Hopefully the recent BTC rally will earn Bitfloor enough volume to release some more of the held BTC..especially in today's market.

I spoke with Roman the other week and he pointed out that this actually has ups and downs. The rally has helped volume on bitfloor, but it's also raised the dollar cost of buying coin, which is exactly what bitfloor has to do each time he makes a payment. (fees are earned in dollars)

I still use Bitfloor all the time, and generally never have any issues with them. It's way more convenient for deposits and withdrawals than MtGox. The only annoyance is that the buy and sell sides are a bit weak, and at times have a large gap between them, making it more expensive to buy there than at Gox. But that's just a low user problem, and I guess can't be helped.

Just wanted to relay my recent experience with Bitfloor:

I am one of the customers that have BTC being held due to the hack (about 61 BTC..around $2900 in today's terms..  Sad   )

Over this last weekend I decided to give Bitfloor another chance and sold about $850 worth of BTC and initiated an ACH withdrawal.

The transfer went smoothly and the money was in my bank account today.

Although I do wish Roman would be a bit more vocal about what is going on, at least to those with BTC being held, this experience has been a big first step in Bitfloor earning my trust back.


Hopefully the recent BTC rally will earn Bitfloor enough volume to release some more of the held BTC..especially in today's market.

Hoping to see a payout soon what's going on.  Is there another thread I should be reading.

In discussion I have called Roman out a couple times.  He has not responded.

Look for a thread in scam accusations next weekend.

I'm confused.  If I'm interpreting the chart correctly, it looks like Bitfloor has made ~3000 in revenue and paid back ~6000.  That means Roman must have paid back ~3000 additional out of his own pocket. What sort of scam are you alleging?

Let's give Roman a chance to reply to my questions in service discussion.

As for the rest, wait and see if I actually make a Scam post.

It looks like some of the text is cut off at the current size, do you want it to automatically generate a png?

This will automatically create "bitfloor.png" in whatever your working directory is. I'm not sure how familiar you are with R... to see the working directory run getwd()

Code:


#Get Data from bitcoincharts
bitfloor<-read.table("http://bitcoincharts.com/t/trades.csv?symbol=bitfloorUSD&start=0",

you may need to adjust these settings for your system, I had to play around with it:

Nevermind, I see it generates a pdf.  I can convert that to a png.

why can only withdraw via ACH and not ING p2p?
Because ING does not allow businesses to open accounts with the P2P capability. Bitfloor doesn't have an ING account. They just accept transfers from them.

owner could just open in his name

So Bitfloor still takes ING p2p deposits? I was on their site and could not find it.

I am currently at work so I cannot access the page but could someone show me where I go to do this?
Click on deposit. If you don't see the deposit tab you may need to log in first.

Yep, deposit->USD->ING P2P
