well you can always go to https://localbitcoins.com/instant-bitcoins/And select the city you live in, and maybe there are people near your area who you can meet to buy bitcoins. Or you open your own australian exhange, to sell people bitcoins easier then the other websites in your country!

Do you object to providing detailed personal information to a well-known company? BTC Markets verifies your identity through greenID; BTC Markets never even sees the information you provide to greenID.

I think OP is trying to say its hard to get mass adoption because it's so hard to buy BTC. I agree with him. In the US it's such a pain to buy for the average joe. They are used to something simple like schwab or Ameritrust or you call your broker and they buy whatever you tell them to do.

Surely you need to share some degree of personal info with BTC-E or the companies it associates with in order to load your account with funds. I personally bought on Bittylicious and Localbitcoins. Everything was surprisingly smooth.

BTC Markets verifies your identity through greenID; BTC Markets never even sees the information you provide to greenID. Yeah but without registraion as a Money Service Business in the USA and each and every of he 48 states requiring such registration, that service will be useless for USA citizens.

It feels like applying for a loan when in fact I would be the one depositing money. I don't blame your company though if these are the KYC/AML regulations that you're required to follow.

Hello,
Thankyou for your response. Can you give me an example of such an exchange that would give me a sort of franchise or some other deal where we market them locally. It would be much better than setting up our own exchanges.

See http://bitcoinatmmap.com/ Shows two ATMs in Australia if you zoom in. In Melbourne and Dunning. Work for btc (lots of jobs) Make a website with (bitcoin) ads. Faucets (gets you some btc, but mostly waste of time) Meet people on a bitcoin conference, trade there. http://www.btcconference.com.au/
