and the other half of it is that it is difficult/expensive to get USD into btc-e.

I'm not going to evaluate DealMaker's claims. And no one can out-type him and I'm not going to try.
I will, however, say that I have received consistently good service from CampBX. I'm moved a lot of USD through them via Dwolla and ACH. My coin transfers out almost always show up instantly on Blockchain. I did all their verification stuff awhile ago and I don't remember how long it took. They even raised my daily transfer limits without me even asking just by paying attention to my activities. Now that their servers aren't so slow its even better.

I'm a satisfied customer and I think they are a quality exchange.
I wish DealMaker the best in resolving his situation.

You also could use the online vendors rather then the face to face vendors at Localbitcoins.  The spread is much tighter and many of them accept a range of funding options. Use the escrow option on the site to do it. The coins are held in escrow by the Localbitcoins site itself and not the vendor. You get a message that the funds are committed to escrow and when they are the vendor can't get them back

Also with campbx, if you are sub-1000 USd a great option is to buy a money order at the post office and Priority Mail it down to them. Takes about  48 hours door to door and total cost is less than 5 bucks. CBX credits those right away.
I find that Dwolla takes a good 4 full business days to get money from the bank into dwolla. 3 days to deposit it back to my bank. Kind of slow.

Dear BTCT, Bitfunder, Mpex, icbit, et. al..... get ready for a visit from the SEC.

If it is your first ACH transfer from CampBX it might take a couple of days longer. Subsequent ones should take 3 business days. I've made several successful ACH withdrawals with them. But of course in the Bitcoin world things can change fast.

I've heard there is a Magic The Gathering Online eXchange.


Just kidding....

i got that.
one exchange already does it (campbx)
one meta exchange does it for large orders on bitstamp (bitfinex)
a new meta exchange looks like it will allow it on 3 exchanges (trucoin).
sounds good.
we'll see how it goes for them.

fyi
campbx has dark pool orders on their exchange. bitfinex has dark pool orders on their exchange and on bitstamp, but only for large (500+ coins) orders.

+1 to this idea.

I see the next bitcoin futures market idea:  trading today on the value of Gox wires "in a couple weeks"
Pennies on the dollar anyone?

I like this new service a lot. It's replaced my old quick standby Preev.com

Those interest rates were a strange blip. It didn't last long. But it was there and strange to see.

anyone else getting a certificate error when trying to connect via https right now?

Hi R,

I'm getting a bad certificate error when I try to connect via https right now.
 Here is what Firefox is saying:

www.bitfinex.com uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is only valid for the following names:
  ssl2697.cloudflare.com , *.mlpchan.net , gamefactory.jp , *.gamefactory.jp , *.mcserverlist.net , mlpchan.net , mcserverlist.net , *.mobafire.com , *.alientechnologies.ru , mobafire.com , alientechnologies.ru 

(Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)

Is it a cloudflare thing? What is with all those other domains?

great looking app. just downloaded it. great to see clark moody chart and push notifications.

The interest comes once a day. You don't have to poll continuously, just set up a script that looks at the right time. In my timezone, the deposit always comes between 8:00pm and 8:15pm.
Before the API, I had javascripts that pulled in the info and added it to my spreadsheet (a fork from Arthur's Greasemonkey script).

Cool, thanks for the explanation. and sorry for mis-filing the post. I have about 5 tabs of ATP discussion threads open and it looks like i didn't keep it straight.

I know just enough java to try to look for those multi-catch statements. maybe the code can be 'devolved' back to 1.6 (or i can get 1.7 running)

Hello,
trying to run Aido, but I get this:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/aido/atp/Application : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

java -version gives me this:
java version "1.6.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_45-b06-451-11M4406)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.45-b01-451, mixed mode)


on a mac 10.7.5 with the latest java d/l'ed from oracle.

I'm guessing is wants 1.6.0_51? and I've got _45.....

(btw, the old version of Isis started up no problem)

I always figured the price was lower on BTC-E because its such a hassle to get USD onto the exchange. That difficulty raises the value of USD relative to BTC.
That would also explain why the price at GOX is higher than usual -- its hard to get USD out of there, so people are bidding up BTC because its easier to pull out.

just a theory....
