Does Bitcoin-Central have any plans to include their trading statistics with Bitcoincharts? If so, when is it expected to be the case?

Yes. When we're done fixing the issues with verification.

I have multiple tickets into support, never received my wire.
If that were true, you would simply PM me with your account number to try and get that resolved. Why would BC hold on to your money that is a liability in their books? The customers funds are seggregated from the company's funds by their banking partnership.

PM Sent.

They still owe me money from before!
What do you mean "from before" ? Withdraw requests have been processed all along, only trading was suspended until the new version.

Ouch. I thought everyone was re-imbursed in full.
However, I really thought that the 'come-out-of-a-crisis-stronger' theme could apply,
but my latest experiences make me doubt this.

Good luck BC.
Kent out.

I find it odd that there is no mention of the fact that EUR withdrawals are not yet possible. Support ticket was answered with:

"The withdraw functionnality is about to be deployed very soon. You will be notified as soon as it becomes available. Thanks very much for your patience."

I would have preferred to know this in advance, and not find out about it by trying to withdraw.
The delay is unexpected as it is not entirely dependent on bitcoin-central but also on the integration with its banking partner. However I grant you that the communication on the matter could have been better.

Heh.  "It's always easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission.", we say.  This would hardly be the first communications 'failure' from either Bitcoin-Central or from almost anyone else trying to run a business in the Bitcoin ecosystem for that matter.

I've learned to expect the absolute worst-case scenario when operating in Bitcoin-land.  If some business leaves any aspects of their operation nebulous, you can bet that it is purposeful.

In fairness though, it's not like Bitcoin related ventures have a monopoly on sliminess.  The kind of penny-ante shit pulled by giant mega-corporations (like my cell phone provider Verizon) is stunning.

Imho they should have stayed in a closed beta for a month,
instead taking a potentially final reputation hit. Maybe this
would still be a good choice, as long as the volume is that
low?

@Draradech: Are you already fully verified?
However, given their list of successes, they can afford minor hick-ups Smiley

- no dates listed in communication (tickets) via the web-app bitcoin-central.net
- verification not completed within 10 days - former verified account Sad

We'll have a look at the dates thing, regarding verifications you're right, 10 days is way too long, we're working with our partner to improve the speed and communication around the process.

they are a market place and not an exchange which makes the main difference to Bitcoin-central.

http://www.techienews.co.uk/971487/bitcoin-central-exchange-reopens-after-6-months-hiatus/ - that is a reason to re-open the thread.

That's right. Bitcoin-central is a bitcoin exchange marketplace where funds (euros) are deposited to a regulated payment account while bitcoin.de is what is usually referred to as an OTC marketplace.
The main difference is that whenever a trade is executed on bitcoin-central, the fiat currency balance of the seller is credited immediately with the proceeds and the bitcoins are delivered to the buyer.
Conversely, with an OTC mecanism, both the buyer and the seller must wait for the buyer's fiat currency amount to reach the seller's bank account. Meanwhile the bitcoins of the OTC seller are tied up.


Haven´t looked into this thread for a while...
I just changed exchange to trading marketplace because one complained and I was in hurry.
But seriously for me it´s an exchange you can buy with money Bitcoins and vice versa (sell btc and get money). What is not an exchange there?

Do you accept non-EU customers?
With its new Payment Institution partner, BC  can accept all residents of the 30-state European Economic Area:
Norway is missing from your list.  Switzerland is on your list, but not a member of the EEA.  Switzerland and Monaco are part of SEPA however, if that matters.
Thanks for pointing that out. I stand corrected and edited my post accordingly.
The list does not match exactly EEA because Monaco and Croatia are not in yet.
Here is the correct list of the 30 states:

 Austria
 Belgium
 Bulgaria
 Cyprus
 Czech Republic
 Denmark
 Estonia
 Finland
 France
 Germany
 Greece
 Hungary
 Ireland
 Iceland
 Italy
 Latvia
 Liechtenstein
 Lithuania
 Luxembourg
 Malta
 Netherlands
Norway
 Poland
 Portugal
 Romania
 Slovakia
 Slovenia
 Spain
 Sweden
 United Kingdom

probably been said, but bitcoin suppose to be anonymous. u can't stay anon if to register and operate on your platform ID is needed.
 I don't see this will work on big scale. bitcoin within short time will be controlled by bullies with deep pockets.


You are free to use localbitcoins to buy btc anonymously.
No one will force you to register there, and send ID.
