CampBX Launch - Free Trades for All Bxlievers!

[Stephen Gornick]

Looks like CampBX is paying the $0.25 fee normally charged the sender when adding funds to an exchange.

Is that accurate?   Likely to continue?

When withdrawing, I would assume, the fee is subtracted.

We will look into offering two-factor authentication depending on feedback from the userbase.

Well, it seems your user base is speaking pretty loud and clear...

Your dev team will probably find that doing really good 2FA gets pretty complicated, and using third-party key fobs like RSA tokens is quite expensive.

FWIW, I suggested a "poor man's version" of second-channel confirmation in this thread:

  http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=25982.0

This is very easy to implement, and would at least add an extra layer of security while you work on a more robust solution.

Other poasters have pointed to a number of alternatives.  For example, for customers with Android smartphones, there are probably a dozen Droid apps that could serve the purpose (and if there isn't, just whisper the idea into the wind, and it'll be in the Market tomorrow).  Even text messages sent to an ordinary cell phone might be workable.

You'll want to get *something* in place pretty quickly though, just to show that you're a serious player, and that you are responsive to your users.  Thanks for listening!

The Depth Table was confusing to me.

Buy Interest | Price
 BTC 1      |  $13. 50
 BTC 4      |  $11.60
 BTC 2      |  $10.00

I thought those BTC N were just labels or something at first.   I didn't realize that was quantity.  e.g., 1+ interest at $13.50

It rounds that down, ... why not list the exact quantity available?

Additionally, I see that you have a ticket / help desk system.  Is that also for these type of issues (e.g., enhancement requests)?

Stephen,
       We have updated the quantity display to show the decimals for BTC quantity. 

You are correct - you can also use the ticketing system for enhancement requests.

Thank you for trying us out,

VV,
      Your idea is a good model for an added layer to authentication for sure!

My only concern is that the user has to be 100% secure at setup time for the crypto-card.   Zero-knowledge protocols like Kerberos may be a good way of over coming this limitation.  Open source Kerberos implementations are also available readily.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerberos_%28protocol%29

We are looking at all options including Kerberos, and will keep you posted!

Thank you,
     Keyur

[Keyur @ Camp BX]

So you will report some transactions to third parties without the user's permission?

FM, this will be a very rare occurrence given that we have the ability to proactively block such dollar transactions.  But in a nutshell, yes this a requirement for any legitimate business.

[Keyur @ Camp BX]

take the "BTC" out of the depth table, dont round it all the way up, put a pause button on the chart slideshow... , get better graphs, API is needed

layout is cool but it's still a bit confusing to read shit

Check and check!  Graph update is already in development; will allow you to pause and zoom the graphs.

Thank you for trying out Camp BX Frank,

I hope this site gets some traction looks much more secure than MT Gox and looks better too.

Stop hoping and throw some dollars/coins up there. Even if it's small at first, every little bit increases their volume. I've got a few coins up there, and I'll likely be adding more as it picks up.

I probably will the moment they do SEPA transfers.

Will the 0.5BTC minimum limit be removed at any point? I'd be using it a lot more if I didn't have to wait for a half a Bitcoin to put money in, and if I didn't have to do it in multiples of 0.05. :\

... and with Tradehill being down I'm bored as shit right now.

[Tasty Champa]

a few questions.

Where or what is the ticker?
is it on http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/ or http://www.bitcoinwatch.com/ yet?
When will an order book be instated?

Biggest issues with tradehill and bitcoin7 is we really can't see the order book, and even with mtgox it is very spotty.

does campbx have a feed for sierrachart?
I'm assuming if it is on bitcoincharts it should have one but I don't see it.

Tasty,
      Our testnet version displayed the full order book, but the request from most of the users was to switch to a depth table view.

As for the latest prices ticker, you can see them at top of every page, and we are working on a feed out to Bitcoin Charts.  Sierra charts is not on the list, because we have not received too many requests around it.

Thank you,

Elggawf,
     Will update the limit later today.

Also stay tuned for one more announcement!

Thanks for the quick reply.
AFAIK Slush's sierrachartfeed pulls from bitcoincharts.com so whenever you setup the feed for bitcoincharts Slush's sierrachartfeed should automagically work then. with something like:
"sierrachartfeed-0.2.exe -s campbxUSD"
BTW, do you have any indication of what the ticker will be?

I gotta say the site looks so clean and aesthetically pleasing, I love the high quality jscharts you have setup.

hi Keyur, I am using your exchange and i like it.

However, on the trade now page, is it possible for you to have the inputs in one box calculated for you based on the input in another box?  for example, if i have $80 in my account, and want to buy btc at $14, can you rig it so that it will calculate the number of btc itself, while also taking into account the trade commission?

Second this request, it would be really nifty - but for the love of all things holy don't forget the bit in bold.

[dentldir]

Looks good so far.

Please consider formatting the market depth table like NASDAQ Level II Quotes so that the spread is right at the top of the chart.  Not only would it appear more professional, it would be a lot more recognizable to everyone who trades on other markets.

Buy/Sell buttons right on the market depth chart similar to forex software would be nice as well.

I look forward to the graphs.  Long term I hope they have a robust set of tools for annotating and saving charts.

Thank you Mouser,
     We are looking to implement a "Spend X Dollars" option to the trade now screen.  We have a couple more things in pipeline prior to that, but this feature is definitely on our radar.

Thank you Dentldir,
       Buy/Sell buttons next to the depth table are in already in testing, and hope to roll them out shortly.

Unfortunately the graph upgrade is going to take longer than expected, so stay tuned for that later in the month.

Thank you,
