Topic: Hello! New Bitcoin Exchange in town - page 4. (Read 6418 times)

1) We're Ryan and Stormy Schreiber. A husband and wife Couple. For more information about us you can see our CV's at http://www.workstopia.tk

2) We're located in Albuquerque, New Mexico

3) Our company is a spinoff of Workstopia LLC. It's a sole proprietorship that I am currently in the process of registering in Delaware (My registered agent is taking forever to respond, unfortunately. It's just a matter of waiting a few days at this point). In the mean time I am running this as an individual person and not behind an LLC.

4) The inspiration and motivation to create this service stemmed from our own experience in frustration at having to jump through all kinds of elaborate hoops just to buy and sell bitcoins. We have developed an interest in the e-currency phenomenon.  Originally, this was just a personal, intellectual interest, but seeing an area that has been neglected (using credit cards to purchase e-currencies), we decided to make an effort to fill that gap. I did a huge amount of research on why no one is accepting PayPal or CreditCards and felt like I could mitigate the risk through a combination of manual verification, paranoia-level order denial, and a stiff charge back policy for legitimate users who submit fraudulent charge backs or disputes.

5) Please see #3

7) The LLC is registration is in Delaware, though it's an e-commerce site which services anyone with an internet connection.

Can we dismiss#6, Yankee, for I'm pretty busy this time of year and need to limit my reading?

I have a few questions:

1. Who are you guys?

2. Where are you located

3. History of the company and any predecessor companies.

4. Why are you in this business?

5. Certificate of incorporation and amendments thereto

6. Bylaws and amendments thereto

7. List of jurisdictions in which qualified to do business or otherwise operating within

Thanks

Charlie

I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong here besides trying to offer a service to help new people purchase their first bitcoin. I understand your hesitance as PayPal has a bad rep with the Bitcoin community and usually no one is willing to take the risk of offering them as a payment method. I'm starting to get the feeling that a lack of transparency, even for security reasons, is frowned upon here.

The reason I changed the post is because I didn't want to reveal too much about security as it could possibly open up a potential avenue for exploitation if someone did manage to compromise the website. Since it is now already up in another quote here is a rehash of what it said:

No customer information or BTC is stored on the server. All customer orders is encrypted with my public key and sent to [email protected]. No payment information is taken on the website as it redirects to the respective payment processor's site for that.

I do appreciate all the suggestions about the domain name, SSL, and whois privacy. Which is why I have moved it to a .net, am implementing SSL as we speak, and removed whois protection. But it seems other than that you all are just trolling. I figured proponents of Bitcoin would like as many competitive services as possible. I'm taking a risk to help people and hopefully make a little money. What's the problem there?

If you guys dislike the site or anything about it please feel free to not use my service. Other than that can we keep feedback to constructive criticism?

Thanks.

Yeah, changed your post pretty quick there.

Thanks. Brainfart on my part 

We're not Reddit. 

It's shared hosting. the FTP server and mail server are on the IP as well. I'm removing Domain privacy now.

WhoisGuard and 8 ports open. Everyone should use with caution.

-- PM me if you want me to help fix that.

This sounds like a great business plan. Any chance that you're selling shares to your company?

The move to quickbitcoins.net has been completed and the site is back up. It looks like it will be another 24 hours until the SSL certificate is in place. If you're uncomfortable sending your request over the web please feel free to contact us at [email protected] with your phone number so we can call you to get the details that way.


Thanks!

I dont. FYI the site is currently down while we move the website to quickbitcoins.net and implement SSL. It should be back up by the end of today.

Hey, Ryan, do you go by another user name on this forum?

I basically know that eventually, if my site gets big, PayPal will eventually crack down on me. I'm hoping to get in as much as possible with paypal before that happens. In the mean time I am currently setting up another credit card processor, Authorize.net.

All I can say without revealing too much is that I have multiple layers of verification that will keep the fraud rate well below PayPal's 3% requirement.

I just bought quickbitcoins.net and it will be up in a few seconds.

The FAQ thing has been fixed. Please reload the page and try again.

FYI, your FAQ has a bunch of codes. Eg. "[/dropdown_box][dropdown_box expand_text=" buyer?" show_more="Q). "
