You can not deposit and withdraw from 2 different guys in the same exchange account.
They will require verification of identity first.


But you can ask the guy to buy btc, and then send btc to your exchange account, and then you will be able to withdraw it to your bank account.

ask client to find a local bitcoin seller  and send you BTC (you can accept directly to exchange address where you can sell them and cashout)

It's not that I'm unaware of the problems caused by government.  After all, I've been reading libertarian literature for a while now...

Anyway, in the spirit of full disclousre, I asked itbit if they accept transfers from third paries and they said "yes, but we discourage the practice". The thing is, I don't trust them to actually do it.

Also, I'm not sure if itbit is to be trusted as an exchange at all.

So...bitcoin doesn't seem to be too useful in the real world?

You've got that backwards.

Bitcoin is VERY useful in the real world (as long as the sender has bitcoins, and the receiver wants bitcoins).  With bitcoins there is no way for any government to prevent one person from sending bitcoins to another person.

What doesn't seem to be very useful in the real world is government fiat currency.  That is where you are running into the problem.  The government is regulating the use of their currency and making it difficult for the person with the government currency to get that currency into a currency exchange in someone else's name.

The problem isn't the bitcoins. The problem is that your payer has difficult-to-use government printed fiat currency.  Now you can see how useless that silly paper stuff is, and why bitcoin is so revolutionary.

by the way, the transaction I want to do leaves a pretty good trail for any government shitbags to follow...and yet it isn't allowed? What a stupid joke.

Yep.  I agree.  Stupid rules applied on the transfer of government created fiat currencies.

Thanks Danny. My client is in NY.

Your solution could work, though I'd rather have the money sent to an exchange.

Because of AML/KYC laws, most exchanges aren't going to allow this.

Hi there,

scenario  :

I have a client in the US who owes me $1500. I'm not in the US and I can't receive money through WU and similar services without losing a good chunk of it, which I obviously don't want to. And, my client isn't willing to use bitcoins.

What I want to do then is open an account in an exchange, and have my client wire money to that exchange (I think he can manage that...). I'll use that money to buy coins...

I opened an account with bitstamp just to learn that I CAN'T do that. They will only accept money coming me, not from third parties.

So, I need an exchange which does accept transfers from third parties. Do you know any?

You could try looking at localbitcoins for a bitcoin seller in the area of your client that is trusted.  Then the client could pay the localbitcoins seller acting as your "agent".  The localbitcoins seller would then send the bitcoins to you.

Where in the U.S. is your client located?
