Thanks for the info myax.

I smell FUD.  No one knows what the China government will do in the future, but to date what you said is NOT true .... BTC china is still actively trading.  They have "temporarily suspended" buying bitcoin from banks in RMB.  The official statement from btcchina website (below) says they will provide alternative funding methods.

Provide a source for the claim that btcchina will shutdown by end of January?  This directly contradicts what the CEO of btcchina has said so far.  I live in china, trade on btcchina, and read all the news about bitcoin, including Chinese forums.

Regardless, the big Chinese players (eager to avoid capital controls and stash their pile of money) will always prefer local or OTC transactions, to avoid bank scrutiny.   The local option will just be more lucrative for traders like me 

Here is the official statement (and my translation):

FACTS:   Bitcoin China will be closed within 30 days.

Just exactly where does it say that they are closing in 30 days?

CIYAM, I said that .  I am the source  )

I came here with the news that BTC China will be down and here it is. It's down.

You said that I am bringing FUD while I told you that I am saying the truth and that you will see in 2-3 days.

Now, 2 days has passed and all I said was true. Next time, believe my words.

Do you want me to tell you who will be the next Bitcoin exchanger who will close its business?

Stay cool, it won't be before February. It's enough BTC china for now.

So two things we can gather:

1) There is no "source" to your FUD and

2) You are wrong as btcchina is NOT down at all.

Even someone claiming it will rain every day will be right "some of the time".

For someone who claims they have no interest in BTC at all why are you so *keen* to keep pitching this "information"?

Seems that there a technical problem with bank wires but some exchanges are solving it.

payment processors are automatic and funds in the moment.  Bankwire has a delay of 24hours, and some  exchanges dont have yet the structure to process manually (but can solve it!) anyway two of the big chinese exchanges are currently accepting new diposits

So, btcchina if not get another payment processor, needs to creat a working team to process bank transfers...

Btcchina has just announced on Wednesday that they was forced to stop accepting yuan-based deposits.
