Hey guys,

Nice design, good work Smiley! Today I was checking it out and got a couple of "Bad gateway (nginx)" just thought I let you know.

Thanks Roberto!

Ya, we had a few servers we were updating so sometimes it showed down, but our backups were always running!

That still wouldn't allow you to say as you please without consequences. Even if libel was decriminalised you could still be taken to court for civil damages.
You can be taken to court for practically anything. Whether it holds up or not is another question.

I don't know in what jurisdiction you live, but in my country, this man has every right to say abso-fucking-lutely whatever he wants.

Which country is that. I want to move there. I hate libel laws and I want to escape from them.

It looks like there's a possible scam on the new website:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/solved-problem-with-bitinstant-overcharging-75194

Have you actually reported this to bitinstant?

 o if the answer is NO, then you have absolutely no right to call scam. You can warn people that there is an error occuring, and that you have informed bitinstant and are awaiting a reply, but to call scam is the height of stupidity.

 o if the answer is YES, and they responded negatively, then you have cause to call SCAM, but you don't mention this in your post, in fact you don't say whether you have contacted them at all.

Learn the difference between SCAM and ERROR.

The thread you linked to is authored by you, don't you think that was worth mentioning?

On the list!

+1. UKash would be great.. you can buy UKash vouchers at most corner stores in the UK - so it'd be like the cash deposit via a bank, except it's a cash deposit via your local corner store instead (open late, weekends, etc).

There's also absolutely no requirement to show ID. You hand over the cash and the corner store guy hands you a receipt with a code on it.

I guess the fees are probably a bit higher than the bank cash deposit thing but I think it would be a pretty robust solution, I'm surprised that none of the exchanges seem to take it yet.

You might also want to look at contracting directly with http://www.epayworldwide.co.uk/ and/or http://www.paypoint.co.uk/. These are the companies that operate the payment terminals in the corner stores that facilitate voucher sales (such as UKash, but there are actually lots of them - you could setup a bitinstant voucher on the paypoint/epay terminals and cut out the ukash middleman - but it would probably still be good to have ukash since they're already setup and in other countries as well).

Thanks!

We're working with a big cash provider in the UK that will encompass all cash deposit methods, not just uKash

We've been looking into paypoint for a long time now as it's a service I commonly use myself. Currently, this is scheduled for later this year but we're trying to push it to come sooner.

Will you guys ever accept ukash for payment?  That would be a big deal for me personally.. :-D

We're always investigating new payment methods, I believe that ukash in fact may already be on the list (it's a BIG list) but will double check that for you and add it if not.

Logo looks really nice and site looks good, well done.

But,

  • I get a lot of "400 Bad Request Request Header Or Cookie Too Large", e.g. when clicking FAQ
  • I don't like the "page in page" so that I get a separate inner scrollbar, e.g. on the Rates and Fees page. It's much easier to get an overview if the full page height is used.

The 400 error has just been fixed, thanks for reporting it.

As for the page in page design - i'll talk to our designer about expanding the page, but believe me that the site as it is now is the result of a LOT of work, we found that using this kind of frame-like effect was generally much more aesthetically pleasing. That FAQ will also be updated soon as we're moving away from the earlier design which used a lot of light humour in a similar style to sites such as nearlyfreespeech.net and others.
