Camp BX USA: Ask-Us-Anything Thread

[QuickTrader]

What other payment / withdraw features will you consider? Thinking of neteller / moneybookers and MTgox USD transfers.

[SHlFT]

Another payment / withdraw features would you consider is Serve.com?

And would you make a Android App for CampBX just like MtGox Live?

it would be convenience to me.

[Keyur @ Camp BX]

QT and SHIFT,
     We are looking in to other payment options actively, that meet following two requirements:

1) Payment company must have a registered office in the USA
2) Must be willing to sign a contract outlining all terms at the outset.

We will keep you posted as we add more payment options.  In the meantime, we have a good working relationship with Dwolla and they have been very responsive to all our questions / requests.

We are going to continue our relationship with Dwolla.

Thank you,
     Keyur

Shift,
     A dedicated Android app is not in the pipeline so far, however you should be able to use the Web UI on any recent smartphone or tablet.  We have tested www.CampBX.com on iPad and iPhone 3GS, and it works very smoothly.  We are also working on enabling instant text-message (SMS) notifications for account activitiy.

Hope this helps,
     Keyur

Haha David, I heard what Bruce had to say about AmEx Platinum!

However Serve is a different company so we will definitely call them up tomorrow, and see what their options look like.

Thank you for the suggestion Shift!

You're welcome.

i'll be waiting for the outcome of this.

Serve is quite different than Dwolla since they don't charge fees on sending or receiving.

No fees at all? I find that extremely hard swallow.

I strongly suggest you read the entire 20 page contract very carefully. I used to work in the credit card processing industry and Amex will not do anything free. I am one of the very few people in the world who carefully read all of the major "Brands" Visa, MC, Amex, discover...contracts and I assure you *something* nefarious is hiding in the fine print.

It will not be easy to understand but there will be something saying they have the right to freze and/or clear out your linked bank account at their pleasure.

Feel free to read it,
and tell me what you think.

Serve is different.

To send or receive, they both got have accounts with them.

Edwin,
     We are a small team so have to prioritize: so far our work has been around adding features to the platform, and starting next we are going to focus on market share and liquidity.  We will have aggressive discounts for higher volumes!

Thank you,

Shift,
     Talked to Serve today: They are a good option for consumers but are not meant to be a merchant-side solution.  Their monthly transaction cap per account is $2,500!

Thank you for the suggestion though - we are keeping our eyes open for options.

Wow, that's peanuts for any buisness! Good luck with that.

We think you might have some bugs in your referral/affiliate program. Can you please check it out here:
http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=27760.msg414001#msg414001
and respond?

P.S. Good interface changes on the site in the past week. It's much easier to trade now

This question was answered-- there is a delay in processing of the refunds, and that was causing the confusion.

I also had some problems logging in earlier today... When I clicked "Manage Funds" it logged my out. It is sort of working now (at least it works some times ).

[nmat]

I have a question: if we can't trade less than 0.1BTC, why is some guy buying 0.01BTC at $12.76?

EDIT: Well, he isn't anymore... But I saw it!
