Nothing to do with missing coins etc, he is waiting on a pingit deposit that should have arrived a while ago, just like me and a few others...

I attempted to purchase Bitcoins via Blockchain via Barclays Pingit, I've done this before and have always received them in my wallet within a couple of minutes, however, I requested £40 worth of BTC around 20 hours ago and I am still waiting on my coins, I'm not sure why they are taking so long and there has been absolutely NO service updates on general stock, transaction delays, pingit transaction problems etc... Does anyone have any idea what may be happening here?

I believe that Blockchain should add some form of method of keeping up to date with orders so you know what stage they are at and when to expect to receive your funds...

If my support ticket isn't reponded by tomorrow afternoon I'll give Ben a call.

...and my Pingit Bitcoins?

I might deliver to them. I called up their customer services before and it was absolutely diabolical.

Anyway, I've just sent Blockchain some money with Pingit. I probably won't see the bitcoins until the morning as Pingit is all mobile based and transactions will have to be processed manually, and understandably, the fella who runs blockchain is probably sleeping, unless he is nocturnal like me.

A local lad down in Crocky is also selling coins, I might pay him a visit and take everything he has.

Ok I've figured everything out on Pingit I think, where it says 'message', should I put my reference no. in there? Going to try it out with a smaller deposit before throwing a few hundred quid at it.

OK so I'm just opening my pingit account now. Can you verify that Blockchain is legitimate?

I don't have a Barclay's account, but I might go open one right now.

edit; just realised I can do it via lloyds.

Any charges for Bitstamp in the UK, am I paying into a UK account?

The only optioned seemd to be OKPay. They have documentation which proves who I am, and where I live official government documents. Yet  if I do a bank transfer, they need to see further proof, a photo of my holding my identification! Are they fucking idiots? What a load of bellends.

With the terrible customer service on Intersango and MT GOX, how I am supposed to get Bitcoins in the UK? (it can't just be their banks, I worked in business, paying in £5000 a day, with other locations paying in £5000-10000 a day, and I never had problems with my business banking, so it's funny how BTC exchanges are!

People say that you can't do it by credit/debit card because of the risk of a chargeback, that's bullshit. I just purchased a £2000 Gibson by debit card, same thing. How is it different all of a sudden just because the product is bitcoins?

Mercabit tried to charge me something like £12.50 per bitcoin. No thanks... it was £8 or something last time which was reasonable :s

I tried to make a upay account or something to fund MT GOX, but it's another one of these that wants to see all kinds of stupid identification before I can fund my account with my own money in my bank account.

According to upay, a full UKDL isn't a valid proof of my address, either, hahaha! How pathetic.

So, any other options now for getting Bitcoins via a GBP deposit? This is pretty shit...

I'm trying to fund my account on MT GOX since UK transfers on Intersango went down. I can't be bothered with the 3 day wait for the funds, but it is the only option I guess since I'm a UK user...

So, I log into my online banking and go to make a transfer to Tibanne Limited, everything is fine until I see this:

Anyone had this? The details are definitely correct. Is it just me or are all of these Bitcoin exchange websites absolutely terrible in their methods and service? They are constantly experiencing bank issues. First Intersango Ltd have all kind of problems with Metro which resulted in a 2 week delay on my last transfer, and now MT GOX are having problems with Barclays and are limited to a certain amount of 'entries' per day.

I bid 1 btc for the 1T dollar bill.

Well I have done a few posts & discussions and have reached 15... I don't know if that's sufficient but we'll see.

edit; under an hour to go :-)

I've never really bothered with SSD's in my rigs, never really seen the point. I'd rather just save money and have a high end HDD. With the prices of SSD's lowering though... that may just change.

Homeland security... hmmmmmm.

As said I now have the coins.

Thank you for the transaction.

I want some form of BTC wallet I can link to my bank account/pay pal so I can make transactions instantly, could be risky though.
