Topic: Intersango Exchange - page 2. (Read 82129 times)
I think there ought to be a warning on the page where people create sell orders in GBP. This is where such information would be most relevant IMHO.
if you look at the ammount of buisness / traders are on Intersango right now, id have to say its pretty much dead in the water.
there`s like 5 "big" sell orders in euro. think ppl are catching on and running for the hills

After the issues that the Intersango team has been responsible for, I can hardly believe there are even that many orders. I can't think of anyone who'd trust these guys with a millibit.
ruuuuuuun foooooooreeeeeeeesst! ruuuuuuuun!
Wish I could honestly and I wonder why they didn't simply disable trading via GBP.There is a HUGE warning on the accounts index which is the first page you see after logging in.
Why does Intersango lists the "International fees" and UK bank transfer page as still being active while "desposits" seem inactive!!! I still stand by what I say until someone from Intersango rectifies MY situation.

Fuccckkkk,If I had known about the issues concerning the exchange I wouldn't have sold for GBP.The last time I was here in the early part of the year it seemed pretty much a legitimate exchange.The excuse that one cannot withdraw or transfer GBP is complete BS and makes it look very scammish! Well,I guess I've gotten my coal for Christmas...thanks Intersango!

Dude, better take your losses and run as fast as possible to the exit with your Bitcoins before the whole thing comes down....

You can emphasize what you want but facts remain facts.
Bitstamp is located within the EU zone and you can transfer big amounts of money (USD in 5 figures numbers) there and especially withdraw thousands of BTC in one order without telling them who you are.
This is the relative freedom I'm talking about.
Nowhere else this is allowed.
Not in MtGox or any other website I'm aware of ( please also consider the trustability of them, I wouldn't touch some of them with a 10foot pole).
I hope this helps to make my statement clear
Well, I don't argue that, I'm arguing that they aren't compliant with the European regulations. I'm also arguing that you seem quite clueless about said regulations.Bitstamp is located within the EU zone and you can transfer big amounts of money (USD in 5 figures numbers) there and especially withdraw thousands of BTC in one order without telling them who you are.

Hopefully you won't complain when their bank wakes up, freezes their account and makes it extremely hard for everyone to withdraw their fiat-denominated funds.
This is likely more true than anybody wants to believe.
I believe the banks are rapidly waking up to what bitcoins mean to them.
yepp, less moneh in there pocket!
im waiting for them to come running with pitchforks and burn us at the stake

Europe is actually much less regulated than the US, therefore less hassle with identification, KYC, etc. etc.

You need to get your fact straights.Let's analyze facts:
Bitstamp vs MtGox ----> Less limitations about moving funds and BTC's in and out of the account = less hassle
----> Lower fees
----> On average lower rate BTC/USD compared to MtGox
----> Much more professional customer service, prompt answering and precise follow up
I bet Bitstamp will grow bigger in the future, probably getting 30% of the market within the end of 2013.
Mark my words
The facts that Intersango:
1) raised the withrawal fee to 10 euros
2) don't accept new signups
mean that they want to close down eventually. Couple that with many posts of people switching from Intersango to other exchanges.

At Bitstamp all trades are made in USD, I'm currently located in Europe but I believe it wont make much difference if you are in the States as Europe is actually much less regulated than the US, therefore less hassle with identification, KYC, etc. etc.
MtGox is in Japan anyway....

So far Bitstamp seems to be a very good compromise:
