1. Is there another fee on top of the 3.99%? If so how much more
2. How fast does the email get sent and into your wallet?
3. How would you transfer it to your wallet? I guess just follow a link?
Thanks, alpine

Ya I'm actually curious about this as well...
Like, what price are they using to convert your money to bitcoins? Is it the average MTGOX rate or something?

I've been using get-bitcoin and am looking for a new method of obtaining coins. This sounds like an awesome method if someone could shed some light on how exactly it works.

Ill be giving it a shot tomorrow or sometime during this week. Ill give an update once I go through the process.

I've used it several times, and been happy with their service.

I'm not sure. You have to go through a company called Trust Cash if you're making a cash deposit at a bank, and I can't remember if they charge something on top of that as well. I just deposit about $20 over what I want to ultimately end up in my SR account, and that's always been plenty.
How fast does the email get sent and into your wallet?
This is a fairly new offering on their part, so I can't tell you exactly as I've previously had to use CryptoXChange to do the conversion. I can tell you that from the time I make the deposit to the bank to the time I see funds in my CryptoXChange account is typically an hour or so. I'd expect the bitcoin to email would be about the same, or perhaps even faster.

So I did a little reshearch and through bitinstant you can get your coins sent to your email. So what happens is you select email as recieve and then they will use a free service called coinapult.com
Which sends you a email and then you just click the link enter your bitcoin address and the coins are sent

Yeah. I'm going to try this out today. It would be really nice to cut out CryptoXChange, since the only thing I use them for is USD to BTC conversion. The bitcoin to email service, combined with bitfog seems like it would be nice and anonymous.
