Who are you?

Why should we trust you to hold our money?

Are the other posters in this thread your sock-puppets?

Why is there no contact information on your website?

Who is this "we" you keep mentioning on your website? Is this run by a team of people or just one guy hiding in his parents' basement?

Are you in the WoT?

How do we know your website is secure?

Do you have money-transmitting licenses from the governments of the areas in which you operate?

Who ARE you???

These are fair questions. I will go back to our board and ask them what information we can divulge.

In the interim, I can tell you this so far: We are funded by some private high profile investors in Australia.

There was extensive business planning performed from SWOT to exit strategy. Our risk assessment analysis was quite detailed.

During the planning stage, we engaged international taxation lawyers and corporate advisors in each of the jurisdictions we were assessing for potential trade. Part of our due diligence process involved officially contacting the relevant government bodies in each country we are operating in, outlining our business plan to them and asking what their stance was on licensing. Some countries treat us simply as merchants. Others require licensing or at least an application to be lodged. Others like the USA are more stringent.

This is why we have rolled out in some countries but not in others. We are timing our spot type exchange release for around the time periods these licenses manifest. Or at least, the majority of them.

Our board possesses a great deal of commercial experience. There is a lawyer, an accountant, a very high profile marketing guru and all of the major shareholders own highly successful businesses.

As for WoT, we did not feel it relevant to our size of business however we recognize its importance to smaller traders. Our market research has indicated that the average person will not use WoT.

One of our major goals is to bring BTC to the masses. Our marketing campaign will reflect that. Believe me when I say that our branding is going to be prominent in the mainstream market's collective mind when thinking of BTC and virtual currency.

Our reputation will become self evident quite quickly. We wont let you down and know that to do so will have far reaching ramifications for us.

We recognize the importance of looking after all of you and will do so to the best of our ability.

We will be joining the BitCoin foundation this week.

I welcome all of your questions and will answer them where I feel we are not offering anything commercial in confidence or giving a competitor an advantage.
