[ANN] 700,000 Cash Deposit Locations in Brazil, Russia, USA - BitInstant

[Yankee (BitInstant)]

we now have 91 banks and accounts in each one.

Will you be providing service in each of the countries listed with UseMyServices
 - https://www.usemyservices.com/current-country-banks/

If so, these will be the first time bitcoins are available via bank transfer in many of these countries:
 Mexico, Peru, Serbia, Czech Republic, Boznia and Herzogovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Lithuania, Switzerland

We already do, try it.

I tried with Lithuanian bank, and it doesn't work. BitInstant support (Rachel) was completely useless, and it took sending three messages with screenshots to UseMyFunds support for them to acknowledge that it in fact doesn't work:) Their reply was:

Hi,

We are having some technical issues that's you cannot able to make deposits.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Sincerely,

BP

Hopefully someday this will get fixed..

Working on it.

Will your cash deposit service make it to Canada any time?

Spain doesn't work either. You can select it in the list on bitinstant page, input all the info and then they call you. After that you don't find any Spanish bank available on the list

Any chance of this service coming back to Canada?

[chemical404]

I just realized I sound like an asshole in my previous post:( I'm easily annoyed lately, probably not getting enough sleep.

Sorry, Rachel.

She did suggest me I tried contacting usemyfunds directly if any problems with on-line bank transfer, and definitely was more helpful than umf support..

Anyway, any updates? This is very needed service in many countries..

Thanks.

What's the easiest way to convert a check to bitcoins in my wallet? BitInstant?

Personal check?   In the U.S., Camp BX is likely the only exchange to accept that funding method:

From another thread:

The site is now back online and fully operational.

Fully operational?

The pull-down menu option for "From: Major Bank Branch" is still there, but the site yields an error for any transactions using that method.

Does that mean BitInstant got a letter also?


From another thread:

We have received an email from TrustCash that they need to implement certain technical changes and until they are done with the same, they are suspending deposits for the time being.

This was just received today [...]

NOT happy that fully functional means there is no     From Dwolla ---> to Bitcoin Address   anymore.

OK, so what's the point?  Like I would send from Dwolla to PayPal...

Thanks for the clarification.

@Yankee  - Thank you for responding.  Bitcoin has indeed been a rocky road, with sites closing and new ones popping up.

I have no problem waiting. I had actually cleaned out my Dwolla balance and sent it all off to MtGox (expecting Bitinstant would be another glbse.com). Now, I plan to refund my Dwolla account as soon as direct purchase is available again - until then, I am getting good MtGox experience.

It sounds like you have some new features coming (very exciting) - when   Dwolla-->฿ address    comes back, I hope you will include at least an estimate of how much ฿ one might expect when purchasing. After finally getting Dwolla verified and money transferred there, plus the 30 day waiting period, I made two ฿ purchases with no clue as to what the $/฿ would be.  I got 12/1 for both while MtGox had changed significantly.

Either way, glad to know this is only a glitch!

Yankee,

I sent you a PM about a failed Transaction I made about 8-9hrs ago.

Thanks.

Hey, yup! Resolved

Canada will be added within weeks, and other countries will follow...

It's been quite a while... any update on anything for Canada? 

Heh, Im actually sitting with them right now in San Francisco!

We're at the last steps here, just need to open up a bank account but integration is done.

More than half a year later...   were you not able to open that bank account? Did everything fall apart?

Nope, we just have alot of development and need to prioritize other features and fixes at the moment.

I heard that you removed the option to have bitcoins sent straight to an address? Is this true?

Just for the night while were under attack.
