BlockTrades adds support for Ether (direct from exchanges also)

[dannotestein]

Ok, I've replied to subreddit:

On the BlockTrades website (blocktrades.us), you can send to an ether address without needing to send a memo (this allows you to send from exchanges). But in the current version of the BitShares webwallet, you also need to include a memo that tells what BitShares account to credit the OPEN.ETH to.

The next version of the webwallet will function the same as the BlockTrades website (you will be able to send to a unique address without a memo).

Please contact BlockTrades via the contact info at their website with more info about your transaction.

An update on this: it looks like the webwallet detected that we have support for ETH now and started showing it on the BlockTrades bridge, but the webwallet doesn't know it needs to use the new API until it's updated. We're going to temporarily disable purchasing BTS with ETH on BlockTrades until the release of the new webwallet tomorrow.

For anyone who did send ETH to purchase BTS using the blocktrades bridge in the webwallet, please contact dan_at_blocktrades.us with information about your ETH trx to receive a refund.

BlockTrades (http://blocktrades.us) supports buying and selling Ether with the following cryptocurrencies:
BitShares, BitCoin, Dash, Doge, Litecoin, Nubits, and Peercoin.

We also support sending to an Ethereum address without requiring a memo, so you can directly purchase cryptocurrencies from an exchanged-based account where you have Ether deposited without having to first send it to an Ethereum wallet.
