So from the above it would seem that having a "Place order" above the order book would be useful. I wasn't really expecting to have to do any work from the home page, that's normally associated with a bit of marketing fluff. Although it would probably involve a redesign of the layout, I'd expect to see a "Place order" box prominently displayed on every page (perhaps on the left in a column).

It was surprising to find that the page used to place an order is the home page.  Rather than adding arbitrary links everywhere I would perhaps add extend the label 'Home - Return home' to 'Home - Place an order' in the right-hand navigation list.

The way that an appropriate amount of BTC/GBP is filled in when you enter the GBP/BTC you want to trade (using the best ask/bid) is good but given that
- The market volume is rather low.
- The rate is such a vital piece of information in placing an order.
I would suggest that beneath the currency converter section on the home page there could be a section which lists the 3 best bids and asks (rate, giving, and wanting).

This would be useful for people wanting to place an order roughly in the middle of the spread and also quite useful for those of us who want to buy/sell 50 BTC or more and would like to see if the best bid(s) ask(s) are for significant sums.  Also, I find myself doing a lot of copying between the orderbook and the homepage for various reasons.  I currently keep two tabs open for these pages and switch between them frequently but I'm only interested in the best 3 or so from the bid and ask lists (so there is a lot of scrolling going on too).

Anyway, not a request, just a suggestion.

I'd certainly agree that the facility for the buyer/seller to set their own rates is very useful. This will introduce a lot of extra flexibility into the process.

You can set your own rate by filling in both sides of the "converter".

eg Currency I have: £10, currenty I want: 2BTC, hit "Buy" and you've just placed an order for 2BTC at £5 each. You'll see it on the orderbook, with the other £250 (currently) waiting at that price.

It would be nice, though, to be able to enter the rate - say I have £12.34 and I want to buy at £5.25 per bitcoin, I'd like not to have to work out that I want 2.35BTC.

hi, great to see some british input on bitcoins. I have a query about your site, im by no means technically minded so i cant understand why your prices given are around the 8-9£ mark whereas MtGox, one of the main players is trading at around 5-6£ why is there this big difference, wouldnt people just come to your site for the extra 30-40%?

As promised here is the final episode in my newbie Bitcoin visit to Britcoin. I've just finished transferring my shiny new BTCs into my wallet and it all went as smooth as silk. Once again, a triumph.

No problems whatsoever. Get them while they're hot, then spend 'em to kickstart the new economy!

:-D

How much does it cost to move GBP to USD?

Edit: This is an answer to thekoolio's question rather than a request for information.

Is there still a way to withdraw GBP to a non UK bank account in EU? I've seen the international withdrawal section where you put in IBAN/SWIFT etc., but now it's gone.

To deposit BTC I just send to the address on the page, but how does he know what account to put it in?

Is there a unique account for every member or.....?

Just some feedback on the site:

I wanted to sell 78 Bitcoins and obviously wanted to get the best price possible, however, I wanted the order filled straight away.

I placed my order at a price below the highest bid to ensure that the whole order was fulfilled. I checked the order book first to see the volume. When my trade was executed it did the whole order at the lower price.

Tbh I half expected this, but I wanted to see how it worked. I was also being lazy not wanting to place a separate order for each higher bid, as there were several for small amounts.

The end result is that there were people willing to pay more for my bitcoins but their bids were overlooked and somebody that bid less than others had their trade executed.

Not a big deal for me this time as like I said I was just experimenting with the site and considered that it might happen before I placed the order. But surely the highest bids should always be executed first?

Hey granrojo, I agree with you and that will be the new behaviour in the new version of Britcoin we are writing.

Hi genjix!

Please could you confirm your FSA registration before I make a deposit?

I work in a bank, so can't risk trading unless everything is above board.

Please see: http://www.fsa.gov.uk/pages/Doing/Do/index.shtml

With luck, you'll qualify as a small EMI, as described here: http://www.fsa.gov.uk/Pages/About/What/International/emoney/faqs/index.shtml

would he have to register with fsa if for instance he became an offshore company? I doubt they would allow anything bitcoin related to become registered?

You wouldnt be risking anything?! Its not your responsibility to check whether or not he's registered... you're just a customer of his declared services. Besides, if registration does happen surely thatll be weeks if not months down the line and by then you would have missed out on some juicy profits?!
