I am afraid that whatever they planned to do to manually process the orders fell through. That's the only logical explanation I can think of as to why no orders have went through and they have not spoken about it since. I just have a bad feeling all around about the situation now.

Again folks, stop whining.

Just successfully completed a payment by going through my account, paying via zipzap (moneygram), and I'm trading with the cash already in Gox.  Previous transaction still pending, but if they wanted to screw me would they be processing my payment just now?

No.

Let them do their jobs, nobody is losing their money.  Too many whiners in this community who are ready to throw the towel in every time a decent company has a reasonable delay.

Because I am waiting to use my bitcoins now for a product I was ready to purchase 3 days ago. Not everyone is investing with bitcoins some people are trying to use them as currency now. Don't come on here stating that we are whining because we expect the level of service a company guarantees. Their god damn motto is 'Time is money!' for God's sake. Do NOT tell us that this is a reasonable delay when they told us specifically last night that orders were beginning to be processed manually.

Gareth was online 4 hours ago. I can't believe he didn't post anything concerning this situation. I backed him yesterday and told people to calm down when they were riding his ass. Gareth show me the same respect and just tell us what happened and why the manual orders did not begin processing? Jesus Christ just keep us in the loop.

URSAY we were told SPECIFICALLY 4 hours ago that you guys started manually processing orders and NOONE has shown proof of that. Not even 1 single person. Please give us an update. How many have been processed? If none when will it start? We deserve answers. It is no longer supposedly that you guys are waiting for the heads up from devs to begin. WE WERE TOLD THEY HAD BEGUN PROCESSING ORDERS AND NONE HAVE BEEN PROCESSED!

How the hell do you 'shut it down for night' when you have HUNDREDS of customers waiting on THOUSANDS of dollars?

I have to say this does piss me off Gareth said that then disappears and hours later not 1 single person has gotten their funds. I stayed positive when we were mislead but this is getting ridiculous. BI won't respond to tweets either. I almost guarantee that when I wake up my funds still won't be in my wallet and then I am going to be pissed.

This sucks lol. I was one of the tuesday afternoon orders. The worst part is, this is my first ever attempt buying bitcoins and I dont even have a bitinstant account. I did this as a guest, so I have no way of checking the progress of my order. Im freakinggggggggg out lol. I contacted zip-zap and they said they can refund my order tomorrow if I still havent gotten my bitcoins. So that put me at ease a bit.

They said they would send you your funds tomorrow? ZipZap told me if I wanted a refund they could do it but it would take 5-6 business days.

I haven't seen anyone say they have had their order executed either. Gareth how far along are they and what amount of time will be required to complete all of them?

Gareth you never verified if I am in the queue. And, if available, how far into the queue I am?

I see no new information that we weren't already aware of.  The smoke and mirrors don't work on me!  We already knew our orders were "Paid" Duh! So did ZipZap and so did BitInstant.  "Wait just a little bit longer" for real people how is this anything new than what we already knew?  The only thing that was knew in that entire paragraph was the amount of effected, that we are to take their word on...which I might remind all of you in the last few days hasn't amounted to much!  I'd love to see some real information, and authentic answers to our questions.

ETA even a guess?

Why did you leave the site terminal open even 12hrs into knowing that "No" one was receiving anything from their purchases with ZipZap?

Why was no warning put up to prevent more customers from hitting this huge sink hole, compounded with the removal of the only warning the customers had Q&A?

Those are real questions, that need real answers.  Not telling the same ole excuses just in a different form.

The new information is that they have begun manually executing the transactions. Or that is what I took from it.

That is amazing news Gareth thank you. My order says paid on the ZipZap site so I guess I am just now waiting for my number to be reached and then my funds will arrive. Can you check Gareth and see if my order is in the queue and what number I am on the list? My ZipZap account number is 582071056.

Gareth, imho if you guys would just give a more specific response instead of such a generic answer the community would be much less ready to freak out. If you would tell us exactly what problem caused the funds not to be transferred instead of merely saying 'We just launched a beta site of course it is going to have bugs' we would all feel more calm. Also give us an ETA based on what you think even if isn't set in stone. A lot of us would just like the honest opinion of someone within the organization. It truly seems you are by far the most helpful of all the BitInstant staff and I am very thankful you are at least here trying to address some of these concerns but if you could just add a little more depth I think we would all feel a lot more secure about our funds. Again just let us know the exact issue that caused our funds to go into limbo and give us an estimated time frame that you feel they will start manually executing transactions. Thanks Gareth.

P.S. Guys you can catch a lot more flies with honey instead of vinegar. Let's keep our cools on this and be respectful even if we feel we are being mislead.

Gareth I have had orders that had to be manually processed and they always filled them in just a few minutes when that happened.. so why would you have to loan that guy the money instead of just manually processing his transaction? So you are basically saying that you do not even have the capability to track our orders and manually send even one of them if you wanted to? This doesn't sound good.
