Title: Is there a need for a new exchange? Post by: xiaomei on April 11, 2012, 08:12:55 PM What do you think current exchanges lack in terms of customer service, features, etc?

If it happens to have BTC/USD but also offers: BTC/MXN BTC/KRW BTC/TRY etc. with bank transfers as funding and withdrawal then yes, those are unserved markets in need. or it will convert cash in and cash out methods that nobody else has e.g., BTC <--> M-Pesa or BTC <--> Barclay's PingIT or prepaid card cards --> BTC (e.g., partnership with Plastic Jungle) or MoneyPak --> BTC etc. Title: Re: Is there a need for a new exchange?

Post by: xiaomei on April 12, 2012, 04:26:56 AM Traditional exchanges (CME, NYSE, etc) hold up customers' funds to provide insurance against any one market participant lose enough funds so they are unable to cover margin loses. Is this what you mean?
