This is a brand new exchange for bitcoin? Or interfaces with Mt Gox?

[wumpus]

I'm also very interested on how this works.

Do you provide your own BTC<->USD market? Or do you get market rates from mtgox?

Are you guys a regulated forex brokerage firm or is this a mom & pop type of roll your own brokerage broker type of operation?

Btw Forex in Australia is regulated by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC).

[kseistrup]

We look forward to your comments and suggestions for this pilot program.

No Linux clients?

Cheers,

[allinvain]

We are not an Australian firm and we are not regulated in that country.  As for Mom and Pop, that's what Bitcoin is.

Well then care to tell us under what jurisdiction the company is registered, and if you are at all regulated in the country of registration? Nope bitcoin is not "mom and pop" because bitcoin is not a business.

Also what type of dealing scenario do you use? STP? Dealing Desk?

From the looks of your domain the website/business is most likely registered in Colombia.

You site says some country restrictions may apply for new accounts. What countries do you not allow accounts from? If my recent experience is any indication South Korea is on your list

[kseistrup]

The domain info you got has New Zealand all over it, does it not?

FNIB is not affiliated with Mt Gox.

FNIB does not accept Paypal/Moneybookers but Bitcoin will be accepted directly.

How does it work?  Open your trading account with a Bitcoin payment.  Your account will be credited in USD at publicly available Bitcoin exchange rates on that day.  Trade FX.  When you want to cash out, Bitcoin will be sent back to you at that day's exchange rate.  

Note that Bitcoin itself is not traded on the platform.

Congrats!  I was wondering when this would be available..  Been wanting to dabble in Forex for a while..

However, I'd rather my BTC deposit stay as BTC until the moment I decide to open a position, otherwise I risk losing the BTC upside in the meantime.

What's the margin?  Couldn't find it on the site..

[Ggodinho]

Woow this is pretty awesome.

So,  BTC in and out?  So if I put 1000BTC in last week ($8/BTC) I would get 8000FX,  Trade that for a week and get 20% increase then transfer 9600FX back to BTC ($14/BTC) = 685 BTC.   I think I'll keep my BTC thank you.

not for long buddy.

Very cool that you are accepting bitcoins. But your site seems to be a bit too vague on important details like what your spreads are.

I will stick with Oanda for my forex needs. Sure, they don't accept bitcoin, but at least they publish live spreads http://fxtrade.oanda.com/why/spreads/recent as well as all sorts of other interesting data.

If anyone around here uses them I would be interested in hearing how it goes.

[Isepick]

Fascinating....FNIB is developing a competitor for Bitcoin, and hiring coders to do it, preferably in PERL.... https://www.odesk.com/jobs/Cyber-Currency-Developer_~~0c9020b9d4c4e663

[TraderTimm]

I'd be interested if I thought any other currency had a fighting chance against bitcoin, which they don't.

So, you might as well say - 'trade for colored buttons' because that is what they'll end up being after a while. Sorry, centrally-planned currencies just got their wake-up call, whether they last or not isn't really up for debate.

This is the game-changer. I'd be more interested if you were actually setting up a bitcoin market, but it looks like you're just integrating bitcoin in a bid to get some trading volume and make money off of the bid-offer spread like every other forex broker.

Nice try, I'll stick with bitcoins.

Wow really. I guess it was only a matter of time before someone thought "me too" .

[marcus_of_augustus]

In response to some comments,


     Country restrictions affect elegibility to trade and margin requirements. 

 FNIB has hired programmers to integrate Bitcoin, among other tasks.  Developers with strong PHP skills and prior knowledge of Bitcoin coding are encouraged to send their CV to info@fnib.co

     Margin is 200:1 maximum.  Spreads are competitive.

Will you trade coding for BTC?

[davout]

Why only PHP ?

If you're building apps from scratch there are much better alternatives.

     Country restrictions affect elegibility to trade and margin requirements. 

Ok. 

So how does living in South Korea affect my eligibility to trade and margin requirements?
