Topic: What is Swiftcoin? (Read 4837 times)
Their NZ phone number is a Skype purchased "online number" based on the first few digits (889 xxxx comes from Skype) so they could be anywhere in the world.
So I've no clue what they are up to. New Zealand sure pops up a lot around here.
NZ is popular for setting up shell companies for some reason. The fact their company address is a mail forwarding business seems to point that way. Their business address isn't far from where I am. If I went to the building and looked do you think I'd see what they show in their company photo's, or just a shell company plaque?If they have offices and aren't using them, why not invite your friends over and have a little party? Or move in for a while. No one would know and it would make for a great blog

I got an e-mail from them asking me, if I remember correctly, if I was interested in working on their wiki. With all the spammers using the leaked MtGox e-mail list from June 2011 I got a quick trigger finger for the delete key, but I remember it being from BNAK / Swiftcoin.
So apparently it is a real company.
They got a trademark for SwiftCoin here:

From their business registration:
- http://www.business.govt.nz/companies/app/ui/pages/companies/3473593/documents
Is the director's name. And from there, Google pulls his LinkedIn and shows owner for 20 years of a mailbox and mail/parcel forwarding service business in the UK.

[Edit:
They've been accepting Bitcoin for over a year now, apparently:

Though apparently there were some stumbles early on. And hasn't logged in since 2011:

Yes, I discovered Swiftcoin after exploring FNIB from the trade wiki. From what I could find, it seems to be a private variant of Bitcoin based on promises with none of the openly verifiable benefits.
The FNIB service may be worth a try, but I wouldn't touch Swiftcoin; buyer beware.

Meh, prone to failure. It's not open source, and it's not backed by any government.
