What happened to being able to deposit at CVS directly to a wallet address?

I just did this last week.

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

The site is weird sometimes...this has happened before. At the bottom of bitinstant it says this, "Dwolla is temporarily disabled for system updates until next week." Maybe that has something to do with it?

May as well take this time to set up a Coinbase or Dwolla account.  I recommend linking only to a separate bank account like CapitalOne360.

Except that I did create a coinbase account and still can't get any funds. I am getting very pissed seeing this the last 48 hours "Sorry, the maximum number of purchases on Coinbase has been reached at the moment. This is a 24 hour rolling limit with no specific start time. Please try again later. We'll continue raising this limit over time."

I created a account over at ziggap where you can add the address of your blockchain account. You can go to CVS or Walmart and deposit the funds with a moneygram order. Will attempt this after all this nonsense. I created an account just to reply to this issue...Very frustrating.  Grin

found out ziggap does 3.95 per processing fee and to use their "service" its 5.99% which is pretty high...

Dwolla seems like the best alternative when bitinstant isn't.
