What have been your experiences with PopMoney? With the problems that Dwolla's been having, see
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/heads-up-bank-fraud-alert-76571I'd like to see another inexpensive way to transfer USD from my checking account to bitcoin exchanges. Because ACH is involved the transfers will be relatively slow. I was hoping to see one of these Person 2 Person payment services catch on but so far, one hasn't. First, there are relatively low limits on the transfers (e.g. $1,000 for PopMoney). Second, they may entail opening another bank account. Third, it's not clear if they would be bitcoin tolerant (like Dwolla) or officially anti-bitcoin (a la PayPal) or they could fall somewhere along a bitcoin-friendly continuum. When I look through this list
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Payment_methodsI see many potential successors to Dwolla, but when will one catch on? Ones I have hopes for along with comments are:
Bank ACH - not offered to consumer bank accounts AFAIK
PopMoney - since a PopMoney account is a separate account (like PayPal and Dwolla) and perhaps since there are a large group of financial institutions involved this service might fit better with bitcoin
ING Direct's Person 2 Person - I used it with ExchB.com successfully but haven't used it since ExchB.com closed its site. $5,000 limit on payments, but payments can only be sent from an ING Direct account
Chase QuickPay - having some problems, see
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/chase-quickpay-not-recommended-11494but although 1 of the accounts (sender or receiver) must be a Chase account, money can be sent from a non-Chase account (a plus compared to PopMoney and ING Direct)
I like Dwolla and I hope they can successfully combat fraud. But for the bitcoin community's sake, a good alternative sure would be nice to have.
