Almost 3 days since I used bitinstant. Bitinstant support says all the DDOS'ing of mtgox has got things backed up; but not to worry, it'll eventually go through. Can't say I'm very reassured at this point. Currency trading is time-sensitive. I could understand and deal with a delay of a couple hours, but days?  The BTC industry is obviously going through some growing pains. I hope it comes out ok on the other side.

[RESOLVED] 4/2/2013 - 1:30AM -  It took four days and several attempts with support, but I received my BTC.  Unfortunately at a rate about $20 more expensive than the day ordered.
