My Gox to Dwolla transactions have all been processed within an hour for the last month or so.
Would I get some sort of premium if I traded Dwolla for Gox? *scratch*

5:35GMT - replied to the support letter, informing them that I had asked for a full refund. asked how to return the amount that was issued and receive my refund for the full amt, due to their inability to meet their obligation.
In defense of BitInstant, they don't have an obligation or anything on their website guaranteeing that it only takes an hour: Funds can be available in as little as 15 minutes and are typically available within one hour at the exchange or other merchant selected by the Customer Our service aims to make most deposits happen instantly - within a matter of seconds in ideal cases, and in an absolute worst-case scenario we will still aim to have funds into your exchange account before a stated maximum deadline (on average about 60 minutes depending on various conditions) The hour deadline is an average estimate, and if they offer to refund your fees if it takes longer and you're unhappy with the delay. From what I've seen on the support thread and in complaint threads on the forum, it seems like people with the longer delays tend to have them because of their resistance to supply information relating to the order or to accept the support that's given to them. You wanted Charlie to email you, which he did, and you're upset about the email address he sent it from? The reply address he used was one of the three you sent you message to in your original email. Doesn't look to me like he was the one delaying things at all. They have 'anything' on their website guaranteeing that it takes an hour after you place an order. I'm pretty sure that's what 'Guaranteed' means. If guaranteed doesn't mean that it's guaranteed, then it shouldn't be guaranteed. Make sense? Do I need to elaborate? Post some screenshots? Your quotes? That is supposed to be relevant..... how? I placed an order. After I placed an order, I received a guarantee. If the funds weren't going to be ready in that typical hour, then I shouldn't have received a guarantee after placing my order. My resistance to supply information? Good lord, what the hell are you talking about? I supplied all the information necessary. I think. Right? If I didn't, wouldn't support mail me and ask me for some more information? I wanted Charlie to email me? I wanted to get a refund. Mailing someone on these forums is not an email. Whether or not I was "upset" is irrelevant, unless you're suggesting that it would be so difficult for him to log on to a BitInstant account that it would result in hours of delay, rather than messaging me on these forums. Is that what you're suggesting? He mailed me on these boards several times. It has nothing to do with the emails. Please, stop talking out of your ass. And here I was going to make some speech about how we'd finally reached an agreement I was happy with and that it's nice that the head of the company took the time to email me... then I have to read this drek. So, then, in short: I was refunded my original purchase amount and compensated for an exchange price difference, which was generous of them to do as it wouldn't have even been something I'd request in BBB mediation. I would advise other people that have delayed transactions not to worry about it, but I would say to be diligent about mailing support (especially if you want a refund, rather than to complete the transaction). I was going to post some more, but the 21after2 asskissing threw me off way too much. (and I would call you out on some of your false assumptions, except for the fact that a third party is involved and we have already come to an understanding) ... and I did update the BBB with a glowing review of how the problem was handled. Guess that's the last edit.

Why.. use Liqpay?
Because you can use a credit card or paypal. I think? Not really sure what you're saying. Although I don't know why the OP doesn't just transfer the liqpay to btc-e... bitcoins are usually the cheapest there, anyway.

I've sent everything thru the BitInstant support email address. I've still yet to receive a refund, approx. 28 hrs later. I shot off an email to the NY BBB and plan on ringing them when they finally open. 10 EST til 4 EST? The Tyler branch is open 8 hours..
Hey, you sent me a PM saying you'd rather speak thru email. I sent you two emails last night waiting for reply. I sent a PM requesting all further communication occur directly from a Bitinstant email address. I sent this email: From: xxxx@hotmail.comTo: xxxx@bitinstant.ladesk.com; xxxx@bitinstant.com; xxxx@hotmail.comDate: Thu, 24 Jan 2013 13:21:15 -0600 got a response here: To: xxxx@hotmail.comDate: Thu, 24 Jan 2013 14:52:09 -0800 From: xxxx@bitinstant.ladesk.comsent this email in reply: From: xxxx@hotmail.comTo: xxxx@bitinstant.ladesk.com; xxxx@hotmail.comDate: Thu, 24 Jan 2013 17:13:02 -0600 several hours later, after not receiving a response, I then sent another email: From: xxxx@hotmail.comTo: xxxx@hotmail.com; xxxx@bitinstant.ladesk.com; xxxx@bitinstant.com (trying to cover as many bases as possible, here) Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2013 03:27:14 -0600 This morning, I got a response from you: To: xxxx@hotmail.comDate: Fri, 25 Jan 2013 06:38:09 -0800 From: xxxx@bitinstant.ladesk.comIndicating that you had sent me an email 15 hours ago and were still awaiting my reply. My reply to that message is here: From: xxxx@hotmail.comTo: xxxx@bitinstant.ladesk.com; xxxx@bitinstant.com; xxxx@hotmail.comDate: Fri, 25 Jan 2013 09:57:10 -0600 I wanted to avoid discussing it on here, but I felt a response was needed in regard to the insinuation that I was the one causing delays by ignoring your recompense offer. From now on I won't talk about the issue here. Again, I'd like all further correspondence to be conducted via an entity recognizeable as BitInstant rather than these forums. One last thing to some other folks on this thread, I spoke to the BBB mediator and she said that it usually takes a couple of complaints for a company to get listed on the BBB Website (assuming that the first few complaints are resolved in a positive manner). I was told I was the first person to file a BBB complaint against BitInstant.

Besides Dwolla, liqpay is leaps and bounds ahead of any other of these funky currency exchangers i've tried (that are accepted at bitcoin exchanges)

Try -salvagewallet first.
The usefulness of your backup depends on your keypoolsize (default: 100) and how many keys you've used since the backup. Every time you ask for a new address, you use one key from the pool. Every time you send and get change, you use one key from the pool. If your wallet isn't busy, a backup from a few months ago may still be fine. Try -salvagewallet first anyway.
The "not enough space" message probably doesn't mean what you think it means. Check your db.log file for clues.
hmm, I've always put 'keys=0' in my config file, to stop wallet bloat

I'd get 5830's instead of 5850's as well. Your 5830's wouldn't depreciate in value as much + every single one I've ever had can run at at least 750 core @ 0.95v.
You can save even more wattage by totally removing their fans. If your ambient temperature is 74o or less they won't overheat. Keep the heatsink on, ofc (but not the shroud).
I don't think some random 400-600 watt PSU could power 4 5850's, either. Even with your OS on a USB stick. It could (*600w), however, power four 5830's at 0.95v without fans!
(I just checked, mine is pulling 37 amps for 250mhash/s, 750/135)

They also completely moderate their support forum they have on their website. I posted a question regarding the limits and it was removed. Not even a response. They want me to buy 10 bitcoin, wait 30 days with my money in their account?? What are they nuts? What kind of people would use a service like that? They're basically sucking in people's money, using it themselves for 30 days. I suggest, STAY AWAY from a place like that. I'll just use Tangible Crypto to get my coins. I've tried to deal with many other ways to buy bitcoins and you can even compare any of them to Tangible. They are just too good. What is Tangible Crypto? Better than bank wire transfers?

Yes, this happens if you enter the site through something like, say, a Google search link that has the site in a diff language... it then sets that as your default..
As some other ppl said, you can change it w/ the flag in the upper right hand corner... and it definitely is a glitch.

It is terribly frustrating to watch the market do very little for months and then on the day volatility kicks up the API lags and freezes.
There cant possibly be that many people or services trying to read this feed, so fix it please? I am sure the Bitcoin community has enough talent to help you with this even.
You know it could be just down to so many trades and bots trying to trade. There is really only one fix, and it isn't software it is a hardware so yea. yeah, those bots would be working overtime with all the arbitrage on mtgox swings

I spend at least a good hour trying to figure it out. The "live chat" have no one on it. The "support" have no one responding. The earliest response was 2 days after I submitted it, and they only responded b/c I started this thread.
I just tried "live chat" on BitInstant and received a live operator in about 15 seconds. Can't speak for other cases, but... I sent 2 emails to support and didn't receive a response until 11:30am central, on a transaction that was 'guaranteed' to be completed in one hour. You'd think they'd have someone around 24/7, throwing around guarantees like that I tried calling the BBB to expedite (at around 3:20pm central) but they close at 4 EST, lol. I am waiting on a refund now, for several hours. as long as that is done, it isn't bad to be listed on BBB anyway, and there would be 1 out of 1 resolved complaints (i've gone thru the BBB four times and only had one complaint stick. you have to make sure to keep track of everything, record phone conversations, all emails, etc. they are 99% for business, that is where nearly all their donations come from anyway) (ed one last time: it would be easy just to change this wording. make it our guaranteed delivery time or your transaction fee back or somesuch.. dont tell me expected delivery time is in 4 minutes and guaranteed is in one hour then ignore 2 support emails for 7 hours). i suppose in some cases it could be the fault of the exchange, but in my case it wasn't

The pool I belong to ( https://www.bitlc.net/) is just swamped with this latest block. It's been over 3 weeks, going on 4. If you can, PLEASE sign up and start mining. We have to be near the end of this one and this block is just pissing me off. I'm throwing everything I've got at it. https://www.bitlc.net/It really is a great pool to belong to. Even if you just want to check it out once, they offer a full payout and not just x.xx bitcoins forcing you to leave a remainder. There's nothing to lose by jumping on board for a few days until this block is busted. please help! The whole 25 BTC is distributed fairly among users that helped solving that block, based on the amount of shares the user contributed with.that's all I could see in regard to payment... is it prop??

I filed a complaint with the BBB, so hopefully BitInstant will be a listed business on there sometime in the next 24hrs.
Complete with original order web page showing guaranteed delivery in 1hr, as well as correspondence (two emails to support, one 1hr15m after transaction, another 3hrs after).
If I don't receive a response in another several hours, I'll file a fraud complaint with the government (IC3).
update: at 5:30GMT, about 12 or 13 minutes after this post, I received an email from support saying that my transaction was processed. however, I asked for a full refund as they were unable to fulfill their one hour obligation.
5:35GMT - replied to the support letter, informing them that I had asked for a full refund. asked how to return the amount that was issued and receive my refund for the full amt, due to their inability to meet their obligation.

What's the Ukrainian Site?
liqpay.com it was super quick (ed: well, if you have money in your paypal account, it's near instant. i think if you use bank, it might take a few days the first time, then quicker after that)
