0.001 says the ATO seized their assets for non-GST compliance

Why is this site down?

Very easy. All you need to do is place an order on our site and then make payment within 4 hours at any ASB.

How " easy " is it for New Zealanders to buy BTC with you guys?

Sorry mate I'm in Sydney, unless you want to do bank transfer let me know

LocalBitcoins?

If you're in Melbourne CBD area, I may be looking to make a small ($100) purchase.

dammmm, I have sold my bitcoins twice so far without any issues for well over $1000 and now that service is closed as I was just about to offload some more from mining...

IS there an alternative service to get funds in AUS bank account without using MTGOX...

I have used Bitinnovate so many times now.

I've used them both to buy coins, and to sell them.

Sometimes I've sold them to fund my credit card and sometimes to buy items elsewhere such as ebay etc. Every time things have gone smoothly, until...

Today the site does not appear to be up at all? I hope this is simply a temporary thing and not some kind of serious attack. Does anyone else have similar issues with the site?

Hope you are back up soon...

Any suggestions on other places I can easily sell 1 coin? I just want some funds deposited to an Australian account for the weekend... just 1 BTC for whatever the Gox rate is at the time... cheers.

edit.

Ok... the site is back up again with the following announcement.

"Our Sell Bitcoins service is currently closed

We are working through some unexpected issues and hope to have it up again soon. We expect to have an update by the middle of June. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. -The Bit Innovate Team, 4 June 2013"


This is what happens to companies that try to play within the law... I'm disappointed they've failed to stand up to the bullies... I half expected Bitinnovate to keel over like everyone else... but was hoping they would put up more of a fight.

Very disappointing... the bureaucrats come in a ruin your business... what do you do? or was it the banks? They are just as bad... oh well... looks like I'll be keeping my bitcoin... spending it at SR or some such thing...

Good bye Bitinnovate... I don't expect you will be back any time soon

I have a quick question. When people send you the funds, do you send the Bitcoins/email as soon as you receive those funds? It's just that I've done two transactions, one was very fast, and the other took a bit longer. What's the reason for this?

This is something we are looking into at present.

Any plans to add service to withdraw directly to NZ bank accounts for New Zealanders?

Purchased 1BTC an hour and a half ago and still haven't received email confirmation or coins. I received both in minutes last time. I hope nothing went wrong.

EDIT: And they're here!

That's awesome, guys. Just in time for my birthday

You asked and we delivered! For the full month of June 2013 we have reduced our rate by 25%. From 7.9% to 5.9% commission on our Buy Bitcoins service.

Thanks for the heads up. See you there

Hey there guys. Bitcoin Sydney is arranging a meetup, it would be good to have you guys there to represent and to drum up some business:

Hope to see you there.

Yeah, they have excellent service, I received my coins within minutes of depositing the cash. So while I'm with you on the tremendous service part, the fees are a little too high for my liking. Next time I want to buy coins I'll probably try buying from a trusted forum member.

I have used these guys 5 times in the last 6 weeks and have received good service every time. Service seems to actually be getting even faster over time, not that it was slow to begin with.

The commission is high, but the service has justified it for me, so far.

We can only accept over the counter cash payments at this stage.

I love the marketplace competition. For buying BTC with NZD, can you do an online transfer, or is it strictly over-the-counter too?

Thanks jingos,

Glad to hear you are happy with our service and thanks for the feedback.

This mob are good. Best rates for small transactions. Last buy took 24mins between cash deposit and bitcoin in my wallet. Last time I sold bitcoin I got my cash in my account the same day

Thanks Seal. We are always happy to chat with anyone in the BTC space. We have been considering a meetup at some point this year. Maybe around our one year antislavery (august) time depending. If you ever wanna chat feel free to PM us. 

I'm currently based out in Sydney and want to wish you guys the best of luck. Australia is under-represented in the bitcoin market. If any of you guys wanna meet up to talk, give me a shout. I've worked with a number of the big players in the market and have been to the MtGox office in Tokyo so always have plenty of ideas

We have our funds distributed between a number of banks. Just like our BTC is held in a number of wallets. We will never keep everything in just one place. Having single points of failure is something we wish to avoid.

One of the major reason we don't accept EFT is not because fraud will leave us out of pocket but because it will tarnish our relationship with our banks and this is very important for us to maintain. We have just seen another Bitcoin company Bitfloor shut its doors for this very reason. https://bitfloor.com/

Yeah.. that's what one of my friends said.  By the time she managed to set up a mtgox account and get funds into it - she paid much more than she would have at bitinnovate.
MtGox is good for catching a dip though.

I'd love to use them, but I just can't justify paying twice the commission compared to MtGox.

Some of my acquaintances have bought using Bitinnovate - and one mentioned that the bank teller was curious about it and said that they had seen a few deposits to 'bitinnovate' in the past day.
That's just one branch - so they must be doing a fair volume of trade!

I've now sold a few times using this service and had no problems.

I do hope that Bitinnovate has good relations with their bank manager(s) and is doing all the right things as far as AML laws...  It'd be a shame to see this service get unwanted attention from regulators due to the sheer demand for the service!

Bitinnovate - do you hold some capital in reserve in a separate bank account so that if your main trading account is frozen, you can still return whatever was in-flight during the freeze (or at least a good proportion of it)?

Well, obviously Bitinnovate is well aware of the need for speed, I was contacted by support and the problem was a mistyped BSB number. It's the first time support anywhere replied to me within 15 minutes of contact. I expect that the funds will be availible tomorrow. I'm glad I used their service, god knows how difficult it would have been to sort out via a stressed by demand major exchange.

I used this service to sell BTC on the 02/04/13 and although I was told I would recieve the funds "within two business days". Its 04/04/13 with 15 minutes til the end of business hours and I'm chasing my money. I'll let the community know how it works out. There has been very heavy volume at MTGOX with complaints about lag (At least in the BTC-E Chat, where I happened to be lurking), but it raises some interesting questions about BTC. For example, while one of BTC's advantages is the decentralistion of trust, (you can't trust the banks, but you can trust the network) I and, I note, many others do not trust services within the bitcoin economy due to the hacks and scams it has been plagued with.
  To be fair to Bitinnovate, It is probably due to circumstances beyond their control, but the only advantage they can offer over selling directly on MTGOX is speed (as yet undetermined) and simplicity of service (which is excellent)

Thanks for the feedback julz

I sold a handful of Bitcoins with this crowd on Friday.  Got my money today by DD to an Australian bank. Seems like a good service so far!

Hi all,

We just wanted to  to let you all know about a few changes that we have made to our website this morning.

The first thing you will notice if you have used our service before, is that we changed the way we display our price and that we have reduced out commission to 9.9%.

We have also added a ticker from mtgox that displayers both AUD and USD prices and history.

We have put these changes in place to help us better deliver new products in to near future and hope to be launching our latest product in the coming week.

Thanks and we welcome your feedback.
