AML/KYC

Anti-money-laundering regulations would be my guess.  Big Brother wants to keep tabs...

I do not have any real idea if that BTC in NYC now will let you buy BTC w/out ID.  When I saw that, I emptied ALL the cash in my wallet to buy BTC!  Then I went to a regular ATM to get some cash for the rest of my visit.

Having a truly private way of buying & selling BTC (barring scam operations) would seem to be a gold mine for whoever can pull that off.

But, I am also interested in other ideas of services that our community would like to see.

Well, I'm currently developing Navette - prepaid Bitcoins
You can buy these prepaid bitcoin topup cards and cash them out to Bitcoins on the Navette site Smiley

Well for me yes!  I would like to have a service that would allow buying and selling of BTC in a more anonymous way.  I understand that to a degree that localbitcoins can provide such an option (of meeting a local and doing a cash deal).

But, I would like to see a better service, as localbitcoins (in my city anyway) just does not work well.  Too many of those posting are never around...

I was in NYC a year and a half (or so) ago.  I found a BTC ATM that sold for cash, but with not requiring ID!  My city has just ONE "BTM", but requires a driver's license scan.

So, I would like to see a clever way (I understand it would be difficult) way of buying/selling BTC in a more anonymous way.

What other services would you folks like to see?  

More services likely would mean more acceptance of BTC!

Why would a teller machine require a driver's license scan??
