I find it odd that there is no mention of the fact that EUR withdrawals are not yet possible. Support ticket was answered with:

"The withdraw functionnality is about to be deployed very soon. You will be notified as soon as it becomes available. Thanks very much for your patience."

I would have preferred to know this in advance, and not find out about it by trying to withdraw.

The delay is unexpected as it is not entirely dependent on bitcoin-central but also on the integration with its banking partner. However I grant you that the communication on the matter could have been better.

Heh. "It's always easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission.", we say. This would hardly be the first communications 'failure' from either Bitcoin-Central or from almost anyone else trying to run a business in the Bitcoin ecosystem for that matter.

I've learned to expect the absolute worst-case scenario when operating in Bitcoin-land. If some business leaves any aspects of their operation nebulous, you can bet that it is purposeful.

In fairness though, it's not like Bitcoin related ventures have a monopoly on sliminess. The kind of penny-ante shit pulled by giant mega-corporations (like my cell phone provider Verizon) is stunning.
