Congrats on the new site
Why I think that localbitcoins.com is better is because your site lacks price signaling - it is the very basic need for functional market.
Other than that, it might well be that people are not that interested in trading bitcoins with cash, after all. But we will probably see about that in the future.
Thanks! The price signals are there - they are just not public. Price is negotiated directly between the parties. Just like the prices for outlawed drugs. They are not posted publicly but price is still communicated throughout the market with every transaction. With that said, general market prices for reference are also available at
BitcoinWatch.com and other sites. We'll soon post the current exchange rates from the major exchanges on the site for convenience though.
When banksters and statists step up their attacks on bitcoin by locking users out of the banking system (which they've already started), the demand for local cash transactions will rise. It is not a matter of "if" but only a matter of "when".
That is why it is so important for people to develop their local trading networks now. Don't become dependent on the banking system for your bitcoin trades. When you trade cash for bitcoin - you are trading cash for cash - one is digital and one is physical.
Money in a bank is simply a promissory note from the bank stating they will pay it back to you when you demand it (hence the term "demand deposits"). We all know how good banks and central planners are at keeping their promises! I prefer to have cash in hand over money in the bank. I think many Greeks, Argentines, Zimbabweans and everybody else who's lived through a national bankruptcy or hyperinflation would agree with me.
