I'm not really sure what information to post, but here's what's going on with me:

First time bitcoin user. I created an account on blockchain.info, and used their cash deposit process through bitinstant to deposit $300 to my account via moneygram (at Walmart). I completed the transaction, took the zipzap form to Walmart, and made the deposit. By the time I got home I had an email saying it had gone though, but I still don't have any money in my account.

It's been four or five hours. The only emails I received about this (at all), is one ZipZap email as a payment slip and a second email from ZipZap saying it was completed. I never received any emails from blockchain.info or BitInstant.

What information can I use to check on this? There's nothing in my Blockchain.info account about it. All I really have is the account number and receive code from the ZipZap email.

Honestly, this is kind of a turn off being my first experience with bitcoin in general Undecided As someone who's fairly tech savvy I can't imagine someone who isn't doing this. Hard to see widespread acceptance when you can't even deposit money at Walmart without problems.

Edit: I see people are asking for ZipZap Acct number. Mine is: 491869913

I've done this method many times and it always works, as advertised, in a matter of minutes. This is the first time there's been a nerve wracking delay. :\
