Has anyone had a successful Dwolla-to-(whatever) transfer process using Bitinstant, which didn't require manual processing of some kind? Is this location/verification issue a Dwolla problem, a Bitinstant problem, or both?
Out of 6 or 7 Dolla to MtGox I did have one go through automatically. All the others had 'verification failed', but they were promptly fixed by Yaankee.
I have done about four or five Cash to MtGox go through instantly. I just did one about half an hour ago. That entails going to walmart and at the money center filling out a form called 'MoneyGram ExpressPayment Service'. The blue form. You have to use the BitInstant site to set up the transfer, and they give you some numbers to put on the blue form. Hand the cash and the form to the girl at the Walmart Money center, and a minute later it's in your MtGox account. She might ask you what the bill is for, just say it's a condo fee or some bullshit like that.
LIke I said I just did it half an hour ago and it worked fine. For a $500 transfer, you have to pay $503.95, and you get $480 into MtGox.
