Wasted an hour trying to fund my Bitinstant order today. The Moneygram people kept saying "invalid last name". This is insane. I've already done 2 or 3 successful transfers and now this. they even pulled up my account with the phone number. crazy.
I am starting over on the off-chance that it was my mistake but it's so irritating.


Last night, I needed to buy $1250 worth of bitcoins (which wouldve ended up being only $1200 after fees)...but anyways....I had to do it in 3 separate transactions because bitinstant only take $500 max per transaction. This all took place around 10pm (est) last night. I check my btc wallet until about 12am, still no bitcoins. Then I woke up this morning and only 2 of the 3 transactions went through. I know there are so many factors (moneygram, bitinstant, and zipzap) where this couldve went wrong but I don't know where to start. Every transaction before that went pretty damn smoothly. Any thoughts?
