Wait, it isn't frozen though...right? It's just being shut down in a few days....

So we're good.... yeah?

Love me some Bitfloor. Sad

The account was frozen but folks can still ACH back to their personal bank accounts. Roman will have to find a new bank and a new fiat funding route; I think he only had CapitalOne360 Person2Person and cash deposit.

But seriously, bitfloor was the only place where I could easily buy coins, I could put cash in and have it online in 30 minutes, with a total charge of 2%
That was too good to be true. Now I have to use crappy moneygram (that takes 10% total fee to load the dollars) or wire money (and wait 3-5 days)

This shows how easily banks can fight back against bitcoin, making adoption more difficult.

1) Check out CampBX, you can mail USPS money orders and they are credited within a day after being received. USPS money orders cost ~$1.35 and a first class stamp costs forty something cents.
2) If banks didn't do stuff like this, nobody would be interested in bitcoin. Don't let the banksters win Wink

Real businesses get chargebacks and they file through the claim process. Real businesses do not get paypal frozen if they had opened the account properly and gave truthful information on what they are doing.

Lol. Minor Miner is going to have a nice surprise when he reads the rest of the thread with the people who owned real businesses and were scammed by PayPal. Minor Miner needs to lurk a little more, PayPal is one of the most fraudulent money-transfer corporations in existence. Google "paypal fraud." They freeze accounts left and right for absolutely no reason - downright scamsters.
I remember reading about a woman who sold pantyhose and other womens-fashion-related items and was completely upfront about what she sold, was a "real business," registered, etc. After a year of flawless service they froze her funds and her account, citing "violation of TOS by selling sexual merchandise." I looked on her website, it was nothing sexual at all, simply what you'd see on a website that sells womens' clothes and accessories. It took her months to get her funds back, there were thousands of dollars tied up.
The internet is full of PayPal horror stories! Get your head out of your ass dude! "Real businesses" lol. You been schooled! Sent back to school! The school of "what banksters do in the real world to 'real businesses'" Grin

a division of the "school of hard knocks"
