Topic: Bitparking Terracoin Exchange [closed] (Read 3596 times)
Man, withdrawing my money from your exchange is one of the saddest things I've done in a long time!
Recent events have shown that running an exchange is way to risky and stressful to me in the current alt coin climate. Prices have risen to a point where I'm not comfortable I can provide a reasonable level of service. To this end I'm closing the exchange and encourage all users to move to vircurex. The following details are on the exchange site:

2013-04-05: The Bitparking exchange is closing down. I've decided the risk involved in dealing with the current high prices for the alt coins has moved from the 'fun hobby' level the exchange originally started with and requires a more serious approach to operation. I've been in contact with the Vircurex exchange and I encourage all existing customers to move their funds and continue trading their.
The exchange will close trading Friday 5 April 2013 22:00 and new deposit addresses will not be able to be created. Trading operations will also be disabled. Withdrawals will be available for a few days after that at which point the exchange will close and all funds sent to their emergency withdrawal address. Withdrawal fees are removed during this period. Thanks for using the exchange and enjoy a better and more professional experience at Vircurex.

Exchange is down while I do the mandatory terracoin version upgrade.
Edit: Exchange upgraded and operating again.
Edit: Exchange upgraded and operating again.
Exchanges are back up now.
Gotcha!
Thanks for the update!
All the bitparking exchanges are down for a bitcoind upgrade to 0.8.0. This is taking a few hours to redo the blockchain. It should be up in an hour or so based on progress so far.
I'm getting errors trying to access the exchange; it was working a couple of hours ago.
Tried the litecoin bitparking exchange, and it was down as well.

I signed up for an account on this exchange Friday and made no deposits. Today trying to log in with the same Google ID, it doesn't seem to recognize me and wants me to sign up all over again (with emergency withdrawal addresses, etc). Do the accounts get pruned if they are not used within a certain period?
It won't ask you to go through the sign in process unless you are clicking "Sign Up" again. Make sure you put in your user id in the box next to the "Log In" button and click that. Your user id is the one you selected when signing up initially. Thanks; that clears that up. (I'm an idiot.

Out of curiosity- why use separate (and different) addresses for BTC and TRC when you generate deposit addresses? The private key will be the same, so wouldn't it be easier to just generate it once? Also, users don't have to worry then about sending the wrong coin to the wrong address, as their TRC will always end up in their TRC account and vic versa.
Ease of implementation. The exchange is based on existing code for other alt currency exchanges which don't have the same addresses formats. It's a good idea for a future update though, I hadn't considered that now that there is private key import/export features in the RPC API.Makes sense, great work by the way. We really appreciate it. :-)

But why these exchanges are independent, is there any way share the balances across these bitparking exchanges? Otherwise, it is needed to transfer them by using the network and it's slow.
I can imagine it's safer this way. But, I guess it would be nice to move your BTC around.

Ahhhhhh, I see... My fault... So. the bottom number represents the total volume then... Good to know, thank you...
Right, it was the easiest way of showing total exchange volume for various price points. 
Also, the amounts in the "sell orders" column seem a little screwy...
The column on the right is a cumulative sum. It shows the total of all TRC up to the given price (ie. all rows above it).Ahhhhhh, I see... My fault... So. the bottom number represents the total volume then... Good to know, thank you...
