any informations, why it's not available in germany anymore?

They say due to regulatory reasons so basically some people who are supported by men with guns want their cut and if they don't get it then they scare localbc away...

as a german citizen I'd be really interested those 'issues'.

I don't see how it's different from what bitcoin.de does (mediate deals between private individuals).

Wether the individuals would have to register with the bafin (banking regulator) or have to pay taxes and which ones is up to those individuals in my view.

Oooooh but it is.
At least according to BaFin.

With bitcoin.de, every user is only a participant on a market (which is bitcoin.de) with regulated money flow (via SEPA).
On Localbitcoins, every user is their own market with unregulate money flow (cash).

Small semantic difference, HUGE MOTHERFUCKING LEGAL difference.

I see. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
