Did you know that Intersango has a Facebook page? As well as being the largest GBP/BTC market in the world BitcoinConsultancy (Intersango's operators) have just teamed up with Bitcoinica! This is great to hear! Hopefully the two of you together can put together something that will seriously compete with Gox  |

Haven't sent anything for a while, so just sent in another coin

Are you going to implement a trade api for automatic trading?
Much like tradehill/mtgox.
I didnt see any response to this question. When do you plan to have an API for trading? +1 |

This is because of the liquidity unfortunately. We should see Intersango expand in coming months however.
The USD and EUR markets had pretty so-so liquidity, but their GBP market is quite active, at least as active as say CryptoXChange for example, but I'm not seeing the same kind of price imbalances at CryptoXChange. Could have something to do with the new commission structure as well. 0.95% is pretty steep. |

It's not just Intersango, the same is true for pretty much all exchanges that are not Mt.Gox. Mt.Gox has more liquidity so you get consistently better prices
Unless you're selling bitcoins, in which case Intersango has a better price. Very true, already sold a bunch, but unfortunately I have no use for GBP other than to buy more coins with it |

Anyone know why the Intersango GBP market seems to be consistently overpriced relative to the USD market? I've noticed this for at least the past month or so.
For instance, right now the Gox USD price is $5.18 and the Intersango GBP price is 3.31 which according to Google is $5.30. So Bitcoins on the Intersango GBP market are overpriced by about 2.5%, which is pretty consistent with what I've been seeing just about every day for at least a month.

Don't suppose you guys do Windows hosting too? Been looking for a place to host an ASP.NET site I've been working on. Suppose I could use Apache/mono if I had to though.

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

Awesome, I really need to start trading at bitfloor more..
|
|
|
|
I would like to point out that Bitfloor runs a fully featured 'testnet' site which provides all of the capabilities of our production exchange using fake money: https://testnet.bitfloor.com/It is a feature clone yet completely separate from the production network. This is pretty much what I'm building now, the biggest difference being that I would bring in orders from other exchanges as well so that there would always be liquidity and trading action. |

Took a look at currencytycoon.com, my site would be a bit different in that it would operate more like a bitcoin exchange - only BTC/USD trading, would have an actual order book, etc. Similar in concept though. |

Kinda like Trade Ninja and how it allows you to play the stock market with fake money?
Would it use the actual live data from mtgox?
Yes on both questions - it would mix live orders from mtgox and the other smaller exchanges, plus whatever orders were placed on the site itself. Even better, make a test bitcoinica platform. I really need to learn how to play around with margin.
That would be cool, but I still have a hard time figuring out exactly how Bitcoinica works, much less trying to actually code it Would this just be for bitcoin exchanges or for stock markets like GLBSE?
Would just be for bitcoin exchanges. There are lots of other "fantasy stock market" like sites out there, although I suppose there are none around GLBSE. |

I'm working on a concept for a Bitcoin exchange that works exactly like a regular exchange, but without real money or real bitcoins. You would simply get an automated deposit of currency and/or bitcoins daily with which to trade. The idea is that you could use this to test out trading strategies or bots in a realistic environment without putting any real money at risk. Main features: - A website (trading page, accounts, order book, graphs, etc.) - everything you would expect at a regular bitcoin exchange.
- A fully featured REST/JSON trading API along the same lines as Gox, CryptoXChange, Intersango etc.
- Automated "order monkeys" that copy orders from the major exchanges. This would provide a full order book and liquidity even if no "real" people are trading.
- Possible competitions with prizes for winners (best return over X days, etc. kind of like Motley Fool CAPS)
- Semi-public account information (e.g. public leaderboard(s) or rankings to show which users have the best performance, again, similar to CAPS)
Would this be something that anyone would be interested in using? Anything else you'd like to see (or not see)? |

It seems to be quite a bit faster now, but I'm still noticing a bit of a lag (a few seconds) between when I place an order and when it actually executes.
Also, I noticed that sometimes the bid price is higher than the ask, or the ask is higher than the bid. To me, this means that they must be "booking" all new orders before they even get a first run through the matching process. Probably not a good idea.

Ha, nice. Having this same issue right now with an e-comm site that I manage. As you mentioned, seems red hat backports security fixes but doesn't change the version number.
Would think that with red hat being as popular as it is that McCaffee would handle this in their scanner, but no.

I've been trading on your GBP, EUR & USD markets for a while now and have been very happy with it.
The GBP market is quite liquid, and I would love to see more volume on the USD market!

Very sorry to see you guys shut down  I've been a very active trader at TH for a while now, so it's a real bummer to see you guys go. I wish you the best with Bitcoin.com, and hope to see Tradehill v2 come back soon! Sending the 40 some-odd Euro I had laying around your way as well, you guys deserve it, and I have nowhere to withdraw Euro to anyways |
