Re: Isn't Mtgox multiple currency trading kind of a sham?

The announcement on september the 2nd seems like vapour.
It says mtgox "will introduce fifteen new currency markets"   but when??  next year??

I don't see any new feature or change on the trading interface regarding different currency markets and in fact they have *removed* all reference to depositing via Australian dollars.

A nebulous press release about adding more trading features some time...  and then removing an international deposit method without any explanation???

That's a pretty shabby effort.

EDIT: oh.. I see in 'register a new account' there are other currencies.  
gee.. Do you think maybe they could tell existing customers that?  FFS.  Roll Eyes

So now what.. I have to create a new account? Will my yubikey still work?  Do I just transfer my balance?

So many questions.. and no explanation to existing customers. WTF sort of feature release was that?!

Further EDIT:
So I can change my main currency in 'settings'.  There is a confusing post on support.mtgox.com about multi-currency and how to change wallet currency.
Seriously unimpressed with how this was handled.
Can I create a wallet in a currency without depositing new funds?  This just raises more questions.
