@pascal257 - he's right, just tried it from Google South Africa. I've also never visited their site. To the point, though, BitcoinBourse is endemic of a long string of failures and garbage "businesses". Nearly a year ago I tried Markus' Bitcoin "debit card". Here is my review: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=213832.msg2705402#msg2705402It basically consists of a TransCash debit card with massive limits on it, and then you "buy coupons" on the site and they load the EUR into the card for you. It's not automated, it's not seamless, and they aren't even issuing the cards. You can confirm it is the same outfit by checking the whois data on thebitcoincard.co.uk and bitcointocard.com. Fast forward to now. The website (thebitcoincard.co.uk) has been suspended for non-payment and is about to expire, so anyone who actually bought a debit card from them is now stuck with no way to reload it. He's probably in very deep water for issuing cards to non-Europeans (I'm in South Africa, after all). And yet for this complete non-entity that works poorly (if at all) and may be contravening the agreements they have with TransCash, they're asking for 675 Bitcoin in "investment". OP: nobody is "working with the forum moderators" or anything quite so conspiratorial. Rather, I would say that if it has a provably unsettling history a principle applies - "if it looks like a scamduck, swims like a scamduck, and quacks like a scamduck, then it's a scamduck." |

Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

I agree with your points, and I'm not pushing the company at all. All funds are being withdrawn as soon as they come into the service. However if people want to use it that is fine, I would prefer it if they use XCP. I'm just making it easy for investors. Had I only issued with them, I would agree there is a serious issue. On a positive note, the hard drives have arrived today, and (I believe) the raid card. Also have the funds to purchase some more necessities from a small number of sales there. |

First update posted. Nothing too essential, just showing off the first batch of hardware that has arrived thanks to funds raised so far. https://www.mimex.co.uk/wp/?p=11 |

What is the opinion here with regards to alt-coins. The current plan is to have a select few available to trade, at the moment the only one planned is doge.
What do you think about this? (Of course all dividend payments will be in BTC)

I'd like to see Namecoin if possible and also Litecoin. These would appeal to me at this time. |

We are approximately 2BTC of funding away until we triple the sell price. We have raised all the capital we need for stage one (hardware acquisition). The next round will be for software completion, and security audits. After that of course we will be launching, and sell some more as a cushion.

XCP? In page you have write memorycoin? is that really good to accept? Doge is good because there can get little free marketing. |

Memorycoin seems like one of the most interesting coins and I find it strange it is not bigger. Doge isn't because of publicity, its because of the community. I'm not accepting Litecoin, Quark etc because they are pushed as the next bitcoin, which is ridiculous |

Good news.
We now only need to raise £3,500 to complete software development (make the already produced system pretty) thanks to our third party developers (no, not Indian) asking for an almost all share payment.
Reduced the price back down to 0.008btc per share.

New information about benefits to investors.
Those who buy 1BTC+ shares will not get any fees, those who have a single share (non fractional) will get 50% less fees.
