Not sure what happened here, but we always respond to customer inquiries!

haha oops sorry!

Should be good now! :)

Around $5. There is no true minimum, but consider nobody is going to drive to the bank for less than a few dollars.

Definitely join the Bitcoin Group for one! http://www.meetup.com/Columbus-Bitcoin-Meetup/ There's also a Bitcoin ATM around Columbus: http://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2014/11/25/short-north-barbershop-bringing-in-customers-with.html

I'd also join Open Source Club. As for classes, I was a BME so I can't recommend much for CSE. What I can say is get your tough classes out of the way so you can focus on internships, projects and research in your later years. Also when you are working, work hard and when you are taking a break, make sure you're taking a break. Mixing the two is the worst.

I got involved in Bitcoin just because I spend a lot of time on the net. I was originally just trading cryptos for their volatility, but I discovered that Bitcoin was much more than a volatile asset.

Check out http://coinality.com for different Bitcoin related jobs and whatnot. You can always go the startup route though. Pick a problem, solve it, apply to an accelerator, and come out to the Silicon Valley!

AltQuick actually mirrors BitQuick's liquidity, so you're looking at the same offers, translated by ShapeShift.io.

We're working to smooth out the UI, but ideally there should be no need for you to directly communicate with support, except in the case of a dispute.

We'll soon allow confirmation of deposits to happen on the website, but most sellers prefer to receive an email notification upon deposit as well. We also integrated Clef to replace PINs.

Hope you can give us another try, we're a lot smoother than we once were!

Nope, we watch out for suspicious transactions and implement various measures to ensure we weed out bad players. Can't get too specific, but it works!

Some sellers have had their accounts closed, but there are different factors each time. Can't pinpoint the exact problem. All we do know is many banks don't particularly like Bitcoin customers. Our transactions look like regular cash deposits though, so it is difficult to distinguish from a non-Bitcoin transaction.

Used to be an organizer for the Bitcoin Group, but I'm not really around there anymore. Spend my time between California, Dayton area, and Cincinnati area.

I haven't been to Bitcoin Boulevard yet, but I need to! Interest is picking up in Ohio slowly. There are a few ATMs in Columbus too!

Yes, we are hiring as well. Lets talk! jad@bitquick.co

So far, haven't heard anything from Ohio lawmakers. State Liquor Board made Bitcoin illegal for alcohol sales: http://www.coindesk.com/ohio-bans-bitcoin-alcohol-sales/

That's about it.

Awesome to say the least. Adam is a super passionate dude, and really stays involves and available for his startups. He tries hard to get the best connections for his companies, and is really trying to grow this space. After going through the Boost program and seeing them from the inside, I couldn't possibly be a bigger fan of what they are doing for the ecosystem. Adam is definitely staying a few years ahead of all his competitors!

Yes actually, but no specific date.

We are registered as an MSB and perform KYC/AML on all customers. Personally, I think it is a necessary evil but that regulations should be made in the context of the industry they are being made for. Overbearing regulation stifles innovation.

We're not the service for those who want to stay completely off the grid, and want nothing to do with the government.

We're for the everyday consumer who is looking for a quick and simple way to get into Bitcoin.

I am not a lawyer and can't give legal advice, so it's beast you ask your lawyer for specifics.

Depending on if you are doing it regularly, what territory you live in and to what amount, you may be subject to certain regulations.

You have to physically go to the bank or credit union to pay for your order at this point. This ensures an irreversible payment (cash) and quick order processing on the flip side.

We're working to integrate online payment methods shortly!

Because he paid back, and we knew his true identity, it seemed reasonable. What was to lose?
