Hey guys,

Yesterday I tried to transfer $300 from Dwolla to MtGox using Bitinstant. I have a confirmation from Dwolla that the money was sent, but it is not in my MtGox account and looking at the Bitinstant record, it seems like an error occurred. I tried emailing customer support and left a voicemail, and I don't want to be a nag but it seems like people are getting pretty quick responses to their issues here and, since it's $300 (and I'm a completely broke college student), I'm really worried that my money has some how been lost.

My Order ID is: 3f0b74fe-59a9-485c-a498-6448bca8399c

It looks like I passed 3 fraud checks and then failed a fourth one, even after the log said "Dwolla Verification Complete." I know that if funds aren't already in your Dwolla account you can fail the fraud checks, but the money cleared through my Dwolla account a few hours before I tried to make the transfer.

I've used you guys in the past and have never had any problems, and plan to keep on doing so in the future if this can get resolved

So I did a MtGox to Paypal transfer yesterday, and it says "Order executed - funds deposited at remote exchange" yet it has been nearly 18 hours and still no signs of it Huh

I tried contacting the email support but no response. Asked someone on IRC and was told to post here, so here I am

Have you checked for any confirmation emails for MTGOX codes? If you have them then you need to redeem them. Let me know if you find anything.

So it's been 24 hours thus far and still no reasonable response.

BitInstant's idea of customer support is having a 150+ page thread with one representative? I've tried to chat with representatives on your website, sent a support email through your website with no response, posted to this thread, and have personally PM'd Ursay.

Enough with the "check your confirmation email for a MTGox code" canned answers.

BitInstant has either been hacked or is grossly incompetent. Either way they should not be dealing with money

As you can see from my transaction details below, my order had nothing to do with MTGox whatsoever. The funds were sent to a personal bitcoin-qt address.

Stop blaming MTGox for a mistake that was clearly made by BitInstant. Stop holding me hostage and forward on my funds.

I understand your frustrations. We have not been hacked. MTGOX was unable to keep their website up yesterday because demand was so strong. BitInstant stayed up however.

I am trying to help. I apologize if you do not find my responses worthy. However, we are doing our best to clean up everyone's issues.

I've added all your details to a support ticket. We will contact you when we have more info. Thanks for your patience!

Deposited $480.05 yesterday, no coins received. I had deposited the day prior, and received the coins instantly.

EventID: 15e05d38-1406-441e-b030-7f8ee0cb7600

I emailed support almost 24 hours ago, and still no response.

Do you have an order ID #? Please provide more details about your order such as the options you used and what went wrong. Thanks!

Isn't the order id number in the above quote?

What went wrong is that I never received the bitcoins. I used identical options to my previous successful transfer. (Moneygram) I see no evidence of any transfer using the blockchain.info search (as was suggested by the bitinstant confirmation email)

I am not sure what other information you need to find my transaction. I feel very uncomfortable copy-pasting the contents of the confirmation email in a public forum. Please PM me for any specifics you need.

Ok, I'm back for round 2, I sent money on 4/2/13, zip zap confirmed funds are good and sent to BitInstant, I've not received anything. My address is my Blockchain address, what more do I need to do? And I never got a OrderID number.

Same problem as everyone else.
Processed two deposits yesterday (April3rd), one went thru fine and one did not.
Looks like an API Error.

We have made a direct deposit into your MTGox account and there is no need to use the coupon system on this order

Its been nearly 48 hours... email support has been terrible, responding only once with useful information, saying my order was re-queued and should be completed "in the next couple of hours"... that was like 18 hours ago.

What is going on

Never even received an email from BitInstant confirming anything has occurred, and according to blockchain nothing has begun. All I have received so far are emails from ZipZap confirming that my money went through.

Thanks for the info. I've escalated your issue to level 2 support. We will contact you when we have more info. Thanks for your patience!

Placed an order 4/3 and the payment was confirmed by zip zap at 3:22PM EST (successfully processed). I have not received any kind of confirmation email from bitinstant and do not have the funds in my mtgox account. Let me know what can be done. Thanks!

Please check any confirmation emails for MTGOX coupons. If you have them then try and use them. If not then report back to me.

Found my quote ID through browser history: fc47bee8-178b-44a3-bd98-3ef675f65fa2

I believe this might be the issue? It's been about 20 hours since the payment was confirmed by zipzap.

I did email support@bitinstant as well but this seems to get the most attention so posting here as well.

Have you received any confirmation emails? Check them closely for MTGOX codes. If you have MTGOX codes in your confirmation email then you need to redeem them. Let me know if you still need help. Thanks!

Good morning,
Reserves are up again, can you push my BTC-e order through now?

Quote from: URSAY on April 02, 2013, 07:39:53 AM

theFed...support is looking at your issue and I am hoping to have a resolution for you sometime today. Thanks for your patience!

Sounds good, I'm really looking forward to having this thing resolved today.

BitInstant,
It's been 6 days now and no resolution yet. I would think my so-called "support ticket" should be at the top of the list. Let's get this fixed today please.

Now that MtGox has proven itself NOT WORTH OF BEING AN EXCHANGE, I have moved all my money over to BTC-e - Sorry to jack this thread...

But, I would like to know the process for taking money out of Dwolla --> BTC-e. And, it seems theFed is having difficulty too. There is no option on the BI site for BTC-e (or any other non-gox exchange)

What are we to do?

So your asking how to use BitInstant to transfer funds from Dwolla to btc-e...correct?

Don't mean to be a pest but didn't hear anything yesterday. Please confirm someone is still working on resolving my order.

I still have you as unresolved and on my list. I'm going into the office later today and I'm hoping to dive further into some of these outstanding support issues. Thanks again for your patience!

URSAY,
Any information for me? I hate to sound like I am in a hurry for a resolution but I am literally sitting here with my car packed waiting for some information so I can feel comfortable going on vacation. This is the only thing hanging me up. I will be camping and won't really have any access to monitor the situation and I am still very concerned. Thank you for your assistance.

USRAY - please look into my issue. i posted on page 115 but was overlooked. I sent money through Walmart to ZipZap using Bitinstant. The funds were to go to Bitstamp but Bitinstant never released them. See the error along with my quote id/order id below and please escalate this for me. This is the 2nd issue I've had with Bitinstant out of maybe 10 transactions and although the first was resolved my confidence is dwindling. Please help me.
