Does Intersango send transactions on the block chain for in house trading ? Gox only moves numbers in a database, any reason that Intersango doesn't do the same (if I understand it correctly).

Also, could you answer this Patrick:

wget --no-check-certificate https://intersango.com/api/ticker.php?currency_pair_id=3 returns

Code:
{"last":"7.77700","vol":"395.76003","buy":"7.65000","sell":"7.76922"}

How do I get 'high', 'low' and 'avg' ?
Pull trades and calculate them yourself. I dont include them because it's an unnecessary calculation for us to make.
I've looked around at your Api documentation page ( https://intersango.com/api.php), but couldn't seem to find the answer to this.

And why is https://bitcoinconsultancy.com/wiki/Intersango/API linked from https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Intersango/API unavailable ? It seems like bitcoinconsultancy.com have been down (http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/bitcoinconsultancy.com) for a while.

You've dubbed yourselves security experts, I take it that the takedown of bitcoinconsultancy.com means you're no longer calling yourselves security experts ? (tounge-in-cheek)

I have better things to do than review the entire SQL dump for bitcoinconsultancy.com

All the api information is on intersango.com

Thanks for the reply. Is there any reason why it is unecessary for you to calculate this ? Seems like mtGox and BTCe manages to do it well and provide it in their tickers.

I think this quote could be in place, posted by Genjix yesterday:

- Several other high-priority safety issues were identified to the Bitcoinica Consultancy team members at the time they took over operations.  For example a github issue tracker shows these items remained unaddressed: "Gox credentials are easy to steal (!)",   " Wallet.dat not being backed up (!)"  It was these types of security risks that Bitcoinica Consultancy was specifically brought in to address.

I guess those issues were unecessary to fix as well ?

The most secure system is one that is off.

Patrick what's happening with the withdrawals?

Are they down until the 26th to the 30th?

Or are they down now until the some time between the 26th and 30th?

The size of the receive wallet has outgrown the server it was operating on.

Would not a security expert anticipate this in advance ?
I deal with the Instawallet shared wallet, which is probably an order of magnitude larger than Intersango's, and yes, it takes a little while to boot up, but when it's done it runs fine and smooth.

Now that I think about it, it might be that they're using the 'accounts' feature of bitcoind, which scales terribly. So guys, protip, use a monitortx patch and let bitcoind notify your backend, just poll the client to update confirmation counts once it notifies you of an incoming block.

I seriously doubt that.

The wallet for intersango is probably larger than any other wallet except gox (who dont use bitcoind).

We've had people running arbitrage bots 24/7 for essentially a year at this point.

That's a LOT of transactions to record.

And no we dont use accounts, I was probably the first person to vocally tell people to not use that particular "feature".

Anyways this was triggered by someone spamming the wallet with a very larger number of small transactions, of course I've always known this could be an issue but dealing with it is mostly a matter of money I didn't do anything about it.

I have moved the receive wallet offsite onto a much more powerful system. (This also has the happy coincidence of being -- marginally -- more secure.)

The sent wallet will be moved to the same new system in the next few hours.

Sorry for the delays.

Guess this explains why my withdrawn BTC hasn't shown up yet.

Maybe you should reduce the font size to save disk space.

I guess even "marginally more secure" is always good to take with the Bitcoin Consultancy Wink

Glad I cashed out Intersango Accounts yesterday.

Meh,

I'm trying that since I've made a international wire withdrawal request on June 12th, with no success so far.

I actually believe now they stole money from Bitcoinica customers, so what's to stop them from robbing you as well?

I think there are more then a few bitcoin business that would benefit from some professional input in effectively communicating with their clientele.


+1 - and the strange thing is, it just isn't that hard to do.

"Bitcoind transfers are temporarily unavailable. Expected resolution within 24 hours, sorry."

Looks like trading resumed on http://bitcoincharts.com

You should never keep coins you can't afford to loose on an exchange, regardless keep the FUD to the Bitcoinica threads and let Intersango customers make their own judgements.
