firefop- We have never said that there are not other ways to accomplish similar things to the services we offer, but none that offer our range of services (with more to come) and integrate them in such a simple, convenient and accessible manner. We do things differently, and in many ways we do things far better, and we are trying to make Bitcoin accessible to the masses, while preserving the anonymity and security which make Bitcoin what it is - and I think we are succeeding!
Anyone who cares to examine what we have done can see that a lot of really intensive work has gone into creating The Bank of Bitcoin; not exactly the hallmark of a scam. Also, even if it was true that we were simply duplicating the services of others (which is certainly not what we are doing) your post is sort of like someone going into Burger King and shouting "This place is a scam, because there is a McDonald's down the street!"
Come now, you don't offer a single service that someone couldn't provide for themselves if they just did a little reading or used existing services. My whole point is where is the service level that would ever allow you to make any money off the venture? It simply isn't there. You're offering nothing new or even 'slightly better' than what already exists. This just screams 'long con' to me.
All that aside... you seem to be stuck on trying to provide services that are anathema to the generally accepted goals of bitcoin.
