Title: Just read OKPAY will be severing ties to BTC exchanges. What do you guys use?
Post by: mxc0bbn on June 19, 2013, 05:01:31 AM
I've been using OKPAY to receive trading profits, but now that they are going to stop accepting funds from exchanges I need to find something else that doesn't rape me on transfer fees.  What do you guys use for amount of under $1000 per month?

Saw the okPay issue coming after the double spend on there system, so switch to https://dagensia.eu/. They had a name change after liberty reserve debacle took down there old domain, it all seems to be working again, no complaints on my end. (only tried eu card, I have no need for usd card so far)

I'm using OKPAY and will stay there as no problems until now. Even used XMLGold but prefer to exchange with PayPal, recently used RChange, http://rchange.net/?ref=356997

Any financial transactions involving exchangers and stock exchanges trading bitcoin are now prohibited.


I looked into "PerfectMoney" but they are shutting down accounts belonging to US Citizens in the next 2 weeks (As of July 1st).

Right now, it looks like BTC-e is still able to send to PayPal but with a 6% fee.  Given that if I send from Gox using their only method left (Bank Transfer) it will cost me $15 from my bank and Y2000 (~20) from their side I'm better off sending using Paypal unless my transfer is more than $700.00 (where the Paypal fees would be $45 vs. ~$42 using Bank Transfer)

What a crock!!

You could use bitinstant to convert mtgox to paypal. Hope they bring back mtgox...

Are MtGox -> OkPay transactions still working?

I still have the option in my MtGox account, but I'm not sure if I should use it :P

Thanks!
