Dwolla going on 6 days now

Initiated a transfer to mtgox on the 3rd back when coins were under 15... now they are at nearly 30 and i still don't have the transfer complete.  FML

Ugh. I'm still waiting for Dwolla to complete the transfer FROM my bank account TO Dwolla. If it takes them another week to get the money to MtGox I'm gonna go on a shooting rampage. (Or bitch and moan impotently. 50:50 imo.)

...which makes me wonder if exchanges and online payment processors have a legitimate place in bitcoin.  there are ways around this- like buying an amazon.com giftcard and selling it to a fellow user here.  so much for "know your customer" and sucking up to the IRS/CIA/politicians.  as the network grows liquidity does as well- which is the reason to have exchanges in the first place.

what is to stop a forum member with a merchant account from selling bitcoins via credit card/debit card?

This is insane! Every delay highlights how bitcoin (and p2p in general) can contribute to creating a truly transparent and fluid economy.

the "float" makes banks very rich.  remember this when bitcoin operators start doing it because they most certainly will.
