Why can't we just get the exchanges to follow SEC regulations? Is it too much money to create a website like that for the amount of traffic/transactions it receives?
go ahead, we're all waiting! Smiley

Do we actually have any evidence that the SEC was putting pressure on the BTC exchanges?

Yes, IF you're willing to spend tens of millions of dollars and dealing with years of paperwork and litigation.

More exchange speculation
So opinions on bitfunder shutting down and how it affects AM liquidity
well, seeing as how US residents could not purchase AM on that exchange for some time now, I think the prices on BF already reflected the reduced liquidity.  And in reality, I think most people knew BF was shutting down when they made the US customer policy. The AM PT on BF was having issues anyway.

I think folks are expecting a decentralized solution to the exchange fiasco, but that may not come for a while.  So, it's direct share or HL for now, and I think most people will choose direct shares for the security they represent.

I'm guessing that this weeks dividends will be abysmal. Who knows what will it do to the share price... I only hold the direct shares though so I'm not so worried about the short-term share price, I'm more interested in if Friedcat could confirm that what the chinese girl said on the video is true.
If I were Friedcat and what that chinese girl said was made up (she has many followers in the Chinese bitcoin community), I would certainly stand out to clarify. But if what she said was true, then I don't think it is necessary (at least not so urgent) to confirm it. But of course, I am not friedcat and he may have different view.

What else is safe to invest in
this is not meant as shameless advertising (i missed PreIPO and really regret it),
but i read a lot of good stuff about moneero. (https://moneero.com/web/)
i hope they will IPO during the next half year or so.
Their concept looks very promising to push bitcoin adaption and have the virgin southamerican market as their playground.
online wallets, ATMs, Transfer via SMS, Exchange, they're planning the full package.

A few listings on Havelock seem quite solid (KCIM, HIM, to name the two off the top of my head).

So what's your take? AM is one of the last safe harbors now. Wink
well, they offer direct shares, so that's a plus.

What is this cube and where are the specs?  Or is it just some blades taped together in a square?

It's probably something like that. Judging from the hashing power, it should be 3 blades. Hopefully properly set up in a box and with some cooling solution. It'd pretty sweet if it wasn't for the insane difficulty of the network.

So Havelock has become a real exchange, one less prone to an immediate shutdown in my opinion thoughts?
And yes it applies to AM speculation as it means we are a bit less worried about overall stability of shares on this exchange and our shutdown concerns.
