Bitfinex has no access to banking so there is no USD, only imaginary dollars, aka USDT (tether)

Follow @bitfinexed on twitter for all the gory details.

Get used to trading alts in BTC, it’s worth it. bittrex is good for this.

Thanks genjix - these updates are very much appreciated.

Just a quick question - would you have any objection to users making cash deposits at bank branches? I could understand you objecting to this (although there is nothing to stop people trying anyway) just in case the reference number was not captured/entered correctly by the teller at the time of deposit.

If BritCoin opt to operate out of the UK, they will be bound by the UK Money Laundering Regulations: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2007/2157/regulation/20/made

That typically makes it impractical to accept funds by "anonymous" donations, else you risk an early morning wake up: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/jan/05/police-smash-london-drug-gangster-syndicate

"the nearby Euro Foreign Exchange, through which up to £1m a day in drug money would be laundered"

With luck, you'll qualify as a small EMI, as described here: http://www.fsa.gov.uk/Pages/About/What/International/emoney/faqs/index.shtml

Hi genjix!

Please could you confirm your FSA registration before I make a deposit?

I work in a bank, so can't risk trading unless everything is above board.

Please see: http://www.fsa.gov.uk/pages/Doing/Do/index.shtml
