To clarify, this means USD deposits and withdrawals are also available.
I'm not sure that is a wise decision. It's going to be already very hard to get it going with 1 currency I think.
Bitstamp choose to focus on USD only because of this, despite being European. BTC24 already had his EUR being very successful before starting USD.
There is a lot of competition for USD so why would they go to you?
For EUR there is nothing due to BTC24 clampdown. However Bitcoin-Central just opened his doors past week so hence it's going to be hard. But at least you have a chance.
I could be totally wrong, just thinking out loud.
Are you freaking kidding me?? Have you even seen the huge functionality difference between these services? All non-Kraken services look like web pages from the 90's with speed, security elements that suck big time. Kraken is a California company based in Silicon-Valley, they know technology, can attract real talent and have way more features, beautifully designed webpage and tons of trading features unimagined by other players. It's a real, professional company.
As soon as they include California, I'm saying good bye to CampBX, MtGox and other suckers outside the US.
