Bitcoin Forum

Dear members of BitcoinTalk

I have been hired by a young startup to conduct research on behalf of a new Bitcoin exchange that is in development.

I am currently seeking feedback from the Bitcoin community, and wish to create a small focus group whereby I can better understand the wants and needs of the people who will be using the service.

Could any interested parties please either reply to this thread, or send me a PM and I will get in touch with you once I have a more solid plan for holding this focus group.

In advance, thank you all very much, and I apologise if I have posted this in the wrong board - moderators, you are welcome to smite me to your hearts' content.

I'm willing to provide you with some guidance:

1)   do your homework, look at what worked and what didn't work.  A great example of both is wrapped in, Mintpal.  When Mintpal started they were great, when they make a simple error they got ripped apart, and after Moolah  got them it turned into a scam.

2)   security, don't worry about speed, be more concerned with safety.  Create 100% cold storage, make sure that your numbers are correct, have redundancy, checks and balances, as well as a back-up.  

3)    if your security is tight seek bonding, insurance, and or other forms of third party coverage

4)    be responsive respond to all emails within 4 hrs, resolve or escalate all problems within 24 hrs

5)    be in compliance, get registered, licensed, and certified by all that you can

6)    partner with other entities to build a responsible network of resources

7)    if you are asking for people to place their money in your hands, show them, and tell them, who you are so they know who to blame or praise as the site develops

and

8)    become a PICISI sponsor, PICISI is also a new startup, and is seeking an official exchange sponsor
