Hi,

We restarted. Often it doesn't crash but for some reason stops downloading the block chain. We have set it to restart every 10 minutes regardless of weather it crashes or not. Hopefully this will resolve the issue permanently

would you mind restarting bitcoind again, please?

Hmmm... this morning it was working pretty fast. Now, I'm waiting for the BTC to appear for some hours, again. Maybe ask the guys from bitmarket.eu - they have the fastest script I've seen so far Smiley

The BTCs not appearing is a problem inherent in bitcoind which every week or two needs to be restarted. The way we have designed the new site we will have multiple instances of bitcoind running so this will not be an issue. Again, sorry about the delays yesterday, I do not have the authority to restart the bitcoind unfortunately.

Just as a brief remark - all BTCs arrived - just took a bit longer. Spruce was right Smiley

Today we had some complications which made us take longer than usual. Also EUR deposits which were received by today have been processed. We will try to do multi day processing and keep up with the load across all sites.

Strange - britcoin was always very fast (not more than 2 hours I'd say). Then I'll hope I'll see them tomorrow morning Smiley

I transferred some BTC to intersango.com this morning. For some reason, they are still not in my account, not even as "verifying". Is anybody else currently experiencing such problems?


Took my BTC at least 24 hours to arrive, both depositing and withdrawing. Got there safe and sound in the end, by carrier pigeon I guess. Smiley

We certainly have many plans to improve the site design and layout. The things you have suggested have been in the works for a while. The reason we have not updated them is because we have been building a design from scratch so hopefully very soon you will see totally new layout

Code:
Cost / BTC   Giving     Wanted
11            1 BTC      11 EUR
11            2 BTC      22 EUR

If I understand this correctly, the order book  has 3 share to sell @11 and 33 to buy @11 (why cant you just use "bid" "ask"?Smiley.
How is this possible and why are those trades not executed or are those sell orders orders "all or none"?

I didn't look earlier, but right now there are still those two open orders you noted but no open orders at all for people wanting to buy BTC at any price.

LOL. I went back to the Order book page an realized, I completely misread it (at the time there was no "People offering EUR for BTC".

Design suggestion 1:
Can you please place Bid and Ask as two columns next to each other.
It is easy to follow even when you have tens or even hundreds of bids and asks. No need to scroll up and down. 

Good example is  http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/mtgoxUSD_depth.html

Code:
Bid Ask
14.51 31 (1) 31 14.52 1 (1) 1
14.5 10 (1) 41 14.53 1 (1) 2
14.49 6 (1) 47 14.54 0 (1) 2
14.47 0 (1) 47 14.56 12 (2) 14
14.46 3 (2) 50 14.58 2 (2) 16
14.45 0 (2) 50 14.59 0 (3) 16
14.43 0 (1) 51 14.6 0 (1) 17
14.42 28 (5) 79 14.61 3 (2) 20
14.41 2 (2) 80 14.62 7 (1) 27
14.4 10 (1) 90 14.63 16 (2) 43
14.39 7 (2) 97 14.64 7 (3) 49
14.38 0 (1) 97 14.65 6 (3) 55


Really bad design:
BID (scroll like mad to find where Ask starts) 
Code:
....
14.38 0 (1) 97
14.39 7 (2) 97
14.4 10 (1) 90
14.41 2 (2) 80
14.42 28 (5) 79
14.43 0 (1) 51
14.45 0 (2) 50
14.46 3 (2) 50
14.47 0 (1) 47
14.49 6 (1) 47
14.5 10 (1) 41
14.51 31 (1) 31

Thanx for scrolling all the way down here:

Code:
14.52 1 (1) 1
14.53 1 (1) 2
14.54 0 (1) 2
14.56 12 (2) 14
14.58 2 (2) 16
14.59 0 (3) 16
14.6 0 (1) 17
14.61 3 (2) 20
14.62 7 (1) 27
14.63 16 (2) 43
14.64 7 (3) 49
14.65 6 (3) 55
....



Design suggestion 2:
Add small, lets say 5 offerings max, to your Trade page, right under Buy and Sell form
 
Code:
Bid Ask
14.51 31 (1) 31 14.52 1 (1) 1
14.5 10 (1) 41 14.53 1 (1) 2
14.49 6 (1) 47 14.54 0 (1) 2
14.47 0 (1) 47 14.56 12 (2) 14
14.46 3 (2) 50 14.58 2 (2) 16

Nice site, sepa transfer went smoothly too.

One suggestion: after logging in, instead of just showing welcome back, actually show the most recent activities or go straight to the profile page.

Edit: and another one that I would love: email notifications.

This is probably one of the simplest exchanges to use apart from Britcoin. I just hope it's similar to Britcoin with fast good service, quick turnaround times on withdrawals etc.

Thanks Genjix for all you do for the Bitcoin community Grin Grin Grin

The Intersango site looks exactly the same as the sister Britcoin site, but with a different colour. I've done a bunch of trades at Britcoin, and it works well, no complaints.

High volume sites are usually made with whitish colors. Just look at youtube for instance. The colors on your site is very sharp. Also, the beercoin exchange use the same software. Did you check that they honour the license,  ie. make the source available?

Congrats on your exchange. Fix up the colors and I guess it can be something good!

in my book bitcoin7 is the best exchange to buy for everyday use, that is spending btc, not investing. they allow payment with paysafecards, i.e. getting my bitcoins is a matter of minutes, not days. i walk into my cornerstore, give them cash, they give me a paysafecard-code, i enter this into bitcoin7 (5% fees) and can instantly buy bitcoins. dead simple.

i wouldn't do this for larger sums to invest, but for buying stuff at the few places i know that accept bitcoin, it is perfect.

disclosure: i have no affiliation whatsoever with bitcoin7 or any other exchange, and you are welcome to use any of them. i do not spread referral codes. thank you.

Receiving a SEPA transfer will cost 5 PLN (1.27 EUR). Your bank may have fees for sending a bank deposit. You are responsible for paying any incurred fees. If your deposit is insufficient to cover bank fees then it will be denied.

Is this value fixed? And what are the withdrawal fees? Also, how do you make money if you have no fees?  Grin

afaik, btcex doesn't offer EUR. And bitcoin7... well... they have quite high withdrawal costs and are not always actually user friendly... (the latter point is just my personal opinion!)

I saw already that there are other EUR exchanges such as btcex or bitcoin7... Wondering why they aren't used much.

Possibly people just use mtgox. We'll have to wait and see.

Cool, I was wondering why this didn't spring up sooner.
Glad it's someone I trust (Genjix) behind it.

We're working on EUR as well but Europe is a big place and there is room for a lot more than 2 or 3 exchanges.

Commissions? Bank transfer fees? etc...
And please, change this striped blue background, it hurts my snowblind eyes! Smiley



I second this - that blue background is awful.

no commissions (like britcoin) bank fees are paid by sender and depend entirely on which bank you send them from.  a more complete fee schedule for bank transfers will be forthcoming
