Hi,
I tried to use Moneygram last night to send myself some BTC.
Went to bitinstant, set it up, took my ZipZap payment paper to Wal-Mart and filled out the form and sent it. I got a ZipZap confirmation email so I know that worked, but there are no coins in the wallet address I put on the form, and BlockChain shows no transactions associated with that address. Now, I did this at 10pm EST, and it's not only 7AM EST, could that be the reason why it hasn't shown up yet?
Thanks for any help

Is that instawallet.org? It can take some time, just make sure you got the address right,
And were you planning on sending from there to your SR address?
Do yourself a favor and don't, use bitcoinfog as an intermedialry. You'll get truly mixed and untraceable coins into yur SR account.

Doesn't SR already do this mixing when the money sits in escrow?

SR hides the outgoing bitcoin transactions, not the incoming ones. And if there's a purchase, and coins are in escrow, you might say that it's mixed there, but not before, nor after. Before, you have a path that leads from an online wallet to your SR address (not hidden), and after, if you're a seller, the newly-acquired coins that now sit in your account, are hidden (mixed) when they are withdrawn to wherever it is you send them to cash out. But even then, it's wise to use a mixing service to completely obliterate any traceable path that may lead to you.

I have used bitinstant before and my transactions were always completed very quickly, like in under an hour or so. Also The other day I had an issue with a transaction where I was cashing out to a paypal account. I received email support form them from 2am to 4am in the morning and they fixed the issues for me. I was pretty happy with the customer support. You should just hit them up and see what they have to say about it.
