Latest announcement from Bitfinex today : https://www.bitfinex.com/posts

April 20, 2017

This update is further to our announcements on April 13, 2017, and April 17, 2017, with respect to inflows and outflows of customer fiat funds to and from Bitfinex.

Bitfinex, unfortunately, continues to experience temporary delays in the processing of outbound fiat wires. We are developing alternative channels to address these delays, but this takes time. We appreciate the patience and loyalty demonstrated by our customers and the community in this matter. We were advised by our banks that we would be able to process outbound wires in HKD and CHF, and while we were able to successfully process several such transactions, we are now being told that the moratorium is being extended to these currencies, as well. Domestic transfers in all currencies within Taiwan, however, are working with no problems or delays.

Bitfinex is not alone in the bitcoin community in confronting challenges presented by correspondent banks; other exchanges in the digital currency ecosystem are also being affected. However, we are no longer in a position where we can wait for our existing banking partners to provide viable solutions. Accordingly, we are taking steps to work with our attorneys to ensure they are able to satisfy any requests and claims from customers. We are confident that this short-term solution will allow us to meet our fiat obligations to customers. However, it will likely be a one-time option per customer for USD withdrawals. It is not an ongoing solution to the correspondent banking problem and customers should be advised that they will be required to provide an appropriate acknowledgment of payment for claims in order to receive their fiat funds. Nonetheless, we believe it is important to build this solution for the immediate needs of our customers. This is also taking some time, and we will report back on our progress as soon as we are able.

We want to be absolutely clear here that Bitfinex is solvent. We have assets that exceed all user balances. We also want to emphasize that digital token trading is not affected on Bitfinex. We are developing facilities for different currencies, but in the interim, customers are welcome to trade and to undertake financing on Bitfinex and to deposit and withdraw smoothly using the available suite of digital tokens.
We want to apologize again for this continuing inconvenience, and to assure our customers that we are doing everything to get back to normal operations. We thank you for your ongoing patience.

More Bitcoin Exchanges Fall Victim to Banking Problems : https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-exchanges-victim-banking-problems/

Following Bitfinex’s announcement to disable fiat deposits, more bitcoin exchanges are having the same issue. The other trading platforms have also disabled incoming USD wire transfers, citing bank account and “intermediary bank” problems.

But why the sudden change? what do these services have in common ?

They all have accounts of the 8 Taiwan Mega banks. (per wire origin from users)
Taiwan AML and banking reforms.
This is an evolving story. Taiwan has been a banking mess for years but in the last few years they wished to be a world bank center and fintech startup incubator. So as a country, they have been attempting to go through these reforms to meeting this goal. Many crypto currencies exchanges/services and MSBs choose to bank in Taiwan because they have more lax compliance/AML/KYC requirements then some banks but enough to meet the agreement in the US Banks. However, USA has changed these requirements recently at a Fed level. If you like USD you must comply.

This just shows there is no escaping the compliance/AML/KYC requirements around fiat gateways.

DASH/BTC TECHNICAL ANALYSIS APRIL 21 2017 - Dash Force News

Beginning in early February, the price of DASH entered a powerful upward trend, culminating in a price of .124. The price then fell to .085 and rebounded back to .118, forming a textbook double-top. The double-top was confirmed once the price moved below .085, and eventually it fell as low as .0345.

WBB dev's new V5 wallet (and rebrand) about to drop working somehow with 1ex.trade will help solve such issues.  Ppl will love it.

MEET THE DASH MMA FIGHTER DAVIS DOS SANTOS

Dash Force News would like to thank Davis for taking the time to talk and answer our questions.

Davis Dos Santos is an MMA fighter based in Montreal, Canada. Davis is originally from Aracaju Sergipe, Brazil but has been living and training in Montreal for the last 10 years.

I first heard the name Davis Dos Santos about this time last month via the Dash Brazil community. The level of excitement and rumours of Dash sponsoring an MMA fighter were impossible to ignore. After contacting a few prominent members of the Dash Brazil community to confirm the legitimacy of the rumours I was informed that the Dash Brazil community had worked together to organize and crowd fund sponsorship for the then upcoming Davis Dos Santos fight which took place on April 7th.

Awesome. Love the Dash mouthguard and Dash shorts graphic idea.

Excellent and very hard questions for marketing professionals. Please come and brainstorming about that!

https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/target-early-adopters.14492/

I agree.


First:
I think we should sponsor, events of this type:

https://www.dashcentral.org/p/PLAY-AWARDS-DASH

Last year´s event went trending topic on twitter with more than 73 MILLION impressions.
YouTube viewers.

We got approximately 10 million views distributed in the different YouTube stars channels, and 500K in our own channel (even thought many other channels copy our signal and re-publish in live time) This year we have partnered with Spanish biggest TV broadcaster, and they will get the signal aswell in their digital platform called Flooxer.

Millenials people.

Second:

Japan begin recognizing bitcoin as a legal method of payment, Dash is better.
We should do more actions oriented to Japan.

Do we have an update on the play awards?

We/Dash Force News are going to start focusing more on China as that is a weak point for Dash in general. I will also add Japan to that list, we will start doing professional translations soon as the google translator app is not the best.

China no. Japan.

Japan, is very important Bitcoin/cryptocurrencies are legals, as a legal method of payment. Dast must have first position, before Litecoin (China coin).
We must sponsor mainstream events in Japan.
It is a great opportunity to grow, with own funds.

Dash sponsor at Consensus 2017.

I think that's the way & roadmap. Sponsor, marketing.

The ShakePay card is one of the early adopters in a growing field of directly Dash-enabled debit cards. It’s a streamlined, simple card that works surprisingly well for how basic it looks.
