wow. beautiful ! "THE CUTTING EDGE OF MONEY" haha

i'll take one. sent you pm.

Yes, that is what I was looking for. I didn't see Chuck's reply when I posted last. Thanks for that link.

I checked out urdubit.com and I spoke with them just now.

They said it is a 1% fee to withdraw and 0.75% to trade. So that is 1.75% fees. If I send $3000 to Pakistan then that's about $52 in fees. No better still :\

Hmm, so basically I am currently out of luck for all practical intents. I don't know of anyone who would buy bitcoin in Pakistan and it would be too much hassle to ask my business contact to sell it that way. I need it to be seamless.

So it seems we have a way to go. It sounds like I will unfortunately have to continue to use Western Union and Bankwire's with huge fees for years to come.

Basically we just need trustworthy exchanges in every city as you say.

This is a narrow-minded view and not what my OP even asked for.

If you just want the value of bitcoin to go up. But even then, without real-world uses, nobody will be *holding* bitcoin for any period of time. Yes money remittances mean buying and selling bitcoin. But that's what I need it for in this case.



^ THANK YOU

I need the receiver in Pakistan to be able to receive the money in their own currency.

To do this, a bank-wire from Wells Fargo bank costs me $45.
Western Union and MoneyGram charge fees as well, and require tons of paperwork to be provided.

Are there any good, reliable and honest Bitcoin exchanges in Pakistan that will convert to their currency?

I have an actual need for remittances using bitcoin if this is possible. This is supposed to be one of bitcoin's great uses. Can I do it?

There is a Class Action Lawsuit against BFL. If you are a BFL customer or have been in the past, you can submit your information to Wood Law Firm's Class Action Lawsuit on Butterfly Labs below.

(There is a form at the bottom of the page)

I filled it out and I ask all Monarch customers do the same. Please provide factual information including correspondence and information on refused refunds.



Additionally, I posted the below message on BFL Forums but it was deleted within hours of my posting. I want to spread this information because it shows dates and estimates given that have been severely missed, with links to each reference:

Attention Lawyers & BFL Customers. Here is a very good argument for a Class Action lawsuit against BFL (Butterfly Labs) for incredibly late Monarch development, refused refunds and misleading grossly inaccurate estimated target dates.

This is due to extremely late Monarch development and refusal of customer refunds. Links to supporting evidence below, as well as estimated delivery dates which were not kept and estimates and impressions given customers which turned out to be completely false.

Also, please up-vote it on reddit so it gets more attention (and hopefully a lawyer's):

Perhaps we can get something accomplished.
