I dont know what you are trying to do but you could try speaking to GigaTux, he has a registered UK business trading BTCBTCBTC so may be able to offer advise... Unless you would be competing with him  Grin
OK. I want need a bank account in the UK that my customers can send money over too, so I can sell BTC. That simple really.

What I am trying to achieve here is more though. I would like to get UK bitcoin users to start discussing our predicament and get a little better organised. As original stated I'm not asking for much. I have no problems in doing the donkey work - just I will need limited support.

My current ideas are:

  • send an open letter to a basket of MP's - asking when politicians are going to have an open debate about the subject like we have seen in other western countries.
  • put more pressure on HMRC to confirm their classification of BTC
  • start an e-democracy petition - which if recieves 100,000 signatures politicians will be forced to discuss.
  • send an open-letter to the banks from a confederation of BTC business owners, demanding explanations towards there current stance on bitcoin

These are just preliminary ideas, but it would be useful to have a group of people who don't mind signing things, forwarding emails, discussing ideas etc.
