1. Is it possible to change the BTC address associated with an account or are you tied to the one you enter on account creation? I haven't actually fired up a BTC client for ages (use just exchange accounts) but would obviously need to so so if the account I enter on creation is not changable thereafter.
Done. If 2-Factor is enabled, you must enter your code to change this.
2. I see there's a floating scale for trading fees. Where can I find a list of the rates and volumes needed to qualify for them?
This actually was in the F.A.Q. Fourth item down.
Q: What are the fees?
A: Fees range between between 1% and 0.5% based on your account tier. When logged in, YOUR current fee tier is listed under the 'Settings' page.
3. I see references to Weexchange. As best I can make out, I'd need to create an account there then deposits/withdrawals to/from my account on your exchange would be done through them. Two questions arise from this (if my understanding is correct - if not, then I'm totally at a loss as to what they do):
a) Is there any fee charged for using them as an intermediary (fee to me that is - don't care whether or not you pay a fee on top)?
b) Do you know if deposits/withdrawals to/from them are instant or have to go through some approval process? i.e. if I withdraw from your site can I be confident to get the BTC to wherever I want 6 blocks later (I'm assuming the withdrawal from site to my wallet on Weexchange would be immediate)?
Excellent point sir!
I have updated the WeExchange linking page, as well as the F.A.Q. page to point people where they need to go to transfer funds in/out and that it is instant.
I plan to re-structure the settings page as it is getting cluttered, and copying the withdraw section there as well along with instructions on how to deposit from WeExchange.
I am also looking to add an access pin code to merchant options on WeExchange. This would allow users to transfer funds from their WeExchange account directly from the BitFunder site using this pin.
4. Can't tell from looking at orders - but is it possible to apply the same funds to orders on different securities (as on BTC.CO) or does every order have to be backed by seperate BTC (as on GLBSE and CRYPTO)?
Everything must be backed/reserved. We will not fluff our numbers.
I did add that to the F.A.Q. page in about 3 question forms, in case someone does not understand the wording in one of the cases.
Some people had problems understanding the meaning of each of them when I was testing the wording on guinea pigs.
5. Is there a reason for listing volume per asset in number of shares not in BTC? BTC gives a much clearer picture of activity level (10 shares at 0.1 BTC is, to me, same economic activity as 1 share at 1 BTC - not 10 times as much)?
Ask and ye shall receive. I am debating changing the layout of the assets table a bit. Kind of crowded. Possibly dual line listings, along with 7-Day numbers.
Good to see a nice clean/clear interface like BTC.CO rather than the abortion that Crypto is (can't find ANY way there to see my orders on an asset at the same time as the market orders for it).
Thanks! I plan to keep trying to de-cluster, clean up, and arrange the site to be as efficient, and easy for new people to "guess" where things are as possible.
