Vircurex vs BTC-e

[420]

it cost less to get gox USD over to Vircurex than to btc-e (0.89% vs 1.49%)

so why aren't more people buying/selling btc for USD on Vircurex.com ? and definately now that btc-e is whacky and bitinstant halted the deposits AND vircurex has redeemable codes now

why would anyone move dollars from gox to vircurex in order to buy btc???

well they do it to BTC-e and BitStamp

you can arbitrage trade and just have your money diversified in case of hacks

Not to mention the purchase of LTC and alt-coins on these exchanges

i always liked vircurex for its appearance and diversity,
but i always wondered why not much is going on there.

You can be an owner of Vircurex on BTCTC.

The interface isn't nice. People can't see any graphs/charts and have to enter everything rather manually. With a nicer layout and interface, I'm sure it would take off.

I wrote a small app to monitor for arbitrage between BTC-e and Vircurex.  I can say that Vircurex's API is much nicer.

BTC-e added BitInstant funds today. Something to the tune of $100,000 I think they said.
