Minimum Effort/Maximum effect
of course no one is worried, we have plan Bitcoin in place, maybe they are just cracking down on regulation, maybe not, but there is still 11 million coins left to be mined.

more than enough to run the world economy, they've revealed their play, but there is still a long way to go before the end of the game.

when will the p2p exchange be built? It is already here, and there are still plenty of other exchanges that are still out of their reach; they are going to end up with a Gutenberg press problem, the more they fight it, the more they spread it.

They shut down Bitcoin, but LiteCoin is waiting in the wings with a lot of eager proteges in tow, will they be able to stop them?

You are a geek if you are too early to the party!
I live in Euro-land and I've had exactly ZERO problems with decent exchanges like bitstamp.net and bitcoin.de.
(and I used to trade on intersango.com as well but they're too small now, no significant volume going on anymore)

So yeah mate, I think you're looking in the wrong place Smiley

Why the hell would you go for a Russian exchange, having to deal with utter crap like OKPay, if there are plenty alternatives.

Well?  Where would you suggest?

Both bitstamp.net and bitcoin.de have their fair share of critics, and their prices do seem very high.

I also still need to transfer my sterling into something else before I can use them, so I am no better off!

Besides, I trust BTC-e far more than I do any of the other names in the exchange universe at the moment.

Because it is second largest to MtGox.

BTC-e have just switched on their OKPAY service again for a few days, to allow people to move their cash into their exchange, before they switch off the service for another 2 months.

We are seeing all the various financial services throughout the world getting their cogs spun up to make the movement of fiat to a bitcoin exchange so difficult that without already having your cash in the exchange, you can't take advantage of any movements in value.  If you do want to move your fiat into bitcoins the whole process is taking longer and longer - last time it took me 2 weeks.

I don't expect US users to note how difficult it is for the rest of the world, but at this rate its going to be impossible to get enough bitcoins / altcoins into the mainstream to gain enough traction to make any success happen.

Anyone else having this problem, or am I just looking in the wrong place? - BTW, I really don't like MTGox, I don't trust them, and to only use that service to get your bitcoins seems to defeat to object of having them!
