Title: BitInstant - How to figure out how many bitcoins you end up with?
Post by: jwilliams3823 on September 01, 2012, 03:23 am
Just did a cash->bitcoin transfer, a little over $100 USD. BitInstant ended up charging around $10 in fees, then used an exchange rate of around 10.4 bitcoins/USD, so now I'm maybe half a bitcoin short of what I need. I see all the fees when you do the transfer, but how can you look up the BitInstant exchange rate? They have a "rates" page on the website that's maybe 200 pages long, and I don't see it anywhere else.

Also, any good way for me to get another .5 bitcoins into my account, without having to pay another $10 in fees?

Thanks
