Is it possible that your internet connection/firewall is/was somehow stopping the tx's from being broadcast?

Certainly I have not posted a single negative thing about their service or the site itself (just the fact that the general public has no idea who they actually are).

I do wish that btcchina will continue to do good business and grow and also I do hope that the "grey areas" of the law/regulations/etc. will become more "black and white" in the future to help this to succeed.

If there is no legal issues and you guys can be so well trusted then can you please just tell us the legal company name, address and phone number of btcchina so we can do our "due dilligence" ourselves then rather than relying on your "expertise in all matters Chinese".

Well I got the information about the laws/rules/whatever from here:

http://www.informationweek.com/news/internet/ebusiness/218101859

The point that I am trying to make (which seems rather hard when you are seemingly just focused on attacking me and saying that I am "ranting") is that "if btcchina was to disappear don't expect much chance of getting your money back".

And if a successful hacking attack similar to Bitcoinica were to occur with btcchina then I expect it would probably just disappear.

Is that a rant? If so then I guess I am ranting - sorry.

I didn't mean to suggest that there is anything wrong with having an RMB account per se - the "heads up" was more about the point that as exchanging virtual money for RMB is illegal one can expect that if the spotlight is put on btcchina then it is very likely to just disappear.

But hey - it seems perhaps the majority of the community are gamblers anyway so no need to listen to me - put *all* your BTC in the btcchina and good luck with it.


Sound like you don't believe me? I actually hadn't used "whois" for over 10 years and my wife (who is Chinese) has never heard of it - so you are going to say she hasn't been in China for "any length of time" also?

A good strategy and again agreed.

Just trying to give a "heads up" to foreigners who are talking about wanting to open up RMB accounts.

Agreed entirely - my point is that the more publicity and injection of large amounts of money into the exchange the quicker it will simply end up gone (and the more that people will lose when it happens).

Nothing to identify anyone in that page.


Sure - am well aware of Hukou's etc. - guess if they really do know who the guy is he better just hope they don't ever find out what Bitcoin is (or he'd better hope to have left PRC before they do).

Maybe so - but running a site that allows you to change any sort of "virtual currency" into RMB is strictly illegal in China.

So if the guy is really so easy to find then I guess he is the one who should actually be more worried.

A bit like Satoshi Nakamoto - (wo zhu zai zhong guo wu nian ban - ni ne?).

Doh! You quoted me just before I saved an edit it to make it a little funnier.

Although the site has been running for quite a while you should probably bear in mind the following (from a whois search):

Administrative Contact:
Huang, Xiaoyu
Fake Address,
Fake, Jiangsu 100000
China
+86.8160000

Technical Contact:
Huang, Xiaoyu
Fake Address,
Fake, Jiangsu 100000
China
+86.8160000

I somehow doubt that Huang, Xiaoyu is a real name. Huang means yellow (although a common family name) while "xiaoyu" quite likely means "small fish".

Hmm... I don't think I'd want to risk too much money with a small yellow fish swimming around in the "Fake" part of Jiangsu province.

I think that this concept sounds interesting, however, the main problem that I can see with it is having to trust the server(s) you are requesting to send coins on your behalf to (to not for example either ignore your request or to actually log it somewhere).

I guess if one were to chain together a bunch of requests so that an amount from one "shared address" is actually first sent on to another "shared address" (and so on like a TOR request) until finally the coins are sent to a normal output address then perhaps this might be a little safer.

If you have a chance please checkout the demo video in my previous post - I am pretty confident that the system I have created is even more friendly than Rails (although at first it will seem a bit alien).

It might be helpful if someone from CryptoXChange could make a posting here.

According to a whois check the registrant is Colin Armitt - perhaps this is related to CryptoXChange?

It certainly is amazing - although also rather concerning (can just imagine the plug being pulled on it just as quickly as this surge has happened).

I think if you click on "Show new replies to your posts" a few times and enjoy the experience then you might well find yourself becoming another "subber".

Ironically that's exactly why many frequent users don't use the "notify" feature.

As an aside I have been developing a forum "package" for my upcoming open source project which has Subscribe and Unsubscribe buttons.

You don't get "notified" you just see the threads you have posted to that have new replies (and although I don't like to put in a nothing message I do sometimes just make a post so I can keep up with a thread this way).
