not viable in the US? wasn't it a bit-pay clone? i thought they were doing okay.

Honestly, I don't think that there are many people buying things with bitcoins. These services charge a relatively small fee so they need more than just a handful of transactions per day to make it worth it.

well yeah, but what expenses would they have had? if it's a one-man programming show, all it takes is $0.?? in hosting fees and a supply of caffeine.


BitBid runs on crack.

I wanted to notify all customers (bot is still sending out emails) before making a public announcement. I'll make an official post, once everyone is properly notified. Until then, please hold your horses.

... stating "BTCinch is simply not a viable business in the US.", "All customer deposits will be distributed via a third party..." and "We are working out a transition plan for Merchants, who will be emailed specifics later today".
