San Francisco, CA - Tradehill, the first American Bitcoin Exchange, relaunched
today.
...
It's a pleasant surprise to see you guys back!
I have to take exception in two ways to this statement. My understanding was that ~weex's thing was the first American exchange. Also, I signed up for Tradehill-I back in the day because I thought it was Chilean.

For newer readers: When Tradehill shut down I had somewhere in the $1500 range USD in my account...waiting for a drop under $2/BTC which never came...yet. Tradehill dutifully cut me a check in a timely manner with no fuss and no BS about needing to send additional documentation. I decided that if the opportunity came along again I would do business with them, and am delighted that I may be able to do so.
