I just hope that Tradehill puts in captcha and/or many other security options that every typical bank has (phone texting), security questions, based off of IP changes, etc.  Otherwise I'll likely be moving everything out pretty soon until a more secure site pops up.  Tradehill has been great to me so far though!

I know this is overstated- but to anyone who doesn't have a TradeHill account, you can use this link to save 10% on fees:  http://www.tradehill.com/?r=TH-R12165



I guess they don't yet get enough manpower and equity to realize some sophisticated safety idea, nevertheless, they are moving fast.

The exchange business have very strong Networking effect, which makes the biggest one winner-takes-all . Our wrong trust over mtgox.com have made the later-comers a very difficult situation. People don't like to trade in a thinner market, if there is a market have more depth.

 I guess most of TH's energy were spend on the promotion job, but the security, the speed service and the coding have not get enough manpower and resources. The serious mistake have gave them a sudden opportunity  that they were not fully prepared.

Hope TH move on fast and sound. DO realize your responsibility to the bitcoin community. Don't give yourself any excuse to make mistakes.

I hate people giving themselves excuse when they made mistakes, such as Gavin said something that "he is human and he does make mistakes……“. OMG, can you hire or invite another HUMAN being thing to double check your damn code?

We implemented Captchas and account disabling features as soon as we went down last night.
To be honest we should have had them before. They're there now though and more features are on the way.

Tradehill, congrats to a smooth start this morning!  Site is slow, but that is to be expected with Mt Gox being closed

Bubbles don't trade in double-digits. Smiley

Glad they are open, should soothe some of the newbie fears. Though I can't help 'the end of bitcoin' trolls Smiley

We wanted to go through everything one last time.
It should be working fine at this point.
Let us know if there are any issues.

thank you.  and kudos for your decisions in the wake of the mtgox matter.

the site is obviously pretty stressed - but functional ATM, if quite slow.

i'm not buying or selling right now, but it feels much nicer having somebody up and working.

It's still 8 minutes to go, as far as my clock tells me - do you live in the future, ma'am/sir?

10:00 AM EST on 6/20, no Tradehill.

Another delay?  Where they hacked now? What's the deal?
