Getting ridiculous...Dwolla is turning just into another online bank, I'm sure with the new things they want to implement they may need to charge higher fees or something in the future, or to comply with any new government regulations or lawsuits or things they weren't complying to before

BANK MONOPOLIES OVER MONEY TRANSFERS!

"without prior written consent"

The big boys can still play (Mt.Gox, etc), but yeah, no more direct user-to-user trades via Dwolla.  Unless you don't tell them what it is for...

localbitcoins.com here we come

Would give them an easy excuse to freeze and hold your funds.

I had a nightmare with some other money exchange service before (can't remember which) and they froze my account and I had to jump through hoops providing all this personal information and high-res color scans of my driver's license.

If they still allow transfer to/from Mt. Gox that'd be smart.  Bitcoin transactions are probably the main thing that even got them started to begin with.

Here is the next big hurdle to Bitcoin. Bitinstant might really be the way to go...

Um that part you bolded isn't new.  It has been that way for almost six months now.  I guess some people never read their TOS.

Or you can buy with a credit card from me lol just throwing that out there.....

they just shoved the new terms if my face when i logged, forgive me if i didn't know the old terms

The only thing that appears to be new was the Guest Checkout section:

So basically Dwolla finally owning up to its suck roots. Just how many PayPals can there be?

what are its suck roots?

As D&T pointed out, this is not new. In addition, they openly regard Bitcoin with contempt. They've also defrauded Tradehill out of at least 50k USD.
Fuck Dwolla.
