Title: Bitparking Terracoin Exchange [closed] Post by: doublec on January 21, 2013, 09:35:45 AM See my message here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137718.msg1747256#msg1747256) for details on the closing of the exchange:
Quote Recent events have shown that running an exchange is way to risky and stressful to me in the current alt coin climate. Prices have risen to a point where I'm not comfortable I can provide a reasonable level of service. To this end I'm closing the exchange and encourage all users to move to vircurex. The following details are on the exchange site: Quote 2013-04-05: The Bitparking exchange is closing down. I've decided the risk involved in dealing with the current high prices for the alt coins has moved from the 'fun hobby' level the exchange originally started with and requires a more serious approach to operation. I've been in contact with the Vircurex exchange and I encourage all existing customers to move their funds and continue trading their. The exchange will close trading Friday 5 April 2013 22:00 and new deposit addresses will not be able to be created. Trading operations will also be disabled. Withdrawals will be available for a few days after that at which point the exchange will close and all funds sent to their emergency withdrawal address. Withdrawal fees are removed during this period. Thanks for using the exchange and enjoy a better and more professional experience at Vircurex.

Title: Re: Bitparking Terracoin Exchange Post by: doublec on January 21, 2013, 10:16:14 AM That is cool, but I don't feel like letting dataminers and profilers at Google / Yahoo / OpenID know I'm using the exchange. You can use an anonymous open id provider or host your own if that's an issue. But that aside, that's fine, I understand your point of view. I prefer not handling passwords on the exchange.Title: Re: Bitparking Terracoin Exchange Post by: crazy_rabbit on January 21, 2013, 12:17:42 PM fantastic! Thank you very cool!
Title: Re: Bitparking Terracoin Exchange Post by: hanzac on January 21, 2013, 12:50:12 PM Very interesting, simple interface. But why these exchanges are independent, is there any way share the balances across these bitparking exchanges? Otherwise, it is needed to transfer them by using the network and it's slow.

I can imagine it's safer this way. But, I guess it would be nice to move your BTC around. Title: Re: Bitparking Terracoin Exchange Post by: crazy_rabbit on January 21, 2013, 05:38:09 PM Question: I signed up/in using Open ID by clicking the "google" button and choosing one of my google accounts to login. Now, after I have been logged out, how do I log back in? To sign up all I did was click my google account, I never received an OpenID identifier. What do I need to do to log back in?

Is my username my gmail address? (for example) or something else?

When you clicked the "sign up" button it should have taken you to a page to select your login method (Google, Yahoo, OpenID) once you have selected a login method, you will be prompted for a username and TRC/BTC withdrawal addresses... Your login is whatever name you've selected at this point... Title: Re: Bitparking Terracoin Exchange Post by: conspirosphere.tk on January 21, 2013, 07:39:23 PM I'd like to trade Namecoins for Terracoins.
Any plan about it? Title: Re: Bitparking Terracoin Exchange Post by: c4n10 on January 21, 2013, 07:50:30 PM Also, the amounts in the "sell orders" column seem a little screwy...

The column on the right is a cumulative sum. It shows the total of all TRC up to the given price (ie. all rows above it).Title: Re: Bitparking Terracoin Exchange Post by: c4n10 on January 21, 2013, 10:09:25 PM Also, the amounts in the "sell orders" column seem a little screwy...

So. the bottom number represents the total volume then... Good to know, thank you... =) Title: Re: Bitparking Terracoin Exchange Post by: doublec on January 21, 2013, 10:59:55 PM Ahhhhhh, I see...

Right, it was the easiest way of showing total exchange volume for various price points.Title: Re: Bitparking Terracoin Exchange Post by: doublec on January 21, 2013, 11:02:06 PM Very interesting, simple interface.

Out of curiosity- why use separate (and different) addresses for BTC and TRC when you generate deposit addresses? The private key will be the same, so wouldn't it be easier to just generate it once? Also, users don't have to worry then about sending the wrong coin to the wrong address, as their TRC will always end up in their TRC account and vic versa.

The exchange is based on existing code for other alt currency exchanges which don't have the same addresses formats. It's a good idea for a future update though, I hadn't considered that now that there is private key import/export features in the RPC API.Title: Re: Bitparking Terracoin Exchange Post by: crazy_rabbit on February 01, 2013, 10:44:07 PM Out of curiosity- why use separate (and different) addresses for BTC and TRC when you generate deposit addresses?

We really appreciate it. :-) Title: Re: Bitparking Terracoin Exchange Post by: Walter Rothbard on February 04, 2013, 07:42:29 PM I signed up for an account on this exchange Friday and made no deposits. Today trying to log in with the same Google ID, it doesn't seem to recognize me and wants me to sign up all over again (with emergency withdrawal addresses, etc). Do the accounts get pruned if they are not used within a certain period?

Make sure you put in your user id in the box next to the "Log In" button and click that. Your user id is the one you selected when signing up initially.

(I'm an idiot. :) ) Title: Re: Bitparking Terracoin Exchange Post by: Walter Rothbard on March 11, 2013, 05:40:13 AM I'm getting errors trying to access the exchange; it was working a couple of hours ago.
Tried the litecoin bitparking exchange, and it was down as well. Title: Re: Bitparking Terracoin Exchange Post by: doublec on March 11, 2013, 05:45:53 AM All the bitparking exchanges are down for a bitcoind upgrade to 0.8.0. This is taking a few hours to redo the blockchain. It should be up in an hour or so based on progress so far.
Title: Re: Bitparking Terracoin Exchange Post by: Walter Rothbard on March 11, 2013, 05:54:43 AM Thanks for the update!
Title: Re: Bitparking Terracoin Exchange Post by: crazy_rabbit on March 11, 2013, 06:11:23 AM Gotcha!
Title: Re: Bitparking Terracoin Exchange Post by: doublec on March 11, 2013, 06:14:29 AM Exchanges are back up now.
Title: Re: Bitparking Terracoin Exchange Post by: doublec on March 28, 2013, 11:51:12 PM Exchange is down while I do the mandatory terracoin version upgrade (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=159951.0).
Edit: Exchange upgraded and operating again. Title: Re: Bitparking Terracoin Exchange Post by: doublec on April 05, 2013, 09:13:41 AM Recent events have shown that running an exchange is way to risky and stressful to me in the current alt coin climate. Prices have risen to a point where I'm not comfortable I can provide a reasonable level of service. To this end I'm closing the exchange and encourage all users to move to vircurex (https://vircurex.com). The following details are on the exchange site:
