Has anyone of you used circle.com ? Is it possible to link Indian bank accounts and then buy and sell bitcoins ? Is it legal to use circle.com in India?

Is it legal to use circle.com in India? I had signed up with circle when they launched recently. Unfortunately, it does not support Indian bank accounts; not even non-US credit cards. And since Indians can't use it, the question of legal or illegal does not even arise. Title: Re: About circle.com Post by: btctechie on October 12, 2014, 02:40:11 PM Please see this-: http://inc42.com/buzz/new-rbi-rules-to-restrict-creditdebit-cards-international-usage/
May be this is the reason you were not able to carry out your transaction on circle ? Because some non-us folks posted on reddit that they successfully linked their visa/mastercard on circle .

It's like the Indian government wants to completely cut Indians off from the world economy.

The Q is how much one is charged by his bank for this... Used my indian credit card to buy. hassle free. however, i was charged under cash advance and not credit. cash advance fees are quite high. not the best option. Title: Re: About circle.com Post by: KJBit on October 12, 2014, 04:40:58 PM I see. I misunderstood the question it seems.
Anyway, I don't know how somebody was able to use their Indian credit cards because circle clearly states that non-US credit cards are not accepted. Title: Re: About circle.com Post by: anujjain on October 13, 2014, 08:32:46 PM I tried there and they are not allowing to add bank or credit card there.
So it's useless for Indian. Title: Re: About circle.com Post by: BitCoinDream on October 13, 2014, 09:13:05 PM I tried there and they are not allowing to add bank or credit card there. So it's useless for Indian. I have not tried it, but if it is true, it is good for the Indian and Bitcoin as well. In general, success of Circle is bad for Bitcoin.

Title: Re: About circle.com Post by: BitCoinDream on October 14, 2014, 08:36:53 PM How is success of Circle bad for bitcoin? One of the basic plus point of Bitcoin over Credit Card is chargeback is not applicable to it. Now, if that Credit Card can be used to buy Bitcoin, then Bitcoin looses one of its pillar. But, thankfully, the model of Bitcoin purchase against Credit Card is not a stable one and hence Circle is already restricting world wide Credit Card acceptance.

I am based out from the UK . I have linked my UK debit card to Circle.com. Purchase bitcoin is super fast, but withdrawals takes 2-3 days .
