I just sent $581 of BTC to Maidak's address (14bsB5cugXFYaVZWsuoEYABd9gvkowv42a) with BitInstant; I will update with the BTC transaction ID once the payment clears BitInstant. This amount includes the price of $575 + $6 tip for Maidak.
nonlinear is still in the process of getting out of the newbie section restriction and can post to confirm this once he gets 5 posts.
Update: Looks like BitInstant is failing like usual. Every time I've purchased BTC with BitInstant the transfer fails and I need to contact support. I've contacted them and am waiting. They've always been good about completing the transaction, just that it's ~10:30PM here on the east coast so it might take until tomorrow for the BTC to go through. :/
I put in 2 orders because of BitInstant's $500-per-transaction limit.
Sorry for the delays!
Here are the orders on BitInstant:

I will post the tracking number here once I have it.
Thanks for setting this up, Maidek
