International Bitcoin Exchange -- www.intbx.com (http://www.intbx.com)

We are pleased to announce a new platform for trading Bitcoins, based in Sydney. The exchange is currently in its final stage of internal testing, and will soon be open to the public.

Our most prominent feature is an options market, which is fully integrated and operates just like our regular exchanges. Short positions will be fully escrowed; this guarantees that contracts can be trusted even in the face of exorbitant price shifts. It is our view that this is the best way to encourage the liquidity of Bitcoins without risking an inability to pay out.

Additionally, we'll be offering a fee structure that rewards liquidity providers. There will be a bonus for offers that tighten the spread.

When we enter our public testing phase, we'll post an announcement here and on our mailing list. Meanwhile, we welcome any feedback you might have.

Congrats, but I think it is pretty bad policy to advertise the site before you have actually launched it. Hope we will be able to actually test it soon.

where is " about us" section on your website. I cannot find it.

best wishes for your adventure.

It would be nice to see that you're actually operating under the name you claim to be:

Particularly in view of the recent Worldbitcoinexchange fiasco.

Thanks for the feedback.

There will be a more comprehensive site when beta testing begins, including an About Us section.


ABN added to the footer.

I'm not sure what exactly that search is supposed to return, and I'm surprised nothing comes up. Here's what I did find:

Australian Business Registry: http://www.abr.business.gov.au/SearchByAbn.aspx?SearchText=84151583532 (http://www.abr.business.gov.au/SearchByAbn.aspx?SearchText=84151583532)

ASIC Names index: http://www.search.asic.gov.au/cgi-bin/gns030c?juris=9&hdtext=ACN&srchsrc=1&acn=151583532 (http://www.search.asic.gov.au/cgi-bin/gns030c?juris=9&hdtext=ACN&srchsrc=1&acn=151583532)

That is nice to see :)

Interesting - one suggestion to gain interest from Aussies would be to support fee free bank-to-bank AUD deposits/withdrawals (for at least people using bank accounts from one of the "big four".)

cash walk-ins in sydney would be cool too :D not that i can walk that far.

Congrats, just signed up and looking forward to checking it out.
