Title: Where to buy call options?
Post by: tistoni on May 15, 2014, 10:09:22 PM
I have found MPEX that has options trading in its FAQ. http://mpex.co/faq.html However, I find the website absolutely horrifying from a user friendliness point of view. Could someone please explain what the price of CALL options are one month into the future and how I could buy them? Also, it says there's a 30 BTC registration fee, is that still in place?

Seems like a shady site. The WHOIS data says it is registered to someone who lives in a commune in Romania with a polimedia.us email address. The email domain (polimedia.us) is registered to the Texas company Norsena, which was seized by the Texas gov't for failure to pay taxes or some other violation:

Interestingly the WHOIS records for polimedia.us list an American address but a Romanian phone number. And Norsena also seems to have had questionable business practices in the past, with one user accusing them of ripping him off of 10 BTC:

I dont know if that 30 BTC fee was is still in place, but i'd avoid this Gypsy company.
