BTW, Anyone at BITINSTANT, the web site has been updated with a dead link that's on the homepage. (That hasn't even been made a link)
UPDATE ON TRANSFERS: www.blog.bitinstant.com

It comes back with a
Server not found

If the goal is consumer confidence and company survival, you should probably fix that.

bit instant is spent people don't deposit....

update on that, i just received the support email saying my order was executed so things are looking good. will know for sure when it hits my wallet but highly optimistic that cash>zipzap>BI>BTC seems to be working normally

Seriously though, because this must be the shadiest business I have ever personally dealt with - where the hell do I actually contact people that care about my a. money and b. business?

Ursay,

I made another deposit after the last one finally went into my wallet. It hasn't gotten there yet, but not going to start a ticket until around 7pm eastern. It seems things are starting to get resolved, albeit slowly, and for that we thank you.

Good luck today.

This is getting ridiculous - where else to complain?

245 pages of trouble and you still want to make a purchase through this platform.   The list for the 12th has not been started so go ahead and make your purchase and you can be the first one on it.

Please help, BitInstant, are you still accepting cash deposits (to -> wallet) transfers?

In light of the price drop, I still wish to purchase 5 btc today for the current price. Are you guys still selling?

Buyer Beware

Bitcoin bubble may have burst

The price of Bitcoins has plunged more than 75% in the past two days, sparking a rush of activity that overwhelmed trading platforms and suggested the bubble in the virtual currency has burst.
Bitcoins were down to $61.11 as of 9 a.m. ET Friday. Prices reached as high as $266 per Bitcoin around 7:30 a.m. ET Wednesday. But the price started to fall through the rest of day and Thursday morning.
At about 10 a.m. ET Thursday, trading was halted on Mt.Gox, a Japan-based exchange that claims to handle 80% of Bitcoin trade worldwide. The price at that time was already at about $123, down more than 50% from the peak.
Mt.Gox issued a statement Friday attributing both the pre-halt price fall and the halt in trading to the rush of new customers trying to trade in the electronic currency.
"The rather astonishing amount of new accounts opened in the last few days...made a huge impact on the overall system that started to lag," the exchange said. "As expected in such situations, people started to panic, started to sell Bitcoin in mass...resulting in an increase of trade that ultimately froze the trade engine."
The exchange said the shutdown was different from the cyber attacks that hit it and other Bitcoin sites earlier this month.
During the Mt.Gox trading halt, trading continued on some smaller Bitcoin markets, and the price fell sharply. When trading resumed on Mt.Gox about 10 p.m. ET, the price quickly plunged as low as $69.45, ricocheted back up to $135.69, then started to fall again. All the new volume flooding back to Mt.Gox caused another 2-hour halt in trading.
When trading resumed again, it started a less volatile sell-off to the $61.11 price.
Societe Generale currency analyst Sebastien Galy said that even if the bubble has burst for Bitcoins, it doesn't mean it won't have additional rallies in the future.
"Its trading is typical of a bubble," he said. "But there are still people who believe in it. You can't say we're going to zero tomorrow. Even assets that have no underlying value have people willing to trade in it."
Galy points out that even the prices Friday morning were highly inflated from historical valuations. In mid-March a Bitcoin was worth only $47. He said what's so unusual about the Bitcoin bubble is how quickly it formed and how fast it may now disappear.
Bitcoin is a four-year-old digital currency developed by a hacker who still remains anonymous. It's designed to allow worldwide payments with extremely low processing costs. Galy said the wild rise in price moves in recent weeks undermines Bitcoin's original purpose.
"If their intent was to have a means of exchange, then they failed spectacularly," he said. "If we go back to values that are more normal, then the original thought process behind it can take hold again."

Day #9 for me from a 4-3-13 transaction date. NO, I'm not asking for status since I don't want to hinder the very speedy resolution process. I AM GIVING STATUS.  9 Days fighting and tracking an idiotic support non-system. Yep, I might actually earn minimum wage seeking MY money.

It's time for the Friday Special Surprise. Does that mean delivery? -- With 10 bonus btc thrown in?

                                                                  

 

That's what I've been noticing happens to most folks, squeaky or not.

I figured this would happen. Classic Ponzi going on here. I lot of orders are going to get filled today at the price from a couple of days ago. Ponzi or arbitrage call it whatever you want but he all been had. One more name classic white collar by the Mafia.

Just a quick update for you guys, I finally have the BTC I paid for, and it seems to be at the market rate I purchased them at(which sucks, but at least I have the money I paid.) just be patient and it will happen

That APIResponse is your coupon code.  Chances are somebody already swiped it since you have it up here or it could be invalid anyway since that happens a lot.

Its been well over a week and my money is lost in limbo, please help!
