took the survey.

one problem is on the 1st couple questions I chose "other" and typed in the text box. but it still wanted me to choose one of the other answers (check a box).

"other" needs a check box so it can be a stand alone answer.

Done and done. Wasnt to bad, done plenty of those paid for surveys in the past and those long ones can really blow.

I too took the survey, it seems you are attempting to make a BTC exchange?

Done.

To expand on one of my comments, if I may.

I'm considerably older than most bitcoin users (in my 50's). When the web was first taking off, older folks were the last to catch on. I don't think it will be that way with bitcoin. My age peers are notorious technophobes but they also have a lot of money that they're about to see drop in value.

Once bitcoin hits, they won't want an exchange. They'll want a bitcoin "store", a place they can buy bitcoins easily. The company that positions themselves to market to the older folks and the technically non-proficient will have an edge on mtgox and other exchanges.

Done. I found it nice and to the point as well. I've had a tonne of ideas around exchanges so be nice to see what you come up.

You know I've thought the same thing to a degree, I'm in my early 30's and I believe that one of the stumbling blocks to get over is getting people to feel safe about bitcoins - one of the best ways of doing this is face to face, in a bricks and mortar building.

Just finished the survey. I would love to see more services return to the U.S.

I wasn't even thinking about that, but that'd be cool too.

I was thinking more along the lines of just a website where someone can buy btc. That would require capital outlay on the part of the store owners and partnering with a bank. Bitinstant is similar, but bitinstant is geared toward the average current btc user.

If grandpa could log onto the site, buy bitcoins with a credit card (with chargeback risks covered by the bank partner), old farts would buy. Old farts love seeing a bank associated with something to add "security" to the deal.

This won't happen until bitcoin goes a little more mainstream, but the first in would reap quite the harvest.

Answered the survey. Felt like a lack of security questions (ie: none) so I made sure to clarify the importance of this since it is especially true during the current "Wild Wild West" era of Bitcoin.
