An update would be nice ...
+1, it really would be nice to get an update.
Bitinstant was recommended to me by a friend last week, but unfortunately the xfer to Bitcoin was down, and now the whole site is down. Perhaps I lucked out by not performing any transactions while the site was half working, but the timeframe keeps changing on when the issue will be resolved.
For those of you who do use Bitinstant regularly, is this a normal occurrence with their service? This doesn't seem like good business for those who have their funds tied up.
