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.

Will BitInstant still support MtGox when they stop using USD code in April?

Yes of course.

Yes of course.

Will it be bi-directional (i.e. other currency -> mtgox USD and mtgox USD -> other currency)? How will it work?

I ask this because I'm not sure if I should keep USD on mtgox now as I worry that I won't be able to transfer it to other exchanges later

Yes of course 

On April 10th you wont need MtGox codes anymore to withdraw.

I cant say more until its tested and implemented, but I will have the ability to 'request' a payment from your MtGox account. You login to your account, and approve the transfer to my account. All this can be done from within the BitInstant website

Sounds like something Ripple was supposed to make possible.

Great job guys. This will fill one major hurdle in Bitcoin which is the difficulty in actually getting Bitcoins.

Thanks 

Now if we could have the opposite. Go into Walmart with Bitcoins and exchange them for dollars you would have the perfect setup for wire transfers of money that could instantly compete with Western Union.

At least bit-pay can do a direct deposit of cash from BTC...

Should have that launched within 4 weeks or so.

Any chance there is an update?  Not being pushy with the time frame, just very excited!

We have something coming but I can't go into full details just yet

Lulz, a corruption of lol or laugh out loud.

In addition to my last post I am now having trouble even using the service as intended.  I keep getting zipzap errors telling me the amount I requested is over thier limit... well what is the limit?  I am following the limits posted on the BitInstant site.  I thought I was paying 4% for this to be simple.

No response to support email yet.

OTC trades are so much easier and cheaper

When would this be implemented?

[justusranvier]

I just want to mention that something changed between now and the last time I was regularly using BitInstant - they've gotten fast.

During the last three transactions the funds were credited to my Mt Gox account before I walked away from the cash register. Last I remember it would take about 15 minutes so I could look forward to being able to trade as soon as I arrived home. Now I'm getting the "transaction complete" emails before the cashier finishes fumbling with the paperwork and hands me the receipt.

Glad to hear you've noticed the improvements

Is BitInstant no longer giving out Bitstamp codes?  I only see gox, ppusd, coinapult, virwox, bitcoin, and vouchx, and I believe depositing a vouchx into Bitstamp requires Aurumxchange, which charges a 2% fee...

I think they have it from time to time. It's running out of stock because they are cheap then aurumxchange

I was just about to begin a new Bitinstant transaction, and I notice that sending directly to an address is missing currently - is this a temporary thing?  I know previously it has been taken away when you guys were under an attack.  Any idea when it will be back?

Thanks!

EDIT:  Sending directly to an address is back, and I was able to do my transaction earlier today.

How long does the PayPal exchange take?  It says it was already sent to my PP account, but I see nothing.
