Title: The New Ubitex
Post by: cuddlefish on June 16, 2011, 05:26:22 AM
    Today, Ubitex finished a major overhaul that's been ongoing for quite a while.
     
    The old Ubitex was clunky, buggy, and easy to exploit (Just click Fill on all the orders, now they're gone!) The new Ubitex fixes major complaints and issues.
     
    Before, Ubitex had barely any support interface. Now, Ubitex has a UserVoice widget on every page; just click to report a bug, get help, or suggest an idea.
     
    Until now, Ubitex had no SSL. Anyone could change Bitcoin addresses going out over the wire. After today, Ubitex is exclusively SSL.
     
    You can also change your email address now, a feature which I understand many users wanted.
     
    Previously, when the filler clicked fill, the order was sealed, with no changes. Going forward, the seller can choose from a list of interested fillers.
     
    With the new Ubitex, each order has a unique URL; you can see one in my signature on this forum. There, you can see details of the order, comment on it, or request to fill it. The seller can also tweet the URL with one click, and choose which filler he wants to use based on rating and distance.
     
    As we have only just begun to attract new clients, it will probably be hard to find users near you unless you live in a dense urban area. For this reason, we recommend putting your order URL in your forum signature, along with your rough location. For bigger orders, you may want to post on the forum about your order. For smaller orders, you might want to tweet your URL, since many people's followers are geographically close.
     
    Thank you for being patient.
    I've put a lot of work into this update. I hope you like it.
     
    Sincerely,
    Nate Theis (cuddlefish), CEO/COO, Ubitex.

Do you have plans to let people set expiration times for their orders? Given the volatility of the market, it seems that would be a good idea.

Great idea. Could you put it in UserVoice (http://ubitex.uservoice.com)?

There's also https://ubitex.uservoice.com/forums/118971-general/suggestions/1924765-have-dynamic-exchange-rates which will help a lot.

just signed up with ubitex, super nervous about actually meeting someone in person to buy bitcoin!  How is that supposed to work?  Show up with cash and my laptop, meet somewhere with wireless access?

That or a smart phone. Whatever works for you and your trade partner.
