More to the point, you shouldn't be efforting to comply with any such shit
law.  You should be migrating off your web-based platform and doing what

bitcoin/bitcoin, OpenBazaar, Mastercoin's decentralized exchange, recently
launched.

Well there is the USA.  And China.
But then you have TISA, are you going to comply with that too?
