Ben Milne (the Dwolla CEO) never liked Bitcoin because he wasn't in charge of it. End of story.

I didn't bother to close my Dwolla acct but I never do anything with it now and when they send me emails, I treat them as spam and delete immediately. Maybe the fed gov't pressured them, but I still view them as enemy to bitcoin and they bailed on us, so forget them.

Same here. I used it at first, then dumped it pretty quickly. Had totally forgotten about them until I came across this thread. |

I used Dwolla to send funds to Campbx back in the summer of 2013, a couple times, without any issues. What options are there now to send funds to BTC exchanges, online?
It was Dwolla---->Campbx---->blockchain.info................any recommendations now?
Thanks

... didn't like Bitcoin because it exposed how little these midwest college students knew about banking, and then Dwolla defrauded exchanges and users when they were charged back by banks and therefore got sued. |

On the subject of trash-talking Dwolla, Ben Milne's blog is absolutely terrifying. The biggest show of sock-sniffing narcissism I've ever seen.

Not only did he flat out rob Tradehill while he libeled them in the media, but he also likened Bitcoin to a truckload of rotting vegetables back when I was buying with both hands (late 2011.) The only thing I have to say to Ben Milne is: "To go. And a couple packs of salt and mustard to please. No, not honey-mustard...the plain yellow stuff." |

Dwolla was a fun ride. They were the fastest and cheapest way to get money out of MtGox for a long time. It basically only got off the ground due to Bitcoin, as much as they refuse to admit it. I remember when they were putting out PR releases about the growth of their service over the last year (this was mid-2011), and had a chart and timeline about events that lead to their growth. They didn't include Bitcoin.
Want to know what mirrored their graph? The USD volume on MtGox. Their *entire* growth was from Bitcoin related transactions.

I wanted to use dwolla with family and friends but they wanted a monthly fee for the mobile app!
So I switched to Google wallet and square cash. Soon Bitcoin.

It's a little unfair to compare a payments company with an entire distributed consensus ledger. Here's a more balanced comparison.  I guess you are right... and I did forget that the Gov't had a hand in all the Dwolla/Bitcoin crap... anyhow... my connection to dwolla is now severed |
