Hi,

I was on the 4/6 list but still have not been helped and never received any type of update despite several requests by email and pm. I am reposting my info from my original post again below:

BITINSTANT WILL FIX IT GUYS!!! BE RELENTLESS THOUGH...took me 2 days of constant badgering to get it done.

I would just like to stress that last point. I sat quietly and sent polite PMs as far back as 4/2. Bitinstant obviously took that for a sign of weakness and has decided to fuck me as best they can.

So as a result of being nice, I have been coinless for over a week. The only way these people will refund your money is if you bitch relentlessly.

Hi,

Same problem here. 4/8/13 - sent funds from Dwolla to MtGox via Bitinstant. Funds left Dwolla but got a message saying transfer failed and to contact support@bitinstant. No response. Please add to the queue to be rectified.

Thanks

Hi all.

Support list for 4/9 has officially been escalated to level 2 support.  If you are in an older list that does not mean you don't have priority.  I still have to log current issues by date and formally submit them to level 2.

Now updating list for 4/10.  I will start with PMs and then jump back into the thread.

Some other updates your might find useful...

I am going to try and combine my support lists tonight so they are more easily searchable.  Also, as I mentioned before, I got some new training on resolving certain types of issues myself.  I hope to take care of some of the lagging issues that have not been resolved.  However, there is probably a reason those issues lag...they are likely complex and above my level of support.

Doing my best to keep you updated while working on the issues.

Thanks everyone.  Patience.  

Hey URSAY, I'm glad to say that the patience payed off and I got my bitcoins sent to my wallet!
I appreciate all your help, however I still need another ticket opened up on today's support escalation list as I only got .41 BTC when I was expecting ~.51
I got the current rate as opposed to the rate of my transaction which should have been ~160.
I was also hoping the transaction fee would be refunded for the delay. I'd appreciate it very much URSAY

Mtgox -> bitinstant -> btc wallet

My money was deducted from mtgox and stopped at bitinstant, where I presume it went towards the bitinstant owner's boat fund.

threats, including actually following through if they fail to deliver work beautifully it would seem. my shit was about 75% completed 25 minutes after i shot off an email to their support.

they're down to about 45 hours before i make good on that threat

[URSAY]

Almost ALL of the PMs I just checked were asking for status of issues that are already logged and open.  Unfortunately I do not have enough time to respond to these contact inquiries and it's really not a good use of my time.  Also, many of you do not seem to be reading my posts and you are asking the same things OVER and OVER.  I will take a step back and start adding some basic info to my signature and start pointing you all there for basic help in our process.  Thanks for your understanding.

ZipZap to Mt. Gox, stuck at "MTGox Order Loading".
...

Added to 4/8 support list. 

I appreciated the prompt confirmation above, but I still haven't heard anything else since then about my issue.
Can you please tell me approximately how soon I should expect a further response?

Every situation is different and we are dealing with major back log so I can't provide any ETA.  Sorry.

Thanks, even if you can't provide an ETA, can you check what the current status of my issue is, e.g., whether anyone else has even started to look at it (and if they haven't yet, can you please try to expedite that)?

Can you also please tell me what is the next step I should expect (e.g., should I expect some kind of e-mail or other contact from support, or should the transfer simply be completed next)?

I don't really know what this means...  I got some of my money... But not all?

[maxspace321]

I did a transaction on the 7th (2 days ago), but I used the WRONG mtgox address, I used my friends instead. I feel like a dumbass because I've more than likely lost the $500 i put in there. It says manual transfer created but I never got any money! I've emailed support and asked them to reroute the address if the money is stuck (which i'm hoping on my life it is) so they can send it to the correct address. The account number is below (93662)

Please log your issue with me ONE time via PM or the forum thread.  I post finalized support lists for each day around 12-3 pm.  Check if you are on the list and make a note of it.  If you are not on a support list and you believe I still need to open a formal support ticket for you then let me know.  Multiple posts and PMs about the same issue after I have opened your ticket slows everything down for EVERYONE.  When asking me to log an issue you should include info like your order ID # or quote ID #.  The

Yeah, mine was yesterday too. For fucks sake. So emailing support doesn't actually do anything to get it rectified? I should have just posted here in the first place. Bitinstant in the process of being a victim of their own success.
