opening a bitcoin exchange with alphapoint

[fuckthisform]

i am thinking about opening a bitcoinexchange and while reading forum threads(on the bitcoin forum in the stackexchange site) about opening a bitcoin exchange business i saw in some of them posts about alphapoint company which from what i understood help people who want to open a bitcoin exchange business and i even readed in the alphapoint's linkedin page: "Full system to run a digital asset exchange. Fully hosted options available. Customize and launch your own digital currency and/or bitcoin exchange in less than 20 days with AlphaPoint ".

from what i saw in this forum and in general its look like its a serious company and not some scam but still sounds a bit fishy to me cause i don't understand the basics of what is all about and what is the deal her. what alphapoint offers to someone who want to open a bitcoinexchange business? bitcoin exchange are usualy automatic right? so if they provide all the tech and equipment why they need customers who want to open a bitcoin exchange business? they expect the customers to be experts in servers and/or programming?.

i know its mybe a questions that i should ask the alphapoint site but i feel more comfortable to know that other people see that it is a legit deal that make sense.

Random people from around the world opening up exchanges via a third party; what could possibly go wrong?

The next time you ask a question about a particular, and relatively unknown service, it would be good to include a link. Depending on the search engine, it may very well be quite hard to find.

if you cannot code an exchange yourself then you have no ability to review the code to ensure there are no back doors.

if you dont have experience to run an exchange yourself, then you dont have experience to know the "third party employers" are not misusing your service to internally rip you off, which will leave you holding the bag of 'hacked' excuses that you have to explain.

if you dont have the funds to pay employee's to work for you directly, then you dont have the financial skills and management skills to look after and manage other peoples funds.

sorry but we dont need another boiler-room exchange

bitcoin exchange are usualy automatic right?

not really, remember the clearing, someone must transfer the fiat money to customer accounts using some way ( bank transfer, paypal ). I am looking for more tech information here by myself, find some news at coindesk:

http://www.coindesk.com/bitfinex-alphapoint-integration/

and read some manuals:

https://alphapoint.com/AlphaPoint_Launching_a_Digital_Asset_Exchange.pdf

but IMHO create a platform from scratch or open source based stills a better option

The shared order book network of exchanges was talked about a lot back then but never materialized. I think its a good concept. Dont know why nobody has done anything with it.

looks like a few people are gonna lose a few bitcoin in the coming year if this is true....... 

as for example:

Telyatnikov estimates that AlphaPoint now has roughly a dozen clients all over the world, including major regional bitcoin exchanges such as Canada's Cointrader and Mexico's meXBT.
