A little surprised you didnt mention the other countries, but how about Slovanian economy crashing at any moment?


Euro based and i guess im a little nostalgic about bitcoin24.

Lemme think, what was it that Dwolla made news with recently? Right, frozen accounts...
But thats irrelevant for the search for the perfect exchange, because im Euro based.
Anyway what i was trying to convey in my initial post is that unfortunately Gox is the lesser evil out of all those services.

btce = no way to get your money in or out + russia
bitstamp = slovenia
btcchina = see btce
dwolla = really???

otoh doing business in those countries sounds better than in the us atm

Europe for example?
And can you give us some details on the "Sliding Scale"?

What alternative is there?

Thx for the input, but back ot:

Does anybody know what they consider "large"?
Anything above 100?

As i already said they dont have any accounts in the US.
Their bank is based in Slovenia and owned by an Italian holding.

No idea about the pseudo coin, but Bitstamp is not located in the US nor is its bank.

Its not as bad as a month ago with 20k requests pending. Last i heard its being processed within 24h by now.

But this doesnt make any sense, if they would be short of anything, it should be Fiat, considering the recent development.

Yeah, big for them. They will just plunder and pillage BTC and leave the remains to rot, like they always do.

As i understand it Bitstamp processes large withdrawals manually.
It took 7h yesterday for the transfer to just being initiated.

Does anybody know what they consider "large"?

I wasnt referring to that case specifically, but since you mention it:
They closed the account in Germany for suspicion of fraud instantly. Poland followed suit without inspection as soon as the request from Germany arrived too.
Now if accounts can be closed that easily in separate countries, with their own bylaws and jurisdictions, for suspected fraud, imagine what the freakin DHS can do on whatever charges they dream up.

Edit: Im having difficulties understanding your edit, are you saying its not so hard afterall?

In Europe, which prides itself for its liberty and democracy, accounts are closed across borders as simple as pushing a button.
Lets not kid ourselves, once a certain "threat level" is reached or big brother asks for a favor, every country throws their principles overboard.

I am also having a very hard time believing in the cluelessness of MtGox, they are somehow always involved, but are the last to learn about it.

Makes perfect sense.
Unfortunately i this hypothetical scenario Gox would get their share out and the 75kk would be the customers cash.

In the recent BTC24 case fiat accounts were frozen in Germany instantlly and in Poland a day later, when the request from Germany arrived.

What are the chances of the money and bitcoins being frozen until this is settled?
