Title: R.I.P. Bitfloor! :'(
Post by: skitzo on April 17, 2013, 10:53 pm
Damnit man! I finally got BTC's an easy way and I just like 10mins ago took out $2000+ to go and deposit it via Bitfloor tomorrow. WTF?!?!?!

Bitfloor is gone :((((  Where can I deposit cash via bank and get bitcoin so quickly and anonymously as Bitfloor allowed?!?!

I am sorry to announce that due to circumstances outside of our control BitFloor must cease all trading operations indefinitely. Unfortunately, our US bank account is scheduled to be closed and we can no longer provide the same level of USD deposits and withdrawals as we have in the past. As such, I have made the decision to halt operations and return all funds.

Over the next days we will be working with all clients to ensure that everyone receives their funds. Please be patient as we process your request.

Just saw this myself. I was planning on making a long-awaited purchase tomorrow too! Looks like it's back to Bitinstant...according to their blog, they seem to have gotten their shit together.

try BitMe.  Basically the same thing except they use Chase.  The only thing is you usually end up paying a few extra dollars per btc then the mtgox rate but not by too much.

Suspending Operations

BitMe is suspending operations indefinitely. The website will remain up until April 15.

Great thanks to all of our customers!

The Feds must be attacking these exchanges.

http://bitmex.tumblr.com/ is hosted on a  east coast data center .  Same data center the hosts part of NYSE Euronext backups.  Make your own decisions .

i think i'll just keep getting my bitcoins from the guy standing outside of the local wal-mart.
he stands in front of the newspaper vending machine and he always has a starbucks cappucino.
oh....he also wears a nike ball cap  :)


Hope this helps  :)


Peace,

Hey ChemCat ,
Love the sarcasm .  Find a vendor outside the eastern block and outside CONUS and then transfer your currency into bitcoins . Then you should be golden .

Yea this is one of many exchanges that have recently had their bank accounts frozen due to AML/KYC regulations. The only exchanges that are safe are ones that are based out of laxer financial countries. I use Bitstamp as it is out of Slovenia, and they frankly don't give a fuck what their accounts are used for.

Chipper you are correct .  Slovenia and Hungary are two of a few spots who are in the gray for now .
