We all know bitinstant is not doing the cash deposits to coin address at the moment. What about Bitfloor? Anyone use them and can recommend them? From what I read on their site it seems pretty straight forward; make cash deposit at Bank of America and just sit and wait for my coin to arrive then send them to my sr or blockchain wallet. Would you guys recommend sending straight to my SR wallet or should I send to blockchain then to SR? Does anyone know how long Bitfloor takes to get you your coin?
Thanks
-
They were by fair my favorite place to get btc before they were robbed. As i understand it the security is much improved and there is no deposit limit. I would use them but unfortunately they stopped chase deposits and there isn't a bank of america anywhere near me. how long? They were as fast it goes. Bank deposits are always near instantaneous.
-
Cool just what I need to know. Im headed out the door now to Bank of America and Im giving it a shot. I'll report back on how it went when I get back home later this afternoon. Thanks!
-
I am also giving Bitfloor a shot today. Hope all works swell and shit.
-
Yo MC do it bro, that shit was easy. About as easy if not easier than bitinstant. All I had to do was go to Bank of America, fill out a deposit slip with the info Bitfloor provides you and take it to the teller, hand over the cash and within 10 min my $ showed up on Bitfloor. Then buy the bitcoin through Bitfloor site and the coin shows up almost instant.
That's where Im at now, Im getting ready right now to transfer to my SR wallet.
Good luck my friend, but like I said its a piece of cake.

Hi calicojack, when you bought the bitcoin on Bitfloor, did you use the market order or limit order? ;)
-
Market order :)

Market order :)
Nice, thanks! ;)

Calicojak,
Did they ask you for your ID?
*Cause I think Im going to give this a try in few days.
-
@ old lady driver Market order ;)
@ecstasydude No id required :D
-
Bitfloor is the best. Low fees too!. For the longest time they weren't doing cash deposits. I am SO GLAD that they have started back accepting cash deposits again, through Bank of America. Makes things SO MUCH EASIER for me.
-
Yeah bitfloor is my go to now for getting my coins. And yep, low fees!
-
Im trying to use bitfloor since blockchains been down for 2 weeks now.. But everytime i try to do the cash deposit it says i need to go the the Bank of America in NY, can i just print that out and go to the one up my block or do i have to change the location? I cant find the change location, just give a list of BACs around my area and their hours of operation.
-
Sorry im not sure i can help you with that question ...
-
@dedhead69
just go to your local BofA and grab a deposit slip and fill it out like this :
Bank of America
Account name: LocalTill, LLC
Account number: **Your Account Number Here**
Address:: New York, NY 10023
Cash Amount: $XXX.XX
then ya just deposit said amount then go check your bitfloor acount when ya get home.
then as far as i know ya just transfer to your wallet or SR account :)
Peace,

-
@ Calicojak.... Thanks Bro.
@ ChemCat.... So the address has nothing to do with the BOA location?
Thats (NY address) is used to show where the money is going too?
and so I just need to go to a local BOA?
Thanks for showing how to fill out the slip too..
-
@ ecstasydude :)
Yeppers :)
as far as i know ya just go fill out that slip (which can be found in our forums here) http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=123981.msg0#new
and hand them the cash then check your bitfloor account then buy bitcoins then transfer to a bitcoin addy of your choice LOL
;)
i'll be doin this sometime next week i think ;)
Peace,

I dont have a Bank of America within 1000 miles of here. Are there any other banks you can do the deposit slip for bitfloor?
-
@wpwl
Do you have any Chase banks around you? If so here is what you do. go to ziggap.com and select cash deposit and enter your info and BTC address to send to. You will get a form with your order number, chase bank account holders name and account number. Go to the drive through at chase bank and ask for a deposit slip and fill in all the info. Make sure you deposit the EXACT amount on the form from ziggap and your done.
Now once you do that you should get your coins within an hour or so but after an hour my coins didn't show and my status said "waiting for bank deposit confirmation". So I emailed support and got a response in less than 5 mins stating there has been a slight delay. 10 mins after that my status showed completed and checking the block chain I saw my transfer getting confirmations and then I had my coins.
I like ziggap more than bitinstant now because of the bank deposit going through the drive through with no ID or personal info, and since I don't have any BofA's around here , ziggap was a godsend.
I'm still upset with bitinstant and it seems their situation is getting worse than better and with almost no communication for days. Leave bitinstant up eventhough it doesn't work?? Seems pretty lazy/shady to me.
Hope that helps
-
^^^ -- Huh I had never heard of ziggap. Sounds a lot like bitme in that is has chase deposits with a $500 max. But it could be better. Bitme was pissing me off a little a few days ago.
-
Maybe he meant zipzap?
-
WOOOOT I am now waiting for my Bitcoins to show up on SR, finally i can go shopping! lol Thank you so much for the help everyone!
-
Happy Shopping! ;D
-
No he meant ziggap.com. Just go to that site and it's all self explanatory. I just used bitfloor today for the first time. Very silky experience so far. Just waiting for them to hit my SR wallet which as everyone knows is the longest part. I love how the USD just shows up in your bitfloor acct without having to call them like you did with bitinstant. Very cool. Damn these forums rock! Or I'd be sending a moneygram under my own name. Thanks a lot guys!!
-
No prob! These forums do rock! ;D
-
Thanks for the reccomendation.. I will give karma for that =p.
What is a chase bank? Does it just say chase on it or is chase a parent company?
-
Holy crap, Bitfloor is awesome. No more CVS trips for me :D - Super quick NO ID fuck yea bank of america
-
Chase is short for Chase Manhattan Bank. It's one of the big 6 mega banks that actually owns your ass. It's another Rockefeller creation if I'm not mistaken. Just startpage it and you'll see locations all over like BoA. Bad part is that ziggap.com has suspended chase deposits for some reason. It says temporarily but who knows. You can send cash in the mail to cryptocurrent. From what I understand they'll even send you an overnight shipping label.
-
ah fuck me.. I have to drive 2 hours across the border to get to either of these banks.
-
I'm starting a thread dedicated to reviews, offers, and scam alerts of Bitcoin Exchanges and Vendors selling bitcoins... I'm asking anyone with a recent transaction (completed - not incomplete and looking to bitch/moan) to come to this thread and give an honest, fair review including timelines, processes, fees, and any customer service interactions. Thanks!!
I hope this helps everyone out a lot!!

That's where Im at now, Im getting ready right now to transfer to my SR wallet.
So when you transfer from Bitfloor you don't send the coins to another wallet before SR? I'd like to just send them directly to my SR account, but that doesn't seem safe.
i was able to sign up at https://bitfloor.com using TOR, but i can't click Deposit. I need to allow Scripts, should i do this? I tested it at a site that shows your IP and after allowing all scripts it still showed my TOR address.
-
Bitfloor gets My Biz since the Bitinstant Crashed. Very Simple, and fast as long as the market is not jammed up. I think it was about one hour fro0m deposit to Sr account, Maybe a little longer. They also offer a Chase service but I dont want to link any bank account for security. I was going to transfer to Bitfloor first but did not and all went through fine.
Good Luck Coining!

Dam first time, Im going on to 2+ hours, and still nothing.
From Floor>SR wallet :(

Went to the bank, didn't realize i was filling out the incorrect deposit slip. I needed to be filling out the other slip, which wasn't available for me to just to and fill out before going to the teller window.
Ask for the "Out of State Counter Deposit" slip

Exactly, same situation.
Actually just hand the teller, the pece of paper you printed, and ask her for a cash deposit slip.
She did all the writing for me, in a snap. Very nice.
I also just got my Bitcoins, now Im going to transfer the rest of em to SR.
I traded more money for Bitcoins, on the website, and this time, it went instantly exchange to Bitcoins.
Im starting to love this. I think I found my new Bitcoin connect. :)
Sweet,
Thanks Guys for your help, and information!
-
Yeah, at my BoA they don't have the out of state deposit slips at the little kiosk in front of the tellers, just normal deposit slips. You just have to go up to a teller, ask for an out of state deposit slip, fill it out (or just read her the account number and she'll fill it out for you) make sure the amount is correct, give her cash, done. Couldn't be easier. I'm pretty sure you can do it in the drive-thru as well.
-
The teller filled out the form for me also. The drive-up at BoA is for customers that have an account with the bank. So far all is good, i transferred the money to a wallet then another wallet, now waiting for the final confirmations to clear so i can then move the coins into my SR account. I love BITFLOOR
-
ecstasydude, did you ask the teller for some of those slips before you left? I did. I got 10 lol
-

That pisses me off. I asked the cunt at my bank for just like 2 or 3 extra ones and she wouldn't give them to me. The fuck?
-

Good Idea BHO!
Fuck it, ill just make BoA fill it out.
Going back tomorow again :)
Bitfloor is my company to go to now.
-
Remember, going through the drive-thru is the best route - no cameras. Someone had made a comment that the drive-thus is for customer (account holders) only - they don't know if you are depositing in your own account or not - what they are preventing is someone who is a non-account holder who has a BofA check that they want to cash (they bring them inside to 'check their ID' and to also try to sell them an account) - for all they know you are depositing money into your own account (you're just from out of town).
SOURCE - worked in retail banking for close to a decade...
-
Thanks for the clarification jshizzle23. Next time I'll use the drive-thur
-

I seriously doubt this to be true. CCTV camera technology is incredibly cheap these days and I would expect _every_ bank drive-thru to have one. The tellers who work the drive-thru are usually also simultaneously working the inside counter and they use the cameras and monitors to see if/when customer vehicles are in the drive-thru lane. I've seen this equipment in operation when I've been inside banks. Of course, buying Bitcoins with a bank deposit is legal, but if you want to preserve your anonymity the last thing you should do is allow yourself to be recorded doing the transaction while sitting in a vehicle with a license plate that is registered in your name. Instead, go park around the corner, then wear a hat and sunglasses when you walk into the bank and hand your cash to the teller.
-
Just used BitFloor for the first time today. Worked just like BitInstant but cheaper! Very easy to use and will be using again. Question though, are there limits like there were for BitINstant ($500).
-
LOL, wearing a hat and sunglasses into a bank is probably a bad idea bro
-
LOL
Glad to see everybody loving bitfloor , its awesome. ;)
-
Most banks will ask you to remove your hat and sunglasses before you are allowed to do any transactions at the window. There are DEFINITELY CCTV cameras at the drive thru's taking pictures of every driver and passenger. How about this- go in the bank with your shoulders back and your head up like you aren't doing anything wrong- BECAUSE YOU AREN'T!!! It is not illegal to buy BTC and I would hazard a guess that many of the people who buy them are not doing so for illicit reasons. It's great to be safe, but the paranoia is getting out of hand. Does anyone know of anyone that has EVER been pinched because of messing with SR? Anyone??? I'd love to hear how it happened if they exist, but my guess is it wasn't because they bought some coins anonymously at the bank! Relax and enjoy SR because it is fully awesome and we shouldn't be biting our nails. We should be having fun and helping others to do so. Enjoy!!!
-
Tried out BitFloor today and everything went through smoothly. The money was in my account by the time I drove back home so it posts pretty fast. The fees are way less with BitFloor than Bitinstant, about $6 cheaper on a $80 deposit. The transfer times are pretty good, took about 3 hours from cash deposit to coins in my SR account.
I was already annoyed that bitinstant did away with bank deposits, but once I heard Mt.gox was verifying identification it was time to jump off that sinking ship. I prefer bank deposits and they don't give a shit if you wear a hat and glasses inside the bank, at least not around here.

I would recommend you drive to 5 banks in your area and look for yourself to see if ANY of them have cameras on top of the buildings, or anywhere besides the little cameras in the ATM - there's NO PURPOSE - you can't ROB A BANK from your car... I even worked in a bank that had cameras/monitors to notify us of incoming vehicles - NOT HOOKED UP TO RECORDING DEVICE - because it's pointless... Cameras are for security purposes for robbery prevention/information...
SOURCE: STOLE $10K FROM BANK THAT HAD THAT DEVICE USING THE DRIVE-THRU AND ONE OF MY FRIENDS IN HIS CAR... (long story short, cashed a check that was basically 'lost money' and sent it right through the canister...
And, there's nothing wrong with walking into a bank with a hat and sunglasses - just keep your hands out of your pockets if there's a guard - remember, they're a business just like anyone else - they'll only really freak out if you pull a gun, tell them you're there to rob them, or pass them a note...

the small fee that Bitfloor charged i got back the next day when bitcoins went up :D

I heartily agree.

Bitfloor sounds great, but there is only 2 BoA locations anywhere near me - and they are both ATM only locations. One specifically says it does not accept deposits, while the other will accept deposits of cash or checks. Would I be able to use this to do an out of state deposit? I'm kinda assuming its only to deposit into your personal BoA account, as I doubt they'd have the proper forms located at an ATM. Would just go check, but it's not all that close to me in the first place. Really hoping Bitinstant gets shit together, or Bitfloor gets back on board with Chase.

Yeah, it's too bad we don't have more banks that provide deposit ATMs that will allow deposits to any accounts at that bank. It seems pretty common outside the USA. You don't need a bank card to use these machines. You just enter the account number you want the funds deposited into, then insert cash or checks. The machine will show the name of the account holder so you can verify that it's the right account and it will count your cash or scan your checks. I've done this overseas to make hotel reservations. This would seem to be an ideal Bitcoin-buying scenario for vendors like Bitcopia or Bitfloor.

This reminds me. Bitfloor informed me that it is very very unlikely they would be adding any new banks for cash deposit in the foreseeable future. Something to do with their mediator, localtill.

Another Bitcopia vote here... easy. Here's my two cents from the Newbie forum that lists details: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=126638.msg873359#msg873359
-
Whirl I found the whole bitfloor experience doable and fairly efficient I was annoyed at the lack of conis available and the relative low volume of trading. Hopefully that will improve but I found myself paying at least #1.50 higher per btx then Mt. Gox current high. While the fees were much lower at 1% for the deposit handler and the 0.4% for the bitfloor fees. The additional cost per coin made it a wash with bitinstant fees. It is sad to see Bitinstant go the way they are and add to that Mt Gox/ I hate the fees for the traders of btc for mp here not to mention the ease of getting ripped off.
Hilly.

Ah fuck me...
I just drove across the border today.. fucking 300 mile trip to get some BTC. I logged on to read the fourms after the fact. There is a wells fargo within 5 min of here.
On the bright side.. The BitFloor/BoA transaction was very smooth. Is Bitcopia/WF the same process to get BTC?

Now bitcopia is down!!! GAAAHHHHHA

You do not need to drive anywhere my friend.
Visit BOA.com and start a free e-banking account.
There are no fees or anything. (unless you ever try to use a human-teller)
Once you have a free account with them, you can use Account Transfer to send money to Bitfloor's account from yourPC@BOA.com
Bitcoins are not illegal.
Nothing about bitcoin is illegal.
Create 3 www.blockchain.com accounts.
Deposit your coin to Account1
Move coin to Account2
Move coin to Account3
Now your Coin is 100% annonymous.
How do I know this works?
Imagine a jar of 1000 pennies.
you put 5 pennies in that jar and shake it.
you take 5 pennies back out.
did you remove the same exact pennies? probably not.
you're welcome.
on another note: I tried bitfloor.com for the first time today and am still waiting on my money over 2 hours after I deposited the money to their account. Will update later.

3hours later.... i am still waiting on bitfloor. Perhaps I am impatient, I don't know.
Nobody has answered my 3 emails to their support team.
Has anybody else had to wait long for bitfloor?

When using Bitfloor does one need to use IE or TorBrowser is fine? Also, can you use tormail address with Bitfloor when signing up and stuff?

I'm about to try this method of obtaining BTC for the first time today. I've been relying on MoneyPaks > vendor for over a year. Just one question. Are there fees each time you move your coin to another wallet? And, if so, wouldn't it be easier and more secure to just use the Bitcoin Fog?
-
Did a deposit via BoA now waiting for the funds to hit the bitfloor account. So far process has been smooth. Will update when I receive funds and buy/transfer btc.
-
Hi happyroller , i think there is a small fee each time you move your coin to another wallet, but i think it's like $0.20 and it can take up to an hour each transfer. By the time i got to the bank and the coins in my SR account was 10 Hours.
Bitfloor > Easywallet > BitcoinFog > SR Account! <-- would work well.

Just use clearnet, it's not illegal to buy BTC. You can use an email from Mailinator.com then like Funbagz says, Create 3 https://blockchain.info accounts or https://easywallet.org accounts. Deposit your coin to Account1. Move coin to Account2. Move coin to Account3. Now your Coin is 100% anonymous.

Update! Took just about an hour from deposit to hitting bitfloor account. Purchasing Btc at market rate was nearly instantaneous but was a buck or two higher than MtGox rate atm. Now sending coins to a bitwallet then on to SR.
-
a most excellent and educating thread this is! i've been using bitinstant/mtgox/zipzap/cvs for a year now, but bitinstant has been down due to "site revisions" for almost a week. i need a plan B. i need to look into this bitfloor.
-
Blue Water i think it's now plan A :)
-
Excellent info. ;) Thanks to this thread, I funded my bitfloor account today. Money was in bitfloor account when i got home 30 minutes later.
Traded for my coins (limit order) which was almost instant as well. Super fucking easy.
Does anybody know if it's safe to leave the coins in bitfloor account until I'm ready to use them???

Same here. It was toooo easy. The lady at the register saw that I was having some difficulty fill in up the slip for the first time (had to ask for the slip and let her know that I may need help as this is my first time doing this) and she insisted to do it for me which of course was my plan from the get-go. I just arrived home and the entire amount was in my account. Traded for the coins and NO! it was INSTANT, no waiting what so ever to get your coins. All I know that bitinstant lost a LOT of customers that used to do money grams like myself. FUCK them idiots who the fuck do they think they can down their site for over a week...fucking morons loosing god knows how much money...I also did not get a chance to party last week due to their crap until I found out about bitfloor last night...bitinstant can go fuck themselves now. Thank you Bitfloor. Party time this weekend :)

So I can do all of this using IE (clearnet) and when I am ready to deposit to SR after account 3 move I should log-in to blockchain.info or easywallet.org account using tor browser and move the money to SR then?
Also, what is wrong using instawallet.org? Not recommended or something? Can i do the move 1,2,3 with instawallet as well?

Do fees apply when moving coins one wallet to next using easywallet.org?
-
Transfered the coins from bitfloor to easywallet.org and my coins are in easywallet account but why am I getting this error message when I try to move them to SR?
"Error!
Not enouch balance or confirmations, sendable amount is 0 BTC "
WTF is this? Do I have to wait until my transfer is confirmed or something?
-
blster666 it's all good lol just wait for the confirmations to complete, there are 6.
-
yep, you are right, bitfloor might be plan A, and bitinstant will be plan B!
this bitfloor sounds exactly like bitinstant's system when i could make an out of state deposit at my local bank of america. though i doubt this can last long, bank of america will feel the heat from LE, and stop the bitfloor thing too, like they stopped bitinstant.
and my local branch would give me a stack of the out of state deposit slips, so i could fill it out at home, make the deposit quickly when i go in the bank, not call attention to myself.
although i didn't find the CVS system so bad with bitinstant, who is now back up, btw.
i think i will use bitfloor and bitinstant both, until bank of america stops taking deposits, or mt. gox starts verifying i.d., like dwolla does.
-
blster666 it's all good lol just wait for the confirmations to complete, there are 6.
I was finally able to move my coins from one account to another within easywallet.org since I got 20 confirmations. I must admit this was way too easy but I gotta work on my patience. Thanks all for the tips and super thanks to the founder of this thread...
-
Blue Water i also feels it's just a matter of time before we have to start using another service. If that happens i'll do business with Blue Sky Traders or bitcopia.

Bitfloor was very smoothly for me. Setup my account, setup a deposit at a BOA, walked in grabbed an out of state deposit slip. Teller filled it out for me. Took my cash and deposited it into the account I was given. Also picked up a few extra out of state deposit forms for future deposits. Even though Bitcoins are not illegal to purchase I would like to point out NO ID IS ASKED FOR WHEN MAKING A DEPOSIT! You just give them the deposit slip and the deposit is made, you could also do this from the drive thru with no issues at all if you wanted to. I live 20 minutes away from a BOA and by the time I got home my cash was in my Bitfloor account. The only objection I have to them is their Bitcoin purchasing price, which was almost four dollars more than Mt. Gox per coin. I was only charged $2.86 to transfer $200.00 USD into the Bitfloor account, but they get you in the back end charging inflated Bitcoin prices. So it ended up being around $11.00 USD in fees to transfer $200.00 USD into 4.51 Bitcoins. Bitinstant is fairly cheaper, espically using Mt. Gox. Which comes to around $6.00 USD to transfer $200.00 USD into Bitcoins from start to finish.
Hope this helps!.

So I decided to give this thing a try. I went to a BoA branch and got an out of state deposit slip and realized I'm missing a few bits of information. Bitfloor didn't give me their full address, just the city/state and zip code. Is that a problem?
Also the slip says I need to present ID to make a deposit. Yeah yeah, I know buying BTC is perfectly legal, but I would still like to create as much of a buffer as possible here.
Has anyone else had similar issues? Is the incomplete address a problem? Do you actually have to show ID? This is the first time I've bought BTC making a deposit at BoA so I'm a bit nervous.
EDIT: OK so having actually read some of this thread, I see lots of people saying no ID was required, so I guess I don't need to worry about that. Nobody else had problems with the address?

Please read the above post. No you do not need to provide an ID for a deposit. The New York, NY 10023 is enough for the address.

actually, i've been doing this b of a deposit for a while, and the teller is supposed to fill out the address from their computer. and there is no i.d. required for a deposit. (and i've never been asked for an address or i.d. in a year)

I didn't have the address either (cuz they don't provide it). the teller told me she needed an address. I looked confused. she said "any address" so i just put in 123 main street. And I had no issues at all with my transaction. Real easy, but I also found my buy rate to be about a dollar higher than the going rate on mt.gox. But for the hassle it saved me, worth it!

Are you only allowed to have one pending deposit? Trying to deposit ~$1000 so I would need two deposits but it's not letting me.

Guys be very careful when buying Bitcoins of Bitfloor.
When you see the price on Bitfloor, go back and check if its the same on Mtgox.com
Because I was about to purchase them for $138.5 on bitfloor.
I check on MtGox, and it was at $131.5...
That's like almost a $7 difference in between those websites.
I refreshed Bitfloor, it jumped down to $136.5...
Refreshed again, it jumped down to $135.5....
So in few minutes you can give Bitfloor $10-$20 extra,
Bitfloor is slow on updates.
Check and Refresh people.
