I'm not aware of this, other than how they scrape the bitcoin address from a publicly accessible forum and link that forum user to the address.  Is that what you are describing?

Maybe get in touch with Trader Steve?

They kind of do ... you choose Dwolla, which Camp BX accepts.

If you wanted an exchange where you can deposit cash without even going through BitInstant, BitMe.com does this.   Unfortunately, there is so much demand for this the exchange rate there is higher than spot price (good for sellers though ...).   

I know this is just a topical skin cream medication, but it is a prescription-only medication.

I think the forum rules prohibit selling of prescription medicines.    Sorry.

That must be what happened here:

What "big bank" cannot send an International bank wire transfer in USDs?

Make sure you are on the most recent version of the client (v0.7.2).  

If you haven't yet, you can close the client and restart it -- maybe for whatever reason there is blocking in the program that isn't resolving by itself.

If that doesn't work, try rebooting and give it another try.

Does it show connections (bottom right of the client?)

If not, then perhaps you are having network issues?

The debug.log will give more info as well.

[Edit: And if you really need access right away, you can always use the debug panel to get the private key and then import that private key elsewhere, like in Blockchain.info/wallet.]

Mt. Gox does not withdraw to a bank in the U.S. except for a bank wire transfer.   They do support withdrawal to Dwolla but if you don't already have a Dwolla account that process takes an extraordinarily long time.

There's also BitMe.com (ACH withdrawal, no "validation" necessary).    Coinbase is fast, but they require that you link your account and wait for the test deposit to confirm the amounts.

And then there's also FastCash4Bitcoins.com

Here's a fairly comprehensive list:
 - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Selling_bitcoins

The site is registered with privacy protection, the About and Contact are generic with no identifying information, and I don't see any reference to #bitcoin-otc trust history or similar.

Do you have any plans to remedy this problem with anonymously run e-commerce sites?

Working with an escrow provider would be one approach.

Today's summary/followup to the East Coast Bitcoin Summit is now online:

The rate that you would have to buy them is immaterial, because you are simply going to convert them to EUR somewhere else at the same rate.

i.e., if you have 100 EUR, and buy BTCs at $13 USD then go sell BTCs elsewhere at $13 USD you get about 100 EUR again (less trade fees, less exchange rate difference between the two exchanges.

So it wouldn't matter if the BTC/USD was up to $50 right now, you are simply buying BTC with EUR and shortly after selling BTC to get EUR at the same rate.

Even Warren Mosler gets that:

Mistake number one.  Never leave funds at an exchange unless you will be using them to exhange.   Mt. Gox provides EWallet service, but that comes at a cost -- limits on what you can do with your coins.


Your bank doesn't withdraw from Mt. Gox, Mt. Gox sends the funds to your bank.  Are you saying the bank rejected (returned the) transfer?


Mistake number three.   There are so many options for SEPA and the cost is not that high.


Not a single problem you are describing has to do with bitcoin.  You are describing the problem with a third-party exchange, not with bitcoin. But, of course, nearly everyone needs to deal with exchanges, so that's fair to say that trouble with third-party exchanges weigh negatively on the Bitcoin user experience.

Unfortunately, for some reason, Mt. Gox seems to have your number.  

Can you convert your EUR back to bitcoins and withdraw to another exchange?  (Don't do it all at times.  Try 5 EUR worth.  If that workds, then try 10 EUR worth.  If that works, try $50 EUR worth.  and so on until you have 500 EUR or so withdrawn, then wait a couple days and repeat.  Eventually you'll have your BTCs withdrawn and you can solve your problem elsewhere.

There are a lot of people who have purchased L$ (SLL) with credit card or other funds and then trade those SLL for BTC and withdraw the BTCs.  It may be a day or so before the BTCs that you withdraw are sent, but that's different from a locked account.

Because they accommodate a lot of reversible payment methods they probably get hit a lot, so they jump to protective mode if an account does anything out of the norm.  Maybe that's what happened.  Their support is generally responsive.  Have you given them a fair amount of time to respond?

IMHO, don't waste one second adding bells and whistles until there are no further improvements that can be made to Bitcoin Exchange Directive #1:

Do not get between a customer and the customer's money (whether bitcoins or fiat).

So if I request a withdrawal of bitcoins and it won't be delivered in an instant, I want to know why and how long.   Same thing for withdrawing fiat.

If I have a deposit address and I send funds, don't make me guess.  You know exactly how many confirmations it got and how many are needed yet.  Show me, real-time.

It's not the best rate but there is someone in Sacramento who will trade, in-person.  Drive a little further (Elk Grove) and you can get spot rate:
 - http://localbitcoins.com/location/US/sacramento,%20ca/

Those buyers are looking for larger sized trades.  You could always place an ad on there yourself and at some point you'll find someone local wanting to buy your coins for cash.  But the exchange rate could fluctuate so finding a trade sooner is oftentimes better than finding a trade at the best price.

You probably are thinking of the service that Spend Bitcoins used to provide.  If I remember correctly, you set up a cart at a site that povides online shopping and then Spend Bitcoins would pay the amount due, after you've paid in bitcoins.

They are no longer offering that service but are still doing exchange:
 - http://www.SpendBitcoins.com

There was another service that would have agents who would order your item for you and ship it to you.  That too is no longer being offered.

Wow, never noticed that.  Ya, some people are going to get a lot of mileage out of that.

Kansas City nonprofit launches free Wi-Fi for low income housing

They got a little help getting online with the help of the Free Network Foundation, a non-profit from Kansas City, which uses JOE'S datacenter for colocation of equipment and serves as the primary link for the non-profit's mesh network transmitting atop the building where JOE'S is located.

Retail merchants with physical locations that might wish to accept bitcoin have challenges with connectivity.  Not only must the equipment their staff uses be able to get internet access -- relying on the customer to have data service as well (e.g., for access to an EWallet) reduces the chances of being able to successfully transact with bitcoin.

This is true especially indoors where mobile phone network 3G or 4G data signals are not very strong.  But it is also true for users who wish to use a device that doesn't have data service (e.g., Wi-Fi only iPads, Android tablets, iPod touch, or the $60 Android devices that are now sold in many parts of the world even.).

So flooding an accessible Wi-Fi signal throughout neighborhoods and commercial districts lets those areas become good candidates for where Bitcoin can become widely adapted with little required of the merchants other than a tablet for use as a point-of-sale device.

If there was one place a U.S. equivalent of Berlin's "Bitcoin Kiez" should emerge, Kansas City might be it.

It's good to see Bitcoin already having a part here though with JOE'S Datacenter and The Free Network Foundation both supporting Bitcoin:

They are making some changes due to some recent activity, as described in another thread:


I'm thinking "not accepted" really means "not accepted until the wager transaction has one confirmation".
