Title: BitInstant and MoneyGram?
Post by: nimbus on May 30, 2012, 01:12 am
Has anyone successfully sent money via MoneyGram to BitInstant? I heard from someone that when she tried it there was some kind of weird computer glitch and it wouldn't take the deposit to that particular account...

I have not tried it yet, but this method seems a little more of a hassle than bank deposits due to the form you need to fill out with lots of personal details. I think you would be OK using fake info and as long as you stay under $900 they will not ask for ID. There are way more MG locations than bank branches though, so it could be very convenient for a lot of people.

I just did this at a very well known retailer and by the time I got home, maybe 10 minutes, they had the money and I had the coins. Was actually a lot easier than the bank and they didn't ask for I.D. so fake info will work. IMO works a lot better than depositing at a bank because trustcash was really slow for me and took a few hours.

I heard from my friend that all is well with MoneyGram now. :) Fake info, no ID, no problem.

Just tried this method. Had the coins in my email before I even got back to my car. No ID needed.

getting bitcoins is easier everyday as more people put their talents to invest in more efficient uses.  The utility of money it can be called, but it is in the truest sense an adaptation to its needed utility.

Id like for someone to write up a step by step process too, because this moneygram thing is confusing me.
