BitInstant (BI) has been under scrutiny for several months. I'm really surprised that they just recently stopped offering the option for cash deposit (MoneyGram) to your BTC address. It happened once before, but then it was up a little over a week later.

***Will someone please respond to the following question:
- Should I just not us mt.gox? It sounds like they are the ones who are screwing around. Or is it actually Bitinstant causing all the delays?

I had great post typed out, far more info, well written and it answered a few questions for fellow posters. I sat here for an hour typing it and fixing every tiny error. I obviously had become signed out at that point but didn't realize it before I hit "Post". Lost it all Cry

Anyway, I guess we're all newbs if we are posting here. Looking forward to further discussions in future about 2 of my favorite things in the world: Silk Road and BTCs!

P.S. Jackd523 everyone relies on BitInsant, which sucks, because they are the only one I know and you're FORCED to use them. I just noticed yesterday they now only offer 5 options in the "Pay to" drop-down menu (Dwolla, PayPal, BitStamp, VirWox, and VouchX).

Theres a ton of other options besides Bitinstant. Its just that Bitinstant was the fastest, easiest, and most reliable up until about a month ago. I think all this has to do with Bitcoins being at almost $35.00 a coin. I am sure everyone is waiting to see if the market crashes again because I am sure no company wants to be stuck with a shit ton of Bitcoins if the value drops to $2.00 again.

Yea ever since Bitcoins hit about $30.00 I have seen the reserves staying pretty low lol
