Generally we don't know the fees charged after it gets passed to zipzap but I will ask them about how to obtain this data.

Will need to look at a few other design changes on that quote page too so this might not happen straight away.

Thanks for the feedback

About to change this now

Now this kind of thing is why we do what we do, thanks for the business

With regards to some of the misc bugs people have reported, most have been patched now, as you can probably imagine demand for a new service can be very high and we sometimes get a few glitches popping up. If anyone finds any issues that haven't been resolved already please email support@bitinstant.com and provide as much detail as possible. We're famous now for our rapid support responses.

100.5BTC sent back, transaction fbbf9138112812b7e0a97ba63dd2859ca25ac830f85c5e76b0ac10d0b29b6161 - sent from a gox green address

Many thanks, it was a pleasure doing business

I take it you were happy with the terms I offered as my gox balance is now showing 100BTC

I'll need your repayment address

Did want it to be kept confidential (call me paranoid), but that's too good a deal to pass up.

Let's call it 0.5BTC interest, repayment due on or before May 10th

1NA1KhRvhViv46iDr2VntWeKcDQv5A6hAE is my address (gox deposit address, if you use a gox-to-gox transfer it'll be faster but won't show in the blockchain, I will however verify my account balance after you send - oh the irony).

After you send, post your repayment address or PM it to me

As the subject says, i'm looking for a small personal loan to cover a few urgent expenses but would prefer to keep the details anonymous.

I hope that my reputation should speak for itself as I generally deal with 1000s of dollars of other people's money daily via BitInstant, but as this is a personal loan and unrelated to my company I will provide on request any additional verification of my honesty and intent and capacity to repay.

If anyone would like to take me up on this then please PM. I will publicly post the details after repayment, and of course any lender should feel free to post all details if I fail my side of the deal.

Already one lender has been PMed with a request for a quote, and I just realised that I don't actually need to keep the whole thing private, so please throw some quotes at me if you want my interest

EDIT

Forgot to mention the duration of the loan - about a week or two, to be repaid sometime early may

EDIT

Confidentiality no longer required, and possibly partly filled

I feel the need to step up here as Jered is someone I hold a great deal of respect for and feel he's being extremely unfairly criticised here.

Due to the close partnership that existed between BitInstant and TradeHill, I know a great deal about what happened over there and have to say that Jered is one of the hardest working and honest people I have ever met. I am aware that he is having to manually deal with all requests that come in from multiple users and is doing this solely by himself while also suffering all the blame for TradeHill's business failure as the public face.

Because TradeHill was at its peak the second largest exchange around, it's only to be expected that a LOT of users will be wanting their funds back, and that might make the process slow but there is absolutely no evidence of malice anywhere.

There ARE real scammers in this community sadly, Jered is not one of them - he's one man who's got a lot of weight on his shoulders and is struggling. At no point has there been even a single sign of malice.


One thing I personally intend to do now is to talk to Jered about a more efficient way of handling this, rather than dealing with ad-hoc requests, and the most efficient way to handle things is to sort accounts by balance and proactively contact users. While lawsuits and threats of lawsuits may make you feel better or may possibly get you pushed to the top of the queue, they won't solve the core issue that there's quite simply a huge pile of people needing their funds.

An excellent and true point

I love that idea too, but I can picture a lot of people losing the PIN sadly, let's talk when you're online (and not in public either)

This issue has now been entirely resolved as can be seen on our current site. In future, please do raise any issues like this in private first so that they can be resolved quickly, we are well-known for responding rapidly to support emails and can be reached using the contact form on the website or by a direct email to support@bitinstant.com.

After your PM to myself regarding this i've raised the issue with Jered.

For future reference, it's best to contact Jered directly, neither I personally nor BitInstant carries responsibility now for TradeHill withdrawals now as that service has now closed down.

We've been looking into paypoint for a long time now as it's a service I commonly use myself. Currently, this is scheduled for later this year but we're trying to push it to come sooner.

On the list!

We're always investigating new payment methods, I believe that ukash in fact may already be on the list (it's a BIG list) but will double check that for you and add it if not.

The 400 error has just been fixed, thanks for reporting it.

As for the page in page design - i'll talk to our designer about expanding the page, but believe me that the site as it is now is the result of a LOT of work, we found that using this kind of frame-like effect was generally much more aesthetically pleasing. That FAQ will also be updated soon as we're moving away from the earlier design which used a lot of light humour in a similar style to sites such as nearlyfreespeech.net and others.

And now MTGox orders should be done too - if your order has not turned up (remember, we deliver gox funds as a coupon code sent by email) then please contact myself or Yankee or email support@bitinstant.com and give your TradeHill withdrawal ID so we can look into things.

We're still offering this service for a while so don't think you've missed out, and we've now also optimised the process a lot so that it will be more in line with our usual speeds and live up to the "Instant" part of the BitInstant name.

A quick note for those wondering:
Due to the manual work required, once TH approves, you may need to wait a few more hours for your withdrawal request to get caught up in the current batch of orders, i'm running through one such batch right now and for any future batches will aim to complete the whole lot in no more than 24 hours.

Believe me that I did try to get this whole system automated with a web app, but due to the AML concerns it has become a painstaking manual process. If you are concerned about a withdrawal request not turning up then please get in touch with us via the regular support channels.

I'll vouch for the guys at TradeHill and say this definitely is NOT another mybitcoin, but they are under a heavy workload right now.
We've just been finalising the process for running these transfers while keeping compliant with all the AML regulations and so on, so while it may seem things are moving slowly i'll personally promise that we are both (BitInstant and TradeHill) working to get you your funds as fast as possible.
