Are you in the UK? I'm guessing not if a location's that far away unless you're a lighthouse keeper.
I assume they'll be hitting the rest of the world pretty rapidly after. I've no idea why they chose Britain though.

Nope, US. Although to be fair, there aren't any bitcoin ATMs at all around here. It's cool though, coinbase takes care of me when I can't find a local contact to trade with.

If people can withdraw USD from MtGOX, then what is maintaining the 20% spread between them and all other exchanges? Arbitrage traders should be hogging the place...

They seem to have been a bit quiet about the US. Maybe there are more regulations to untangle than other places. They would need a money transmission license in each state they wished to service customers. Most states require a "surety bond" as a condition of licensure. For example, in my home state they would have to put down $300,000 in addition to any processing and legal fees. Some estimates put this cost at about $20 million to be able to service all 50 states. No wonder there is no competition in the banking sector....

Yes, I can see why that would be a small obstacle.

Maybe because so under serviced at the moment? And you're right, nowhere in the UK is 5-6 hours away from a shop or bank, you could travel half the length of the country in that time.

I think we're going to see some serious action after the 31st. Anyone else get that feeling?

They should make things clearer and possibly set precedents.
