Title: Got Redeem Code from Mt.Gox - now what?
Post by: sdesu on April 18, 2012, 09:00 pm
Hi all. I just added funds to my Mt.Gox account. I wasn't sure how to transfer the funds to my instawallet, so I clicked withdraw funds. Now I have a redeem code from Mt.Gox. I went to Bitinstant and selected to transfer funds from a Mt.Gox coupon - but I don't know what I should select from the "Pay-to" category. Should it be email? I'm wanting to use my instawallet then transfer elsewhere. I guess what I'm saying is that I need to know what to do on the Bitinstant site.
sorry if this sounds confusing, it's because I'm confused.  :(

many thanks,
sdesu

Hey so is the redeem code for coins on mt gox? sorry your post was a bit confusing, If so go on MT Gox > Buy BTC and select redeem code under payment option.

Sorry about that.
I made an initial cash deposit and bought bitcoins on Mt.Gox with the money that I deposited. I accidentally withdrew the bitcoins from my Mt.Gox account (thinking I could withdraw my bitcoins and send them to my instawallet) - but instead it gave me a voucher/code to redeem my bitcoins. On bitinstant it allows you to send an Mt.Gox bitcoin voucher to another account. I need to know where I should send my bitcoin voucher so that I can, in turn, send them to my instawallet, since it doesn't give an instawallet option. Here's the link if I still make no sense  :-\

Code: [Select]

Ah ok,first you need to cash the redeem code back into MTGox and then withdraw your BTC using the Bitcoin system. I can provide links to the pages if you need them, but always remember dont access MTGox on tor.

Awesome! Now, I sent them to my instawallet. I tried to send them to an external wallet, but it says the funds haven't been confirmed yet (although it shows my bitcoin balance for my instawallet as having the funds?) I assume this will this take a few minutes to process?

Yeah bitcoin transactions require a certain amount of confirmations from the bitcoin network to avoid coins being spent twice. Time varies so just hang tight :)
