Bumping this thread up. This sucks. My usual vendor is holding a certain amount of pills for me and I can't buy without getting the rest of the funds in. Hoping it's up in the morning when I awake...anyone know of other options if not? Like...cash deposit into mtgox without this damn bitinstant business...?
Thanks in advance for the input!

Bitinstant doesn't have bank deposits as an option anymore.  You can still do moneygram options, but I liked banks better.  Plus, they have a higher deposit cap.  Anyone else notice this?

Whats up with bitinstant? It looks like i can no longer send straight to my SR account unless i send to Mt.gox or paypal or one of those.. are those Options just down for a bit or what? This sucks! Iv been off the road about a month now i get on and ready to go put money on and the normal option to send direct to address is gone!

We wanted to provide a quick update to our users and the community regarding BitInstant’s inbound and outbound payment methods, which have recently changed.

What changed?

    Cash deposits via banks has been suspended
    Payout to Bitcoin and email addresses (via Coinapult) has been suspended


The cash deposits to banks have been suspended as we’ve had a number of problems with our partner.
Until these problems are resolved, we won’t be accepting the cash deposits at banks.

It’s always been our intention to diversify away from the banks, regardless. Indeed, cash deposits are
still available via our non-bank retail locations (Walmart, 7-Eleven, CVS, etc.). Further, we are very close
to adding a host of new payment locations (non-bank) and some very exciting new payment methods
that are far superior to the bank deposits.

Regarding the removal of the payment option to Bitcoin and email addresses (via Coinapult), we know
this is highly inconvenient for many of you. Coinapult is currently building a new, far more advanced
system which acquires and sends coins out to customers, and when this is done, the feature will be
back.

Additionally, this will mean better prices for BTC conversion, faster transactions, and a more diversified
exchange environment (less reliance on one single exchange).

So, please bear with us during these growing pains over the next week or two.

TL;DR
-----
+ For cash deposits, you need to use the retail locations (not the banks) for now
+ Coinapult features (pay to email or Bitcoin address) will be back in a week or two
+ Exciting new payment methods are imminent (more cash locations plus something even more special)
+ When Coinapult is back, exchange rates will be better, with less reliance on one exchange

Thanks!
-The BitInstant Team

Well damn.... Thanks for the update though.  I was freaking out, still i guess im gonna have to setup at mt.gox for now.. Does Mt.Gox charge you to have coins sent there and then to say blockchain? then to SR?
