Given that the situation is going to be very fluid and potentially risky, we at Shire BTC Vending and Shire Bitcoin are shutting down the Bitcoin Vending Machines in Manchester, Concord, and Keene temporarily on July 31st. We at Shire BTC Vending will be monitoring the situation and will post updates on the Shire BTC Vending website and NH Bitcoin forums. Shire Bitcoin, who operates the Concord BVM, will post updates to their site as well.

So after one the major exchange is toying with the idea of freezing bitcoin transaction

the little guys are also taking steps...

Are there any more examples of business shutting down their bitcoin operations on July31st -Aug1st ?

What do you think about people already pissing their pants fearing something that will never happen?
