Hi,
The thread speaks for itself.
Apologies if others feel I am ostracising them.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

I'm from the UK (and always happy to buy BTC by UK bank transfer or cheque, at a few percent above the highest MtGox bid).

Cool! That's a few people, but few enough!
Maybe we should set up an exchange for GBP orders of BitCoin.
What goods and services to the British folk offer?
Also, with inspiration from Nefario's idea, if we organise ourselves into networks we world-wide, we can provide currency exchanges throughout the globe! No need to go through rip-off foreign exchangers when you go on holiday!

We need an Exchange dealing in £££s. At the moment we seem to only have people who want to buy, so an exchange won't help much. I've done a few private transactions with other UK bitcoiners in the past, with good results. I'm currently buying BTC at 20% above MtGox rates, for payment in GBP, if anyone is interested. The time, hassles and risk of going via LRUSD or using cash-in-the-mail exchanges makes the 20% difference worth it for me. |

Hi,
I'm in Switzerland partnering up with btcex.com
I can add a GBP account for deposits and withdrawals.
Would there be an interest in that? My fees to add a currency are reasonable and would do it if there is an interest.
Cheers,

I think, as mentioned before, the problem is that most of the British people are wanting to buy BTC instead of sell it. This alone makes the demand higher.
Glad to know others are out there with the same problem.
As for an exchange, since MTGox is already very well established, it doesn't matter what exchange people use, it is going to be roughly around that price, and so the UK prices will be 'pegged' to the BTC price in dollars.
Did BitCoin explode in America significantly before anywhere else in the worlds? It just seems that most of the guys who have BitCoins are in America, the First Miners.

According to the country poll, The Americans made up 1/3 of the population. |

I'm in the process of setting up a UK exchange, so no worries. Fees will be very low.
Should be opened within 10-15 days.

This will be very welcome to Londoners such as myself. |
