Title: anyone have experience with 796.com?
Post by: vanchau on December 28, 2013, 04:36:52 AM
I only found messages back in June/July, nothing recent.  Anyone have any experiences they can share with this exchange?

I found them two weeks ago, they seem to be in Hong Kong (so am I) and seem to be using the Mt.Gox API. I'm considering to try to meet them in January. I'm reasonably active in meet-up groups and gatherings here surrounding crypto currencies, but haven't seen anybody of this exchange yet.

Any other exchanges out of Hong Kong you are using that you like?

Do you trust business operating out of HK/China? 

What's your opinion on Hong Kong gov't view on bitcoin related business?  It seems friendly from what I've
seen so far.

I generally trust businesses operating from Hong Kong, with the mainland China I'm more careful.

The government's attitude in Hong Kong towards can best be described as lukewarm. Warnings have been issued to people to be careful. That's about it. However, the richest man of Hong Kong yesterday announced investments in bitcoin related companies, I wrote a small article on my blog: http://www.vdschagt.com/richest-man-hong-kong-invests-bitcoin/
