Title: I'm very happy with http://www.canadianbitcoins.com
Post by: cdnbcguy on August 14, 2011, 05:06:22 PM
This morning at 6:30 am or so I went on http://www.canadianbitcoins.com and sold them 15 btc.

I got an immediate email letter after they got their 3 confirmations with the security question answer for the transfer.  I got $9.40 each for them less $3 for Interac for a payout of $138.00

Another letter at 7:30 saying it'd be done (email interac) within an hour of 9 am

At 9:15 I got another letter saying I should get a interac letter in 30 minutes or so.

At exactly 30 minutes later I got another saying done, here's the link, use the security code from the first letter.

I did.

I then went to the bank and got the $ at about 10 am

THAT'S THE WAY TO DO IT!

Edit fixed typo.

I'm sorry but.. is there any reason your name is so similar to the website your randomly promoting?

Ah - an astute question.

No.

I am just a happy customer. They are in Ottawa and I am in Toronto.

No idea. Perhaps they wanted to go for the world wide thing.

That is really fast.  Their rates aren't too bad small transactions.
If I were to do anything over $200 I'd use cavirtex for a better exchange rate.

That's pretty cool that banks operate/are open on Sunday in Canada. I was not aware of that.

You can do transfers between the big banks using email in Canada. No need to visit the branch. I would assume his withdrawal was from an ATM, so no need for the banks to be open on Sunday.

www.canadianbitcoins.ca (http://www.canadianbitcoins.ca) works too :)  we have both, we just use the .com as the 'main' address.

I read this for the first time this morning, and decided to chance 10 coins. First email recieved was at about 11:50, last one at 12:30. Everything went as planned.

First transaction was perfect. With a service like this, any canadian should never have to use paypal when selling bitcoins.

Just used these guys last night, I certainly like it.

The emails they send are helpfull, and got my email money transfer in under 14 hours on a weekend..

They say its an hour turnaround on regular mon-fri 9-5pm biz days..

I had a $20 Canadian bill leftover from a bachelor party in Montreal several years ago.  Living in the US - I really had no use for it, but figured maybe I'd get back to Canada someday.  But instead I sent it to Canadianbitcoins.com and they sent me btc.  I just wanted to say thanks for the service and if people are on the fence about this site - it is 100% legit.  Thanks again
