The '2nd' Bitcoin Exchange service, ommited from the bitcoin 'history books' ...

... snip ...

The "complete" Bitcoin history book websites do not list my own (manual exchange service) despite presence on bitcointalk, which I set-up after having conversations with NewLibertyStandard. It ran on a free web host and domain service - which did not matter as it only functioned as a point of contact for manual exchanges. The service was established before BitcoinMarket .com .

N.B. I no longer control or have access to any BitcoinFX @ email addresses !

Unfortunately, my website did not mention "Cryptocurrency" either. Only my forum posts.

I closed the service down, honouring all transfers and/or reimbursement's etc., and went back to trading retail forex until 2013. The closure of Liberty Reserve - cost me a lot of money, money I would of moved back into Bitcoin. That was the point of myself spending those interim years trading retail forex. I mostly traded XAG/USD and XAU/USD with good profits - having balances effectively 'confiscated'. Due to other factors and unforeseen personal circumstances, I've been getting back on my feet, so to speak, ever since. I will add that I never used Bitcoin or LR for anything 'illegal' - forex brokers used to accept LR and I also received some advertising revenues etc.,

No related transactions here - This link is simply to demonstrate how early Bitcoin enthusiasts just participated in what needed to be done.

No employer, no payroll, just community volunteerism and altruism. Big 'economic cost' for most early adopters.
