Please share it with all your Korean friends!

did the memo not make it to korea?  flash is dead.

Thanks for the links I just told my Korean friend who doesn't speak much English.

I created an article on the wiki, but Google translate couldn't do much with the site so there are a lot of details I couldn't determine.  Here's the article so far:

 - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoins.co.kr

Is this a fixed price (e.g., relative to Mt. Gox exchange rate) exchange or does it operate a market (with bids and asks)?  

What payment methods are available for buying coins?

What cash-out methods are available when selling coins?

Who is the operator of the exchange (e.g., a registered corporation, or ??? )

Thank you for created an article on the wiki for buybitcoins.co.kr
We only sell bitcoin in Korean Won with realtime price not fixed time because there isn't bitcoin in Korea right now. I will buy bitcoin from Korean soon.
 The BTC/KRW price is made by MT gox realtime price. We are corporation named bitcoin Korea.

I want to translate http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki in Korean and make new website for Korean people. Would I use those sources ?
Please let me know


Thanks
Kevin

Yes, sorry -- "fixed" rate is probably a misnomer.  It refers to how the exchange rate is pegged to the price at an external market, in your case likely to the Mt. Gox BTC/USD rate after adjusting using the USD/KRW forex rate.


A separate subdomain can be created, kr.bitcoin.it which would host a localized version of the Wiki.  Generally this are not just translated equivalents of the English version but pages customized for your specific locale.

The operator of the Bitcoin wiki welcomes the opportunity to have a wider selection of localize version.  Instructions for contacting him are here:

Yes. The exchange rate is adjusted by USD/KRW forex rate. I am translating it. When it will be ready, let you show it.

Thanks
Kevin

Wow! Wonderful

Thanks

very good!!

This is a huge problem that Korea still has.  Almost all Korea companies still use flash on their sites and it just makes life here with a Mac computer very limiting. Every time I have to make a transaction online, or anything involving online banking and credit cards I have to borrow a friends PC to gain access. 
So frustrating.  It's the same reason that bitcoin hasn't been adopted in Korea yet. 
Korea's are so conformed as a society that they basically all watch the same TV shows, listen to the same music, and are interested in the same things. 
Once bitcoin takes off here, it will really really take off I think.  Just like the latest Kpop song, or hand phone game, or TV drama.

This is awesome! how come no one speaks korean in korean section?

Because very few Koreans use this site. BTC isn't popular in Korea yet.  Maybe one day.

The people speaking English in the Korean section are trying to sell services usually and can be ignored for the most part. The people speaking Korean are usually here to share information and build. At the moment, the majority of activity is on Naver cafes, xbitcoinx.com and in a Skype group.
