Bitcoin7 - Official letter, following first week of operation

[sal002]

Thought I would test this out to see if the issues have been resolved.

Curious as to how instant BTC deposits are. 4 confirmations later and no registration of deposit nor any "pending" status or anything.

[aeroSpike]

So please tell us who were the people who promised 1 BTC bonus for registering at your site a couple of days ago?

[RodeoX]

Welcome Bitcoin7. 
I feel a "bit" sorry for the ignorant bashing the exchanges have taken recently. I have seen such ugliness in video game communities, but bring money (or a girl) into the mix and you have a real conflagration.

Hey guys,
Its Nick from bitcoin7.com.

This is my personal account and from now on if you have any questions, I will be more than happy to address them through pm or open discussion.

I believe the same goes for my partner Chris as well.

I also want to thank the community for the valuable feedback. No offense really taken and it really helped us to better shape our goals and strategy for our future improvement.

Cheers,
Nick

Good to hear from the guys behind the curtain, I signed up for Bitcoin7 around the time of the Mt. Gox problem and have been happy with the site and service. I also like the referral system and think it's a great way to spread the word. Keep up the good work guys, and if anyone needs a referral read the sig!

Would like to say I have used bitcoin7 for a few trades now. everything was 100% no issues. never had to speak to customer services because everything has just worked. (the way it should be)

This is all well and fine, and you're doing a great job of responding, with one exception:

Here is the first paragraph of the first email sent to me by bitcoin7:

Hello,

Would you be interested to put a topic on Bitcoin.org forum recommending www.bitcoin7.com as a better trading platform than Mtgox?
We will be happy to offer you a small bonus in BTC or USD if you do that for us plus if you are active on other communities or forums, we can go for them too.

(emphasis added... mine)

This is a pretty bad thing, I would think, and at best a very embarrassing lapse in good judgement.

I would like an official response, considering your professional response to all the other unfortunate happenings.

I just opened a test account with you and I like the interface, but I, too, am troubled by the shameless offer of btc for propaganda.

[FlipPro]

You guys have a really, really good looking site. I will be using you in the future! Please keep up the good work.  The community needs more exchangers so that all the money isn't in one pot. If we get about 100 stable exchangers the coins will be indestructible

Dwolla transfers are temporary offline. While we are solving this issue, you could add funds to your Bitcoin7, using LibertyReserve

&..

US Bank Transfer    CitiBank (US)    USD bank transfer to US bank    $15    1-3 business days

$15 to do a Bank Transfer? (edit: & Only via CitiBank?)

How do you expect me to get money to you?

I signed up for an LR account today only to realize that LR can't add funds to itself, by itself

LR relies on (yet) another separate website/service for that.

[Hellobtc]

when you will accept RON ?

[Tx2000]

Pretty much sucks for Canadians to get money into these exchanges.  Hoping CaVirtEx gets out of beta soon.

[DonnyCMU]

Good introduction. You should have done this weeks ago. However,

- Hristo Tenchev (Chris), owner of the EU entity is a Bulgarian web entrepreneur. Chris managed to build a online games company from scratch to a multinational million $ company. Chris and his team are also responsible for the software side of Bitcoin7.
- Nikola Alexandrov (Nick), owner of the US entity is also an online entrepreneur with a number of successful start-ups. Has been known for trading websites on public auctions. Has several deals on his record on flippa.com closing to a million US.

You profile sounds credible.. however, when making such claim,

Chris, please tell us the name and link of the multinational million $ company you've founded.
(I understand.. it doesn't have to be multinational or multi million $, but please give us something.)

Nick, I assume the start-ups were websites that you later sell on Flippa. Can you give links to your Flippa auctions that ended?

Thank you very much.

@Tronlet,  That's been addressed and beat to death on different threads. Please seek them out and review.

Have you ever wired anyone money before? Welcome to the real world. How many $35 international wires do I wish I could trade for $15......oh happy days.

I just opened a test account with you and I like the interface, but I, too, am troubled by the shameless offer of btc for propaganda.

major startups put out propaganda all the time, it's called advertisement and it huge chunk of change is spent on it.
A lot of banks run promotions as well that offer 50-100$ for opening a checking account.
Use to be toasters..
No affiliation with these guys just reading the thread..

[Nescio]

Calling them liars without trying their service first is a very childish thing to do. Use the system for two years without major incident, then voice your feelings.

I fixed.

[chuckypalumbo]

Any word on transferring funds via Dwolla? I'd like to use Dwolla as my primary way of getting funds to the account.

[Chris (Bitcoin7.com)]

Still nothing from Dwolla I am afraid. We hoped to clear the issue by the end of the week, it seems they won't be able to. And I am not sure if they will work through the weekend...
