Yes,
I have been trying for weeks to find a way as convenient to send money to a bc address. I've invested probably 20 hours on this and cant seem to find a way to do this without using mtgox. I used mtgox one time, before I realized I could use bitinstant to set up a transaction as follows... bitinstant/zip zap/bitcoin address. It was so convenient and over a dozen times my money was exchanged into bitcoins and was at the bc address within an hour. Now that bitinstant doesnt allow directly to a bc address I'm pretty much stumped! I fear if I use mtgox my money will get held up for days as it did the one time in the past!? Good luck to you as well!!

If anyone knows how to post this question on Rugatu please do. Or if anyone knows the answere please help. I'd like to get this done in the next few days! Thanks!!

I have aways sent cash via Western union/Zip Zap directly to a bitcoin address using bitinstant. It was the easiest method. The chain was basically... bitinstant/zip zap/bitcoin address. The transaction appeared on mtgox but I didnt have to deposit money in mtgox and make the transaction. Bitinstant made the currency exchange using a 3rd party and the bitcoins went directly to a bitcoin address.

As bitinstant no longer does these transactions does anyone know a easy way to send money directly to a bitcoin address? I do not want to use an exchange or a wallet as why should I do this transaction in 4 steps when one can do it in 2. Or at least I used to be able to do this!? Now I need to find a new way as bitinstant no longer sends directlly to a bitcoin address!?

So, what is the easiest way to send money to a bitcoin address, making payment locally? I'd like to simply pay cash at Western Union as I have in the past using bitinstant! If this is not possible I still want a minimal step methid for sending money to a bitcoin address. Thanks!!

I'm pissed! I've used bitinstant a dozen times to send money directly to a bitcoin address, via mtgox of course. It was literally the easiest and only way to send cash to an address without using a wallet. I really dont want to have to spend ten freakin hours trying to figure out a means to do a transaction as easily! Does anyone know a website that offers a service similar to what bitinstant used to offer... sending money via western union/zip zap to bitcoin adress!? I dont want to start having to use a wallet after all this time! Thanks!!!
