Title: Most painless way to do this? Exchange 3rd party wire transfer -> bitcoins?
Post by: checksum420 on January 11, 2012, 05:58:28 PM
Hello bitcoin enthusiasts. I am new to the game and I have a minor issue.

So I have credit on a site that shall not be named, and one of the available method of payment is wire transfer. Now before I say anymore I would just like to make sure you understand that everything I am doing is absolutely legal, I just do not want to use my bank account. I would like to receive my funds via bitcoins instead of transferring the funds to my bank through wire transfer.

Now, with that being said, I'm looking for an exchange service that will accept the websites' wire transfer and convert those funds into either bitcoins or liberty reserve. I know the name of their bank, the account holder name (Example Inc), that its canadian, and that the funds are USD. I cannot get them to send the wire transfer with any sort of 'transaction id' like is requested on most exchange sites. Instead however, it wires the funds with its own transaction id unique to their site.

How should I go about transferring these wire funds to bitcoins/liberty reserve?

I don't believe any such wire transfer forwarding service exists.

Any service (exchange or otherwise) which accepts multiple wires into the same account needs some mechanism to identify who are wire belongs to credit the right account.

If you can't have additional lines added the wire transfer information then your only choice would be to wire it to an account you own/control.

Well they could try GetBicoin.com
They have several types of ways to deposit $$.  One is even depositing cash into a Chase bank and Bank of America. They had Wells Fargo at one time.  They do charge a little bit for wire transfers though.
Then they could send you the BTC.
