So EUR is via mail? (fee?)
Could it also be done via bank transfer?

Please e-mail [email protected] for inquiries.

Yea, I will definitely improve the user profile thing, however I need to code something up quickly for a nice admin interface.
Shouldn't be long just have to do it.

Ummm yea... That makes good sense, but I feel like it would get hard to compare against other markets.
Maybe I can just have both ! Smiley

Maybe you make it as some kind of a user preference ?

I think that, instead of pricing bitcoin in other currencies, you should price other currencies in bitcoin.

I think the logic at most exchanges is that bitcoins are a commodity, and you use a more established currency to buy commodities.

yea, don't switch out... if you want, have a radio button that switches the pricings around... but i think the default pricing way should stay because that's what all the other markets do.

In the same idea, order books should orders to buy/sell other currencies.  For instance, if I want to buy bitcoins against euros, I go on the EURO book and I put a "sell" order.

This would make things much clearer.

PS.  It would also make the graph easier to read, since all currency prices could be expressed in the same unit.

You probably need to advertise outside of this forum to generate more trades as otherwise you are cannibalizing the other existing exchanges.
Don't get me wrong. It is great to have your service, but it is crucial to grow the bitcoin pie foremost vs. fighting on market shares.
There's a reason why sales and engineering are two different jobs. I'm an engineer Smiley

Also yay!
First trades in cash EUR after some people sent cash in the mail/wires!

Also S3052, I think I might get loads more volume if I set up dark pools, which are basically in my understanding trade orders that don't get publised anywhere.

Oh yes, API has been updated to take EUR currency into account.

Exactly, we are saying the same thing.

Advertising here in the forum is cool. And advertising outside - if done properly - can enable bitcoin to go through the roof.

nothing wrong with a little competition. Smiley that said, these two things are not mutually exclusive. one can advertise here, and also elsewhere.

further, this exchange is foss... so that means people can set up country-local exchanges easily with this code, which will grow the bitcoin pie.
