Title: Oct.1st laws? No more withdrawing from prepaid card via ACH? Post by: wildboy211 on August 31, 2011, 02:05:59 AM Normally if i wanted to buy some bitcoins i would load up my Walmart Moneycard at Walmart and then send it to Dwolla via ACH then to MtGox. I was checking my card and it said beginning Oct. 1st you cannot withdraw money from the card with ACH.
1. Anyone know about this? 2. Anyone know a way around this / alternative? Title: Re: Oct.1st laws? No more withdrawing from prepaid card via ACH?

Better yet, create a local MeetUp group and cultivate a local trading network so you can do exchanges outside of the formal exchanges.

These companies do not like bitcoin, or want to help it to say the least. Avoid at all costs. also try https://bitcoinbux.com we have a bunch of different ways to pay. we base off of mtgox prices though so its best to buy when they are favorable in comparison to the site mentioned above.
