Title: bitcoin sites down, please help US cash deposit
Post by: wetbreasts on October 26, 2012, 03:47 pm
Hello. I am from the US and would like to make a cash to bank deposit to any US major banking branch. Moneypak would also be acceptable

The sites I normally use, bitme and bitfloor are both down and I have been looking everywhere for a suitable alternative but have yet to find one. Any suggestions?

Do those services work like bitinstant?  bitinstant is down for a few days and apparently lots of others depend on them (assuming bitinstant bottleneck but not sure I guess).  When they all come back, I wouldn't mind an alternative service to bitinstant if the commission is lower....even if I have to wait longer.

Wow this really sucks! I was just about to set myself up with a vendor account and Bitinstant is down... any other services similar and anonymous that are still working?

The value of bitcooin is dropping, below $10 now.  The fact that you missed the boat might save you some money as you likely would have lost money between when the money was deposited and when you purchased the vendor account.
