Hey guys,
We've been interviewing bitcoin exchange sites over the last few weeks. The list includes MtGox, Coinbase, Bitcoin-central, Bitfloor, BitInstant, and more. In a few lucky opportunities, I even have gotten to speak to owners in person. This was all in the hopes of creating a reliable place to find out what you'd want to know when buying bitcoins.
What I learned in the process is:
* Rates vary a lot! So do limits. Buying bitcoins reliably is still hard.
* Bitcoin businesses are booming. Bitcoin-central had a very positive affect on the USD->BTC price.
* Most businesses aren't certified... yet.
* Support is still spotty, but there are actually reputable places to buy and sell bitcoins.
Like #bitcoin-otc, we are trying to establish who the awesome businesses that are out there. You can now sign up, and rate + review these businesses.
