 Circle’s Live

   Oh baby, baby.  All I have to say about Circle’s official public launch is that it is worth the wait.

Yep me too, from Canada!  Everything was very fluid,  only seemed to charge a CC processing fee, which amounted to less than 2%.  Appeared to be using bitstamps rates..

From their service agreement - their INTERNATIONAL service agreement, of all things:

17. Restricted Activities

Using the Services to make the following types of payments is prohibited, and Circle reserves the right to monitor for payments that relate to:

    any Restricted Persons or persons or entities located in Restricted Territories (as each term is defined in Section 29);
    weapons of any kind, including but not limited to firearms, ammunition, knives, or related accessories;
    controlled substances including but not limited to narcotics, prescription drugs, steroids, or related paraphernalia or accessories;
    gambling activities including but not limited to sports betting, casino games, horse racing, dog racing, lotteries, games of chance, sweepstakes, games of skill that may be classified as gambling (i.e. poker), or other activities that facilitate any of the foregoing;
    constitute money-laundering or terrorist financing;
    any sort of ponzi scheme, pyramid scheme, or multi-level marketing program;
    goods or services that infringe or violate any copyright, trademark, or proprietary rights under the laws of any jurisdiction otherwise constitute counterfeit goods;
    debt settlement, refinance, or credit repair services;
    court ordered payments, structured settlements, tax payments, or tax settlements;
    the sale of money orders or cashier’s checks or any unlicensed money transmitter activity;
    lottery contracts, layaway systems, or annuities;
    counterfeit goods; or

What determines the exchange rate of the coins?

I'm so sick of btc companies (like Coinbase and Circle) having no phone support, and the website lacks the most fundamental info.

Welcome to the 21st century.  Get used to no phones...

Coinbase for selling BTCs
Fold for spending BTCs
PM me with any questions on these sites/apps!  http://www.montybitcoin.com


or Vircurex for trading alt cryptocurrencies like DOGEs
CoinNinja for exploring the blockchain.

Did Gox actually use the word insured? At least Circle also confirms the name of the company that is providing the insurance.

They claimed to have a 100% reserve, which i interpret as insurance.

Yes and no. My banks have phones. My credit cards have phones.

If a company is not going to have phone support, have live chat support.

If they're going to try to save money on both of those (and even if they're not), HAVE A FRIKKING FAQ THAT IS THOROUGH.

Circle will allow one to buy btc, but it's a secret as far as what determines the exchange rate for USD to btc???

Is it possible they could spare 1 kb on their site for that info?

Just like Coinbase, it is whatever they offer you. I don't like that you have to create an account and log in to see the price though (unless I am missing something).
