nice site. i received the 5$ and 5BTC. i found a bug (?) while testing your site. i sold 0.01BTC at 0.75$/BTC to test. and what i got is $0.01. i think you shouldn't round that That's intentional. You can't sell 0.01 BTC at $0.75 because that would require a dollar amount of $0.075. If you try to make a trade that requires fractions of 0.01 BTC or USD it currently rounds your trade up. The alternative would be not to round anything and simply reject the trade but that would force people to do a little more math.

is there a way to view the outstanding order book? Not currently but it will be added soon. cool. i think that's pretty important. Trades are currently executed every 5 minutes. If more people prefer it another way, I'm open to suggestions.
well, ideally they'd be executed immediately upon entry of a matching order (a la mtgox). one other comment: from the home page, it seems there's no way to go to the account page. even if i have logged in, i just see 'home' 'about' and 'faq', there's no 'account' link. in order to get to the account page, i have to manually go to the account.php page. You can also login again and it will redirect you. I'm writing all these suggestions down. Thanks for the feedback!

So my order didn't REALLY go into the nether? What if I want to change it, or kill it?
If you have a trade waiting to be executed it will be listed under current holds. You will have a check box next to it that you can tick and then click remove. I have nothing in holds, so I guess it really did go into the nether. I'll try again. There was probably an error with your request but I don't have them displayed yet. I'm still working on that with the web designer.

Lets be honest, were all waiting for bitcoin to get on the 10-o-clock news or oprah to find out about it. When that time comes we want to look like a well organized autonomous group that's fit for legal and fair commerce, not a dark black market. We want more people to see the bitcoin network to improve the value of our bitcoins. Drugs and money laundering are the kinds of things that should try to avoid attention.
I agree it's not a good selling point for the general public but I disagree that it's going to be the downfall of Bitcoin.

The difference is, you can't bitorrent goods and services like you can with bitcoin. If you could use bitorrent to dowload drugs, you could bet on the government taking a more active roll in shutting it down.
I don't know about that. The RIAA, MPAA and rest of the pro-IP crowd probably have more lobbyists and therefore more political influence than the anti-drug crowd.

Well its services like 'silk road', and the inevitable money laundering schemes that will eventually catch the eye of the powers that be and compel them to declare the bitcoin network illegal. If we don't moderate and police our own network it will all disappear in smoke, and the profits of everyone involved along with it. Blatantly illegal activity going on will make bitcoin go the way of napster.
Napster is a poor example. A better example is BitTorrent which isn't going anywhere even though my gut feeling tells me that most torrent traffic is some form of copyright infringement.

is there a way to view the outstanding order book? Not currently but it will be added soon. are orders filled instantly and automatically (like they are on mtgox), or is there a periodic cron job? Trades are currently executed every 5 minutes. If more people prefer it another way, I'm open to suggestions.

So, I would like to turn the 5 USD I got into BTC. Is there a way to do that from the site, or do I have to withdraw the 5 USD and turn it into BTC myself?
Just make a bid for $5 worth of bitcoins. You can buy 5 BTC at 1 USD or 10 BTC at 0.50 USD.
|
|

Wow, payout's are fast. Still haven't received the 5btc yet though, do these transactions normally take this long?
I was told that the average is about 10 minutes but it can take longer depending on how soon the next block is solved in the chain.

Got my $5 fast, now I'm just waiting for the btc It takes a few minutes for the transaction to be confirmed.

i like that you use openid, though some might find it not very anonim... and anonimity is a big point in bitcoin... Check out http://openid.anonymity.com/It can be as anonymous as any other form of ID.

bitcoin2cash, when I click on 'FAQ' or 'About Us' it doesn't work.
There's no content for those pages yet. I'm still waiting to see what the FAQ are. To buy bitcoins you place a bid. In the amount you put how many bitcoins you want to buy and the price you put what you are willing to pay per BTC. So to spend 5 USD you could buy 5 BTC at 1.00 each or 50 at 0.10 each or whatever. Also, there aren't any error messages yet so if you do something wrong it will just redirect you to the account page instead of explaining what you did wrong. I'm working on that currently.

That sounds like me minus the religious views and the NWO conspiracy stuff. I'm not saying there is no NWO but I haven't seen any credible evidence. No, I'm not interested in arguing about it either. I'll just have to keep waiting for someone to make a reasonable case and hope that I'm right until then. I'm also running a Bitcoin exchange now exactly because Bitcoin promotes liberty. So, if anyone wants to donate to me in case I need legal defense, please do so. My address is in my signature and I will not spend any of the donations unless I get arrested.

Paypal as a deposit/withdrawal method perhaps? The service aims to be as anonymous as possible so I'm not sure how that could fit in with our goal. We don't want to do anything that is going to leave a paper trail.

Your homepage is not rendering properly on Google Chrome 10.0.648.204 Thanks for the report. I'll pass that on to the designer. Any chance at getting an API sometime? That will definitely happen. I'd like to see my customer number in the account menu ... Alright, I'll put that on the todo list.

It's my ink and my paper. I will sell it any form I damn well please.
It's my mouth and I will use it to say whatever I want, including "give me all your money or I'll kill you." It's just sound, right? Doesn't mean anything, right? And when I sign a contract with you, it's not really an agreement, right? It's just ink on a piece of paper, right? It's coercion. Why do you keep bringing up arguments that have already been refuted?

And if you bake bread just for the money then those breads probably suck anyways. And if you write software just to make a living then that software probably is trash. And if you build cars, or waiter at diners, or drive taxis, then you probably just deliver bad, bad goods and service. Bread isn't art. Neither is any of that other crap you've mention. Your analogies fail. Many classical and romantic artists didn't live under nobility. Mozart was an independent musician yet he's arguably still one of the greatest composers of all time, without the need for copyrights. Of course, you tellingly ignored the examples of Plato, Aristotle and others so you can cherry-pick your argument.

Then when all of society is like that you start wondering why there are no more new really good books being written, and why all the Hollywood films that come out are crap and regurgitations. Yes, it's a good thing we had strong copyright laws back in the day to protect Bach, Beethoven, Plato, Aristotle, Chaucer, etc, or we'd be in such trouble. If you're making art just for the money, you probably suck anyways.
