same here...

waiting since 5 days... - no reactions from them more then 48 hours ... - and before telling always the same ("they are already looking into it", "someone is just now working on it" a.s.o. - and nothing ever happened ...)

just for the report: got my money today, problem solved.

Look for the bear necessities!!

Why are the mods ignoring this? Is Bitinstant "too big to fail"?

honestly the moderation on here is disgusting and apparently they back every big scammer that rolls through even up to the end.

been waiting 9 days for a simple mtgox to bitstamp usd transfer. i have not received even an acknowledgement of my issue from bitinstant. see my sig for details.

I am missing out on the time to buy because I used to use bitinstant, they need to clean up or else this won't look good for bitcoin in general.

I was also scammed. Been a week of relentlessly trying to get my money and they won't give me it. This thread deserves attention

Yes. For longer than a month. I have been warning peole since Jan. The scammed me back in November, then led me along (technical issues, someone deathly ill, etcetc, for abut two months, then pretty much not giving you your money. Stop using them before you become the next victim.

pretty sure they gambled with the users money while the price was raising and made a nice amount of money through that... yet now that the bubble did burst they face the problem that their coin is only worth half of what it should be.. so they have to take orders to pay older orders..

I dont have proof but this is the only reason i can think of why all of a sudden they have liquidity problems and deny people (like me) the money they should have got a week ago...

If someone has a better reason for this i'd be happy to hear it..

Knock on wood I have used them 2x so far in the past 4 weeks and haven't had any issues.

My transactions were cash>MtGox and cash>email address.

I placed an order with BitInstant during a big dip a couple weeks ago and didn't receive my btc until four days later. They didn't even send me the right amount! I believe their policy is to lock in a price once dwolla funds are received, which means I should have received ~20% more BTC! Their support was very unhelpful and didn't seem to think my issue was important enough to resolve.

I am sure they are scammers. Look in the Service Discussion, many users have deposits that vanish, of much larger amounts. This has been going on for a month now. Anyone using BitInstant now, will risk putting money in a sink hole.

I have sent my $500.00 to them more than two weeks back. I haven't heard a single word on what happened to my money yet. The interesting part is, I did not even ask them for for a bit coin deposit. But rather a vouchX deposit...not sure why they cant event get the coupons over to me after 2 weeks unless they just "swallowed" my money.

I heard good things about them thats why I decided to use them for the transfer, but think I made a big mistake. I have posted more than 5 times over the past week and not even a single useful response. Their support guys are trying their best to be responsive on their thread but I dont think theres being any useful progress being made at all(atleast from my experience).

I at least want this post to be a warning for others to be more careful...as bitinstant dont even seem to have a notice about these delays on their site(why should they? More money coming in the better for them I guess!)

WHY ARE MY MESSAGES BEING IGNORED?...I ASKED FOR VOUCHX COUPONS...NOTHING RELATED TO BITCOINS...WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG TO SEND YOU THE COUPONS?

please answer my question...my other plans are getting delayed because I used your service...atleast be reasonable enough to give me a direct answer for when I can expect to get my money...Your delay is dragging down my other plans...

this is the fourth time asking about my VouchX deposit...Why do I have to keep posing on this thread to get my money back and keep checking back for replies twice a day? This is how you want to TREAT ur customers?

Its been more than a wekk and I have no idea what happened to my money?? Why is it so difficult for you send me my vouchX coin? If you care about your customers then why is there not a notice on your site infroming about the current difficulties you are facing??

I'm starting to loose my cool with my order...Please resolve this...its been more than a week of BS.

order ID - 8787e0d9-d976-4bf3-9f05-f54b881e6613

I have escalated you thru support and they are working on it. I am not requiring you to repost or check back. You funds are safe and you will get your order as our customer service agents work through the volume.

We HAVE posted all kinds of things about the current difficulties we face and we always do! You must not be reading?

I apologize for your wait and I hope to have your issue resolved soon. Thanks for your patience!

Can you give a day count? How fast is "soon"? - please dont try to dodge this questions, please be specific. As this would give a clear idea of the timeline to plan my other activities around this.
