I can say that the Wells Fargo deposit works great for me. Haven't done withdrawal, but that's mostly cause I'm pretty long on BTC and prefer to avoid giving out my ID if possible. I'll give it when I feel like selling some, but that might be awhile.

Same here... I have done a couple of deposits @ WF now and I am loving BF.

So far so good. It's nice to walk into chase, deposit cash, and have my money in the account before i even get home. Used most of the features except withdrawl, and they work great. Hope more people start using this site. It could use the volume.

Out of curiosity, why not?

Lets think this logically (not I wish x would happen because it helps me personally).

Why would someone use a MtGox code?  Why not just cash out from MtGox?

Someone will deposit a MtGox code because there is a long delay @ MtGox.  

If someone could cash out from MtGox with a 21 day delay or cash out from Bitfloor with a 0 day delay which would they pick?  

So you would see a huge influx of semi-worthless Gox codes.  Now when those users deposit a Gox code and attempt to cash out on Bitfloor where does the cash come from?  It is still on MtGox so the operator has to cash out from MtGox wait 21 days for it to get to his bank account and then pay users.     Quickly the cashouts will exceed cash on hand and delay for cashing out will go from 0 days to 21 days.   MtGox can then push shtylman's cashout requests to the back burners (oops this request took 28 days, that one too 32 days).   That would disrupt his cashflow probably fatally.  When Bitfloor no longer has fast cashouts it will die.  

Makes perfect sense.  I was thinking about it just from my perspective where I would most likely be adding $$ with Gox codes and either withdrawing back again as Gox codes or withdrawing coins.

I'm doing arbitrage, so my money never really leaves the exchanges, just moves from one exchange to another.

So this works SO WELL it isn't even funny.

I made my deposit with almost no incident* (see below) by the time I got back to my office (not even 10 mins, it is close) my BF account was already credited!

THANK YOU SOO MUCH BITFLOOR!!!!

*FYI:  The teller processed my deposit slip and told me that she would need a 'new client deposit approval' which was apparently just a trip back to her manager which gave her verbal approval.  I deposited less than $100 so I thought that was strange anyway.
Thought I would cross post this for those who were not aware ^^^

Would also love to see the ability to redeem MtGox codes but I doubt that will happen.

This will not be happening for the reasons described above. We must be able to control all of our cashflow to ensure timely withdrawals.

The only possible reason to use a MtGox code is because there is a long delay @ MtGox.  IF someone could cash out from MtGox and wait 21 days or cash out from Bitfloor and wait 8 hours which would they pick?  So you would see a huge influx of semi-worthless Gox codes.  Now when those users cahs out where does the cash come from?  It is still on MtGox so the operator has to cash out from MtGox wait 21 days for it to get to his bank account and then pay users.     Quickly the cashouts will exceed cash on hand and delay for cashing out will go from 0 days to 21 days. 

Exactly. Part of the reason I'm using Bitfloor to shield myself from problems with MtGox. I don't want Bitfloor to shoulder part of the liability of MtGox's solvency.

That's funny because there's another exchange that... heyyy wait a minute!  You crafty slickster of the English language, you!

There are other sketchy businesses called RBS, and NatWest, and Banque Postale, and Societe Generale... I lost count. People can't get their fiat there either...

BitFloor has such low volume though.  If I wanted to cash out 1000 BTC, I'd be SOL.

What happens when you sell the BTC and then can't actually get your USD Wink Might as well not have sold in the first place.
