Hey whats up guys,

Investing into my first bitcoins today after debating for the past two weeks. Went through with it and used BitInstant to cash deposit USD by moneygram to a bitcoin address. The order has been completed on BitInstant (Order executed - funds deposited at remote exchange, etc.)

22272abc-58b4-4fb1-b280-4862f752fc76 heres the quote ID.

My question is did I choose the wrong receive option? I noticed they had an option "Bitcoins to email" and would that have been better? Because won't the Bitcoin address I have only receive Bitcoins or will it convert those dollars into bitcoins automatically? Newb mistake I know, just curious.

I believe you received your funds.  I am seeing 11 confirms on your transaction.  Are you using Bitcoin-QT?  Maybe you just need to download the blockchain?  Smiley

Yeah I checked myself on blockchain.info and now have 12 confirmations, and I never didnt believe I'd receive the funds I trust BitInstant. Im using Bitcoin-Qt on mac, I think the issue is its still synching to network and my wallets are out of sync so once its synced it should show up I assume? thanks for quick response.

Ya you got it!  Cheesy

It's always wise to be patient with the blockchain.  You'll see what I mean as you continue using BTC.  Cheesy

Ok, so I'm supposed to believe that this isn't atroturfing?

In one hour a noob got their money and felt it necessary to post here?

So explain to me how this super-excited noob found this board?  You know how I found it?  By googling and trying to figure out if I had been scammed.

Previously, I had given you guys the benefit of the doubt.  Now it is clear to me that you are scamming on a sick level.


Wait so they are scamming people here, inermae ? I'm confused, aer you bashing me because I'm a noob. I've been following BitCoins for 2 years just never made the jump to invest. I posted here because its a decent source of info.

I was just looking for some help, no ill will towards any and all.

I am on an Internet forum talking to people that I genuinely have no idea if they have any relation to the company that I gave $500 to.  The "official" support email has returned nothing to me in three days.  The homepage and the blog have NO indication that anything at all is going on.

Forgive me if I am feeling funny or irate.  This isn't exactly the sort of thing that happens when you deal with a reputable company.
