We are actually just doing system maintenance and preparing to relaunch on Monday.  I'm in the process of creating my account but when it came down to verifying my ID the creepiest thing occurred. It asked me questions about my pops! It asked me to clarify what year he was born. First of all how the hell does BitInstant know my pops name!?  These types of questions are quite normal during basic verification when doing all types financial transactions. You shouldn't be alarmed. |

Be very wary of relying on JavaScript for security on crypto sites. The site can change the JavaScript at any time unless you take unusual precautions, and browsers are not generally known for their airtight security.

Well in that case, can you help me complete verifying my ID? I answered all questions correct and I got denied every single time. Don't know why. Now I have a message stating for me to try again in a week for failing to verify my ID too many times. |

Now I have a message stating for me to try again in a week for failing to verify my ID too many times. I have the same issue with my own personal account and I'm working with the devs to understand what might be causing this problem. I'm just as excited as you to see it fixed. Thanks for your patience with this new beta.  |

We are actually just doing system maintenance and preparing to relaunch on Monday. maybe an announcement or something on the front page would have been nice but thank you for the response We did make an announcement on the front page of bitinstant.com as well as announced this on Twitter @bitinstanthelp I realize the current site design could be better to bring these issues to the forefront. However, new.bitinstant.com is just around the corner...  The new design is sooo much better! Well done! |

However, new.bitinstant.com is just around the corner... So now the twitter link just says that you are still down for the time being. Should we look into that too much? Does that mean it won't be up on Monday or is just weekend downtime still the plan? |

From http://blog.bitinstant.com/"Cash Deposits are currently down on BitInstant as we make steps to transition to our new website. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused and are working as quickly as possible to reenable this feature. People have expressed concern that this benefits BitInstant in some way. On the contrary, BitInstant relies on customer transactions, so downtime only hurts us and we are therefore working as quickly as possible to reengage cash deposits. We will strive to provide future notice for similar situations as they arise in the future to help you better plan your Bitcoin purchases. We apologize for the inconvenience and will post a notice as soon as we're up and running with cash deposits. Also, stay tuned for an introduction to our new website and its great features! We think it will be worth the wait and appreciate your patience!" |

We are actually just doing system maintenance and preparing to relaunch on Monday. Would that be THIS Monday? That is, TODAY, Monday 10, 2013? You know, the day that is already almost over. Or perhaps some unspecified "Monday" in the future? |

Some accounts already have access to the new site and we will be inviting more users on an as needed basis. An "As needed basis"?!?! WTF. As needed by who? Some of your customers are perhaps more valuable? Or maybe more customers will be needed once the exchange rate goes back up... What a a joke! [edit] for punctuation |
