You can read on their site --- you choose the method you want to use to buy bitcoins, and fill out the form, and then they give you more info, I assume.

Hey Scout, i've been on their site, set up an account and everything but i am very confused as how to go about the actual purchasing.

Has anyone ever used ziggap.com?

Do i just go into a Chase Bank and give them 500.00 $ ( FOR EXAMPLE ), and tell them to send it to the person on the ziggap.com checkout page?

Please help, i want to put money on my SR account as soon as possible. Thank you all.

ziggap appears to be a site like bitinstant that allows you to do cash deposits to a bitcoin address. I saw someone mention it on bitcointalk.org's forums the other day as a viable alternative to bitinstant since bitinstant's cash deposit option has been down for a few days. I mentioned the site in a post on here yesterday, and someone said that they used it and it worked fine. Unfortunately today I attempted to go on the site and fill out a cash deposit slip, and it seems the site is no longer working. Probably cant handle all the traffic from people migrating from bitinstant

I haven't used Ziggap before -- I know they are relatively new though.  I would assume that when you signed up for an account you were then able to select the payment method and put in the amount you wanted to buy?  If you select Chase Bank on their page, they should then provide you with the account information for the deposit.

I don't know what the checkout page looks like -- did it give you any further instructions or any kind of Chase bank account number?

Shiit, anyone have any other way to get bitcoins via cash deposits?

If you have a BoA branch nearby..  Bitfloor is worth looking into.

I can tell you, that it works and was pretty fuckin fast.

ok, i tried ziggap, using their MG payment method. the only thing i didnt like was that they didnt offer the express bill payment option.
had to send the cash to a person, which cost me an extra $23.71.
now, i started this transaction 2 hours and 47 minutes ago :)

from start ...to my SR account   ;)

now it's spent so i just sit here and smoke and wait for the mail   LOL 

 ;D


Peace,

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!!

I used ziggap 2 days ago and it worked flawlessly.  I did a Chase bank cash deposit to BTC address and had my coin in less than 4 hours.  Looking at the site now I noticed that chase bank is no longer an option  :(  I hope it comes back because WU and MG deposits take 2-3 days to confirm.

Bitinstant was my favorite but it looks like they are circleing the drain and will be gone soon.  Even though the message on their site says functionality will be back up Monday Feb 25th... Yeah right, they have been giving dates like that for almost 2 weeks now.

What bank does bitcopia use for cash deposits and anyone who has used them, how long was the turn around time?

Peace

Wells Fargo. You can deposit cash in person or do electronic transfers from another Wells Fargo account.  Of course you could quickly and easily learn this by visiting the site for yourself.

Anytime I've used it the coins were already in my wallet by the time I got home. That has been as little as 10 minutes.

For Wells Fargo anonymous cash deposits, do you need to show photo ID for transfers of over $500? I want to purchase between 500 and 1000 USD from bitcopia on Monday...
