One of popular exchanges - https://bitcoin-24.com - had their money that they stored in a polish bank seized by authorities, so I would be careful with saying that Poland is a "bitcoin friendly jurisdiction". It's only as friendly as the authorities don't know what you are doing, but if they notice you, you can easily fall into trouble.

I would suggest that you check possibilities for setting up your business in Germany, as they recently recognized Bitcoin officially, and there are some successful businesses that are operating from there.

I think the largest polish BTC exchange is bitcurex.com, try to ask them, I think they're familiar with legal regulations.

In Poland are not established rgulations for bitcoin at all : mining and trading, eschanging, so from tax point of viev You can become target for goverment tax institution. I try to mine under my own company but now body knows for what and how to pay the taxes ( I would pay VAT tax to get back taxes from may spendings). So I decide mine as a private person and I will show the earnigs in yearly tax declaration.

We're developing a high speed bitcoin exchange, but the regulations in our country are hostile to our business. We've noticed that both bitcoin-24.com and mtgox had bank accounts in Poland, so we think that maybe Poland is a bitcoin friendly jurisdiction.

We're looking for help/advice and maybe collaboration to start the business there.

anyone? Smiley
