> They had Nigeria as a supported country. But they removed it ...

I am a Nigerian and I consider this an unpardonable failure of basic market research. If they had spent a quality hour of their time investigating the Nigerian market, they would have found out that inflow overwhelmingly dwarfs outflow.

Makes you wonder what their decision making methodology is



When there's a consistent imbalance, I wonder if instead of trading it themselves, they could queue up requests. People who really wanted the cheap rate would wait days or weeks or whatever it took to reach the head of the queue, while others would drop out so it keeps moving.

That's a very good idea.


Great idea. Maybe they could go one step further, and automatically lower prices until someone does buy them out. They could call it something cool... something that reminds you of places where you can buy and sell things... :p


I guess I won't be able to send large amounts of cash to a Nigerian prince who promised me a share of his inheritance anymore.

I'm not even sure if he's a prince.
