Does that mean a complaint to the banking ombdusman is now required?

Perhaps so - but unfortunately I don't reside in Australia so it's not really something I am going to really be able to pursue (especially over a sum of $50).

It is certainly a worry though when money just "disappears" and such events do not inspire confidence in using banks in order to purchase BTC.

Cheers,

Ian.

Hi.

I coded up an API for the World Bitcoin Exchange site a while back.

How would you like to be its first user?

I've done a bunch of testing, and it looks good to go, but so far we've not announced it as being available.

If you want to try it out, tell me your WBX userid, or openid, and I'll get you set up.

I prefer email ([email protected]) but PM here works for me too.

Chris.

Would love to buddy! Email sent.

I had started using WBX to buy Bitcoin but got caught up with their bank account being "frozen" near the end of November 2011.

I received an email from my own bank today telling me that ANZ (which was their bank) has stated that it will not return my money (not sure if that means the bank just decided to keep all the funds from the frozen account?).

With the very real chance of seeing your money just disappear like this I would be very wary to use any exchange that won't *guarantee* to return your funds in case of their issues with their banks.

Cheers,

Ian.

Hi Andre,

Great site, I've been trading on it a lot and make regular withdrawals. I asked a question a few weeks back about an API and you said "coming soon". Can you be any more specific (days/weeks/months)?

Looks like all is going quiet with WBX these days. My withdrawals are taking longer however they do still go through eventually. One question I had was, about the withdrawal reference field. I noticed that whatever I type in the reference field does not appear in my bank statements, instead a 4 digit number starting with 8xxx appears there.

'Price' box looks good.

Impressive to get requested features implemented and live within 24 hours.

Just please dont rush and Gox things up! Security and Accuracy when dealing with peoples AUD/BTC.

Hope to see some more volume coming in.

Hi Slothbag,

All new features are put through a testing phase on our dummy exchange before being released to the market on our live exchange, once we find that our requirements have been meet, launching a new feature to market can happen within 24 - 48 hours depending on the scope and complexity of the feature.

We want you to have the best experience when trading on our exchange, we have found the majority of our users come from mtgox, in order for our users to have the confidence to trade on our exchange we have mirrored some features (e.g 'Price Box') so the transition from mtgox to wbxAUD is easy and less confusing.

We agree not to rush things in the future we do pride ourselves on security and accuracy and we will en-devour to not put our users AUD/BTC at risk.

I hoped to have answered your feedback and appreciate all comments, this is what helps our exchange grow.

trade well - Andre

Hey guys, I emailed you about your listing on the GLBSE, I was wondering what the benifits of investing are. Its hard to understand for me the way you explain it. Is it worth it to invest if you're not in AUD? Do you give out dividend?

Hey Bitcoin Swami,

Not currently listed with GLBSE only with Bitcoin Markets, we do think it would be good business to offer dividends and shares in our company but trying to understand the structure of GLBSE is confusing.

If any one would like to explain please be my guest.

Trade well - Andre

Oh I'm sorry I got you confused with another AUD exchange that just listed itself. I think nefario can explain it better, but basically. You issue shares and people buy them and you pay out your profits to your shareholders. There is a voting process too. People can also trade the shares on the exchange just like people trade bitcoins. I agree the listing process seems a bit weird but the actual trading and paying your shareholders seems pretty simple. Its in its infancy right now, but I think once it gets more reputable companies up there it will be very big, IMO.

Good point. I'll take a few days off before adding any more features.

anyway good work thanks.

i like this 'mouse-only' trading Cheesy

I've just added a 'price' box on the 'trade' page. [ https://www.worldbitcoinexchange.com/?page=trade ]

Please have a play with it and tell me what you think.

Editing either 'have' or 'want' sets the other one, and editing 'price' sets 'want'. It works well for me on google chrome. I don't have easy access to Internet Explorer but I would hope that it will work there too.

If you use the 'trade' link on the right, it'll use the best available buy/sell price, switching between the two as you switch between having BTC and AUD, but as soon as you edit the price box, it'll stay fixed until you edit it again.

No 'buy-it-now' (tm) links yet. That'll wait 'til tomorrow.
