Title: Cash for BTC via bank deposit- cant find the how to
Post by: stemcell on February 06, 2013, 04:21 am
i know i saw somewhere that I can deposit money i like a bank of america for example. I print off a form, take it with me, deposit the cash and am either emailed a transcation code or given one there. Can anyone tell me the site i can do this on? I thought it was bit instant but im having problems getting that to wrk. Also, is there a max i can do when i walk into a bank? Thanks in advance.

Blue Sky Traders does cash deposit at Bank of America, I think, and bitcopia.com does cash deposit at Wells Fargo.  Not sure if there's a "max" at Blue Sky Traders, but with bitcopia, the max is $1k per day.

Yeah, I don't know how to get a bank deposit working on BitInstant, either. It keeps wanting me to do Moneygram. However, I've tried Bitcopia, and it was pretty easy. Hopefully there's a Wells Fargo near you.

For customers in the US, there is no bank deposit option with Bitinstant.

They disabled / removed that feature for US-based customers.

will bitcopia not work when operating through TOR? I keep clicking on "Buy BTC' and nothing happens. im wondering if they banned the use of TOR? what is the domain for blue sky traders? I cant seem to find them.
