note the shift of hashing dominance to Europe.
the US is being deprecated:
And with exchanges as well. Kraken, based out of California, does not do any USD trading [Update: They just launched XBT/USD trading], and instead operates an XBT/EUR market. Bitcoin-Central.net (France) just re-opened, they had been a major exchange before and likely will see a high volume of XBT/EUR trading activity now that they are back. BiTSTAMP (Slovenia), rivals Mt. Gox and exceeds them on some days. BTC-E, accepts SEPA transfers, I believe. |

US regulators please take note. Money, like electricity and water, follows the path of least resistance.

Unfortunately the overall number of nodes is decreasing because of the ever growing blockchain size. So less and less people can afford to run the bitcoin-qt and being a full node. Hopefully this will change with further bitcoin-qt version when blockchain size solutions will be implemented. |

I haven't tried it, but if it works that could be a solution I guess. |

There is something other than SPV as well, but don't hold your breath, it may not be till next year earliest. |

I'm not all that surprised, when it comes to technology, especially payment solutions, the US has always been antiquated and lagged Europe and Asia.

You spoke a few hours too soon. Kraken just added USD trading this morning! US regulators please take note. Money, like electricity and water, follows the path of least resistance.
Agree completely. The states are driving businesses, convenience, choice away from the US, in the name of consumer protection, of course. We'll see how long the federal government will tolerate a loosening grasp on the industry as it moves abroad. |

the fact that Kraken has added USD trading is a huge sign.
they have been so compulsive about complying with regulations that this means they got some positive signals/approval back from regulators to encourage them to do this.

Well, the situation in the US is still a mess.. there are very few states we can actually offer national currency trading in. Right now, the ability to trade USD will benefit people outside the US more than inside. |
