Title: BitInstant/Zip Zap problems Post by: FranklinPayne on May 02, 2013, 10:34:11 PM Hello all! I'm new to bitcoin usage (though I have been familiar with it since 2011, and kicking myself for not buying into it back then), and I am having some trouble with BitInstant and Zip Zap. Specifically:
When I get to the Zip Zap portion of my BitInstant transaction the website can never find a local payment center. However, I live in a major metropolitan area in the US and that surprised me. I tried several other zip codes, cities, and even entire states. Zip Zap still couldn't find any local payment centers. So I went to cashpayment.com and typed in my zip code, and there were no less than 15 establishments within 3 miles (including one only a block away). This only happens when I am redirected from BitInstant. Any advice or tech support on this would be very appreciated. Thanks for reading, -Frank Title: Re: BitInstant/Zip Zap problems Post by: Jaxkr on May 02, 2013, 11:16:17 PM Not all payment centers support ZipZap?

That's what I thought too initially. If you type in a zip code on cashpayment.com (which *is* ZipZap) you can find plenty of payment centers. Further more, if I go to ZipZap from BitInstant the website shows that there are NO payment centers in the Entire US, which I know is wrong. There is something like 700,000 different places in the US to use ZipZap. Hell, I've even heard about on NPR one afternoon. -Frank Title: Re: BitInstant/Zip Zap problems Post by: Jaxkr on May 03, 2013, 01:21:36 AM Personally, I'd recommend contacting both BitInstant and ZipZap about this issue. It could be a temporary problem, or it could be a severe bug.

Keep it up BitInstant. Fixed a lot of the issues causing the recent delays so I now have the time to do this :) |
