Hey, I actually just heard about CurrencyFair today (through the article I posted), and was surprised it didn't have a lot of news coverage thus far.

As a marketplace, reaching a critical number of users must be something to look forward to, even though I'd understand if you wanted to expand to select markets first (the article says 37% of your current users are in the UK, and 20% in Australia).

Hey Pioul - we noticed the traffic from your article ... thank you for that :)

<marketing speak>We're at quite a large size already, having put > .5bn sterling through our system by now</marketing speak>, but more users is always a good thing!

Sure, we have a large user base in the UK and Australia, but really, those users are international - they're not all from those countries, and that's completely ignoring all of the European users we have ... so critical-mass is something we've pretty much already hit.

[edit: spelling]

I meant the article I shared on HN, I didn't write it – so props to its author!

Ah, sorry, some confusion there. Another blog post today pushed a good few new users to our site earlier.

Now I'm just getting excited for no good reason ;)
