Title: Dwolla to Blockchain
Post by: snickered on June 19, 2013, 11:43:21 AM
Once upon a time I was able to use BitInstant to transfer my Dwolla funds over to my Blockchain wallet.  It doesn't appear BitInstant has the option of Dwolla as a fund source.

How can I get my Dwolla funds to my Blockchain wallet?

TIA!

Honestly, with the crack down going on lately (the transfer you were talking about was halted on the 10th and is no longer an option), your best bet would be to transfer money back to your bank, sign up for coinbase.com, once you get your account verified there, transfer funds from your bank to coinbase, buy your BTC on there, then you can send them to your blockchain wallet.

Thanks Zanatos666.  I've started the process.  It's no wonder why bitcoin isn't "catching on."  It's overly complex to buy bitcoin.

Can you link me to the "crack down" going on?  I'm curious what kind of trouble BitInstant/Dwolla are in.

Thanks again...

I think I read it on Reddit, dont have the exact link.  But if I remember correctly, Chase had closed their accounts which was making it harder for Bitinstant to fund the payment options they were listing.  Then you add in the Dwolla account seize of Mt Gox accounts, and it seems the Big Brother has taken a shine to digital currency and its cash providers.  Main issue seems to be that they are not listing themselves with the government as a business that provides cash monies to customers.
