 ... there's the rub. You got Big Brother's money and then you got bitcoin. .... BB's money costs too much.

CurrencyFair is a perfectly legit method of converting and moving cash between any major currencies/countries, so what’s the problem assuming the cash is not from illegal sources?

I used http://www.ukforex.co.uk - they offer minimally better rate now, but charge about 7GBP for the transfer it it is less then 3000GBP.

Well that seems promising to. Ideally one of these companies would take Bitcoin as one of its traded currencies but the Bitcoin seller sending direct to the buyer.

Did CurrencyFair ever respond I wonder? I have spoken to their IT Director in the past, perhaps I should ring him back and ask him.

You've got nothing to fear, if you've got nothing to hide ..... ?

The problem is, it's a sucky statist attitude .... no ID, no ticky, we may as well live in communist China, Soviet Socialist Russia or Nazi Germany.
