Any Canadian bitcoin buyers or sellers try Virtex Exchange yet?

Can totally verify that this place works, I got into it around the 9th or so and even deposited some funds.

In retrospect I'm glad I did since they've hit their deposit limit for the beta phase.

Seems to work really well, I'm glad that thing exists and if you already have a TD Bank account, you're golden.

Sold some BTC, direct deposited my earnings to a Scotiabank account. A fine service.

Also used this service succesfully

Very impressed and happy.. used e-transfer, took 4 hours(started at 9pm)
transferred coin as well


thumbs up

Are they taking deposits yet?  Supposedly cutting off new deposits until out of beta.

Doesn't look like it.  That's unfortunate and I hope they don't intend to keep going this way for long.  Even aside from the recent price volatility, the depth of the bid market is very shallow already.  There's not enough cash in there to make it flow as an exchange.

Just trying it out today. Made my trade yesterday and sent the CAD directly to my account. Just waiting the day or so for it to show up.

New news update from them today:

"Our launch date is approaching and will be announced within the week! We are working very hard on the following: 1) Migration of our beta servers to a new server infrastructure with heightened security. 2) New Terms of Use created by our legal team. 3) Compliance with Canadian anti-money laundering policies as well as GST and CRA policies. Operating a Bitcoin Exchange in Canada is a ground breaking endeavor that involves risk on our part. The delays with going live have all been due to our mission of providing a secure service for you as well mitigating our risk. Unlike other exchanges, we choose to operate in the country of residents we service. We will comply with regulatory bodies and are undertaking research and obtaining legal advice to make this exchange a reality! When choosing us for your Bitcoin exchange, you can be confident that you are dealing with a company that is performing due diligence and is located in Canada."

Does this mean (among other things) that they're going to be charging 5% sales tax on every purchase?  That seems like it will basically kill it as an exchange.

[Lambontae]

Its back up!

1% fees on trades, pretty nice.
The limits are up too, should be a nice stable trade.

I would like to see this get big for canadian users, the only thing keeping me away is the 14.9/btc price.

[teflone]

Yeah, the volume is waaaay up though, Im happy to see that..

[adamstgBit]

are they on the bitcoin charts?

[SteveJobs]

Not yet.

[Shuffle]

the price is too low for me to sell on there though, we need some buyers

[SteveJobs]

Yeah it's a great exchange, just needs more buyers.

[SteveJobs]

And currently it's selling for less than Mt.Gox's price when CAN is worth more than USD so it makes for a nice buying opportunity.

This site definitely works.. was able to transfer funds to and fro without incident. Glad to see a Canadian alternative for all this Bitcoin stuff. Site will grow in time, needs more buyers for sure. Peace
