What funding options do you accept from UK people? (With only a Barclays bank account and no way to verify residence according to all the documents that are acceptable for such a task on Mt.Gox (university))

Bank wire, about to accept Ukash, unlike some other exchanges, if we're unable to verify your account (if applicable) we send the funds back to the bank account they came from (ie. we don't ~~steal~~ indefinitely freeze them)

I would pay more to put my dollars into an insured account. I don't really like or trust the FDIC though so would prefer a privately created insurance. But FDIC (or whatever national equivalent, if the exchange is overseas) insurance for my dollar balance would be better than nothing.

I would pay more if my bitcoin deposits were insured against hack/theft, too.

It doesn't have to be insurance, a surety bond deposited with some mainstream institution that I trust would be sufficient. ANYTHING, so I had some idea that I would get at least some of my money back if the exchange got hacked in the time between depositing cash or bitcoins and withdrawing bitcoins or cash.

That makes sense and is a legitimate concern, if you're going to jump through the KYC loops, you might as well want to have your deposits insured along the way
