TradeHill - Who we are

[TriumVir]

I know this will fall on deaf ears . . . but these exchanges need to go to a flat fee for transactions. The amounts these guys are or will be bringing in is disproportionate to what is provided. Maybe a percentage charge up until a max flat fee is reached. Dunno.

The MTGOX and TRADEHILL KILLER .

Based out of Atlanta , Georgia , USA.  

Sounds sexy. At least they have a nice design, but this is just the teasing page. Wait and see. And they would have better securing their server, avoiding basic mistakes you can even spot from the whois. 

Regarding the flat fees, it seems interesting but keep in mind some guys (like me) are passing 100s of orders everyday and overloading the servers. I have no problem with paying fees as long as the server responds well (which is as we know not the case at this time for MtGox or TradeHill).

JARED- YOU NEED TO READ THIS NOW!

This article was written by the former finance minister of Chile. it is in favor of capital controls and alludes to the development of the IMF's changing position on capital controls. They very well may be laying the ground work for complete government regulation of all private money flows into or out of Chile. I know that's where your servers are. If capital controls are implemented, they could very well shut down you entire exchange. Worst case scenario they nationalize (steal) everything.

We'll look in to this a lot more. Our servers (and funds / wallets) aren't actually located in Chile, just management and customer service. We do have some CLP in Chilean banks but that market hasn't really picked up that much yet. The current president is actually from the right (first since the revolution more than 20 years ago). People might be surprised with how Chile is in reality compared to how it's portrayed in film / TV etc. Chile also has really strong ties to the United States which can be a very good or very bad thing. There are a lot of good reasons to be in Chile and a lot of good reasons to leave. We're considering all options and if this continues to prove to be viable we may make a move.

I think this is huge news for everyone if they're involved with Bitcoins or not. Thanks for the link.

ok so yer based in chile... wonderful.. and obviously no stranger to spam and lots of annoying sigs in forums..

how long til we get a real exchange that isnt goxian or spamhill/ banana republicBux?  Cant we get some freaking americans on this job?  Playtimes over...

<Shudders to think what extradition treaty loopholes motivated all these guys to move down there>

Hi Beeph,

Thanks for the feedback but allow me to clear up a few points.

We regret the Gox mailing list was abused by a few irresponsible people. As we have stated both in emails and on the forums, these people's accounts were banned and they did not receive any commissions.

Regarding your comment about Americans, if you read our original profiles above, then you will see that we are all Americans except Francisco. Either way, Bitcoins are global and people of all nationalities should be involved.

Just so you understand, I am also consulting with top ten global banks to setup an OTC FX and IR derivatives exchange which will see at least 15 trillion in notional volume. Professionally, I have some experience in this domain.

Lastly, Chile is the oldest democracy in South America, it has the highest debt rating of any country and operates under a solid Rule of Law. It has full extradition.

Thanks again and I hope that this clears things up.

Regards,
Adam

Hi Chucky,

Thanks for the good words.

We are happy with the launch and also know we can improve significantly.

Stay tuned for updates!

Dude, you guys survived some of the worst pr spam with those TH referral links.  I think everyone understood those referral codes were put out before the real bad stuff was going down at Gox.  Keep up the good work guys, always attempt to at the least make the company as transparent as possible (I guess it's hard not to when you are on forums with us bastards), congrats

Now let's get some graphics work done on the inside and have that market data on the top of every page

[ssaCEO]

emailed tradehill last night about whether they're a viable choice for us as a gaming site that (might) start dealing in BTC. Haven't heard back yet  

Thought I'd make this question public, though:

I can't find anywhere on the TH site that discusses maximum withdrawals, either to bitcoin or to USD. Every other site we've looked at seems to put a $1k per day limit on USD withdrawals. Are there any limits in place on TradeHill?

sounds great i just signed up!

We'll get back to you about the gambling site, we've received your email and are discussing it.


In regards to maximum withdrawals there aren't currently any. We manually verify large withdrawals to insure that that the account hasn't been compromised or something fishy is going on.

Good to know. So far, we like what we're seeing from TH. As a startup, we're also all 27-31, and dealing with everything ourselves. So I can appreciate the ethos.

Great - we will be following up today - a call should be in order! We are also going introduce you to some bitcoin centric entrepreneurs whom will promote you.

Any news re Sepa withdrawls, it's the reason I have to keep using Gox.
Also, have you looked into uKash for deposits? Might be worth a look, easy to obtain them here in EU and elsewhere.

Hi Rdonohoe,

We are very close on SEPA - sit tight!

I also just got a lovely email this morning confirming we will be in Israeli Shekels very soon.

uKash - funny you should bring that up - we just looked at them closely and think we may try them. You like the service? Any drawbacks? How is the speed?

Thanks again and feel free to reach out at anytime, with comments, questions, feedback, anything!

If you hope to become the go-to place to trade BTC, I sure hope you upgrade your servers to handle high volumes of traffic.

I certainly wish TradeHill all the best as well, but first order of business, they need
to stop being so dollar-centric and start accepting other currencies. Euros, Yens and
GBP would double their market reach.

Hi Znort,

We agree wholeheartedly. We encourage people in other countries to reach out to us to discuss partnerships - we are open minded. Also, we have just only hashed out the deal terms, contractual points, etc, etc for the Partnership Program. The Israeli deal will be one of our first partners.

If you are interested in partnering, send an email to info@tradehill.com with "Partnership" in the title and please tell us about your history with BTC, your professional background, and what your are seeing 'on the ground' in your local region.

Thanks again for the feedback and feel free to reach out to us at anytime if you need anything.

Regards,
Adam - Tradehill
