an interesting point.

Basically, they have stopped all transfers. Since MTGox is "down"...they really have no service at the moment.

You can still load up your Mt Gox account with dollars in order to be able to trade them when they reopen.

If you are not feeling lucky, don't use Bitinstant. You should be glad that they disabled the payment method you were after, they save you a headache.

They have renabled alot of payment systems just today.
 
I am going to guess that their money has cleared and they have funds again.

They have a new order form for this kind of issue:

https://www.bitinstant.com/contact

Go fill it out and report how long it takes them to respond.
