And the trading system is like something from medieval times it would only take a small amount of code to calculate how many bitcoins you can buy with the amount of money you type in, instead they use this draconian method and you end up with an obscure amount of currency left in you're account like 0.04 pence, it's a wonder how people trade on this site.
You mean, like the vast majority of exchanges and trading systems? They even show you the total value of your order before you submit it...
Now for some balance:
As a UK Citizen with a GBP bank account, almost every withdrawal I've ever made (I'm a miner to the extent of a few gigahash, so I never really need to buy to finance my bitcoin spending...) has been done via intersango. Looking back through my history I've been cashing out a few hundred pounds per month there since back when it was Britcoin.
I have never had a withdrawal take more than 2 days, and the fees are pretty minimal too.
Given all the horror stories of people waiting months for four and five figure payments from Mt Gox, I would imagine Intersango isn't exactly a great risk comparatively...
Ok let's examine this statement.
1) I tried to withdraw from Intersango and a week later they still couldn't work out what was going on "VS" your claim of never more than 2 days.
2) Gox are continually improving the way they do things, and have good customer support and are never abusive like those ASSHATS at Intersango.
3) The trading system at Intersango is CRAP if you want to buy £100, worth NO you have to type in how many coins you want, which leaves left over money.
END OF RANT
This is a warning to other ASSHATS,...... don't bother you will get a comment like the ASSHATS in the above posts.
