I see what you mean.
It looks like access to "gateways" is still "coming soon"

I wish that the media frenzy would die down, or else governments will be trying even harder to shut down or "regulate" BTC, ala Napster. 

Time will tell if they start some new battles...but I believe BTC will survive.

Thank you for this forum topic.

Thanks for the info - That helps me feel better too.

Agreed.  That makes me nervous.   I hope that they develop one soon.

Yes, please.  I only wanted to post to the Ripple offer topic.

Thanks, in advance.

What are the graduation requirements?

Any advice for a newbie trying Ripple?

Thanks, in advance.
