Thanks!
Great effort! Congratulations and best wishes.
Thanks, I just wish more people here on the forum could see it. I don't really hang out here at all. Can someone reference this in the trading area of the forum or something?

Hi All,
I rarely come on this forum, but I figured I should let you know about this. Apparently, this is the only place I could post. Tomorrow, We will be starting the first open outcry exchange for bitcoins. We are doing this in Union Square Park, NYC at 4:00pm.
The reasons behind this are many, and I hope obvious. I hope this becomes a new model for bitcoin exchange, ending reliance on single points of failure, as well as lowering barriers to entry in to bitcoin and easing financial friction resulting in a much more efficient market. I think a distributed model is most in keeping with the bitcoin ethos (act locally/connect globally).
This project addresses some things which localbitcoins.com lacks, while also addressing some major issues with the electronic exchanges.
Feel free to comment on the subreddit as well:
