I am an adult - I'm 22, currently living at home while attending University. Terry Armstrong is indeed my father.

Cool beans.  I actually would have been shocked if you were just some teenager - your grammar is very good.   Cool
Heh, thank you. Smiley

Are you searching using Alta Vista?

First hit from google: http://www.duhaime.org/LegalResources/Contracts/LawArticle-651/Contracts-With-Children.aspx

I get your point about wanting assurance that a website is trustworthy, but discounting websites created by anyone 18 is the wrong filter for that.

Figuring out the right filter is a good idea though.

Nice Alta Vista reference, but I've probably been in computers longer than you.   Wink

A child under 18 cannot get a credit card, rent a VPS and become a director in a corporation, something this person would have had to do unless he was using his parent's resources and being dishonest with some terms of service.

It would be nice if Colin Armstrong would come back and tell us if he is an adult, so we could put this to rest.   But the phone number registered at that address is Terry Armstrong and that is probably his father.

The number listed in the whois is from an Indian cell phone?

Very nice looking neighborhood though, according to Google Earth.
Really? It's my cell phone.
Area code 905 is for southern Ontario, where I live.
Sweet!  I'd rather trust a Canadian than.. anyone else!

What sort of insurance does our invested bitcoins have?  If you get hacked and lose all the coins, what says we ever get paid?
There's currently no insurance. However, security is obviously a top priority, and we're doing everything we can to make the website as secure as possible to prevent getting hacked.

Nonsense.  In Canadian law, you cannot enter into an agreement with a minor.  If he is under 18 anything you are sending to him is his, and he has no legal liability to give it back.
Are you making up or have you just misread something? A minor, or anyone with diminished mental capacity,  can more easily get out of a contract if it becomes clear they were taken advantage of, but that doesn't mean you can't enter into an agreement with a minor. I'm just basing that on common sense though.

Not making it up, and I just verified.  In Canada (and the US) you need to have reached the age of majority to have competence to contract.

I asked his age because I don't think he is the owner of the house at that address - meaning he is probably living with his parents.

I believe you, I just found it odd it was listed on (several) old Indian cell phone registries.

The hardest part is reading black on a very dark brown background.
I'll definitely consider increasing brightness of the background - it does seem a bit dark.

Your page states..

"A minimal fee of 0.01 BTC gets sent to Bit-Bank to allow the continued use of our services. Other than that, our services are entirely free."

Is this a one time fee, or??
It's a fee which is applied to every withdrawal. Do you think it's a bit too much?
Sign up didn't work for me:

"The requested URL /user/index.php was not found on this server."


I already told the OP about that bug like 2 weeks ago... It seems he didn't fixed it ;P
Ah, I've just fixed that error. @psy, I looked over the code when you first told me of the problem and couldn't find anything visibly wrong with it. However, I just tried registering on a /user page, and it didn't work. Figured out it's because that page is modified by Apache's URL rewriting and this messes with the redirect I set up. The user account did get registered, it just didn't redirect you correctly.

It's great to have more of these e-wallet sites.  I like the colors and design.

Bit-Bank needs to build trust.  How do I know the site won't just run off with the funds?  I'd suggest at a minimum, contact info for the company and principals, and a pgp key.  Ideally BBB accreditation, gdcaonline.com accreditation, business registration info for whatever country it's based in.  Posts from long standing community members that they know you and can be trusted.  Optionally a bitcoin-otc.com or ebay rating.  WHOIS should not be privacy protected for this kind of business (but currently is).  Note that even with all this info, the site must build up a reputation over time. 

I should also note one of your main competitors is known for poor customer service (you know who I mean), if you do excel at responsiveness you should do well.

Thank you.
I've disabled the WHOIS guard. I'll add our contact info, PGP key and company principals in the next few days. I hope to establish a good reputation - I'm trying to be as transparent as possible in order to achieve this.
