Hi there Y'all, I would like to start my own bitcoin trading/exchange site.

Does anyone one here have an idea where to start ?
maybe give me a hint or two ?

Thanks a lot!

Hey, got your PM.

The hardest part about setting an exchange up is not the technical part. It's the legal part.
I suggest you sort that out first, how will you operate, which jurisdiction, where will your bank accounts be, etc. etc.
When that's cleared out of the way, hit me up and I'll help you set up the bitcoin central code base for pretty much free.
Don't start by spending time on the technical side of things until the legal side is clear.

If you're serious about it, get a lawyer

In the US it is illegal to build your own currency exchange. They have to be licensed.

Bitcoins aren't a currency, one could deal with them using the less-than-1kUSD/customer/day MSB license exemption
