Hi I'm Luke4652,

I've been following bitcoin on and off for 18 months and have spent a total of a few days reading/thinking about it.

I'm a London based technical co-founder of a niche financial software company. More recently I've been working on some scalable/highly available data distribution software infrastructure in an investment bank (going through roles as developer/lead/group software architect). The global finance industry is in need of some disruption.

I'm interested in the business opportunities surrounding properly solid and legitimate exchanges or similar. I have, like others, been surprised by the awkwardness of buying bitcoin for GBP.

cheers
