Yeah, definitely save in memory. It will help people learn how to recognize a long con. This board is so dominated by the opportunist short cons that a real confidence men are hard to recognize.

I'll save some posts for history:

We are in the process of developing a better bitcoin exchange. Based in New York City and written by financial industry professionals, our goal is to be the fastest, most stable, and most secure bitcoin exchange.

We currently have a:
- simple web trading interface
- simple REST JSON API
- streaming TCP and UDP API

Currently we are running a testnet with fake USD and testnet BTC while we work on polishing up the system. We are inviting everyone to check it out and appreciate any feedback you provide.

You can see sample traders here: http://github.com/bitfloor

We are currently writing up some detailed information on our security. The bitcoin wallet and database is on a different machine than the rest of the system, and is not connected to the internet. Therefore, an attacker would have to hack the webserver and then use that to hack into the wallet/database server. All passwords are hashed with bcrypt so even in the unlikely chance that an attacker compromised the database, your password would not be decrypted even if it was weak. We have multiple bank accounts, so if the bank closes the account we are using we will simply start using another one. There may be some delays in USD withdrawals during that time but banks are not allowed to just take your money; we will get it eventually. Currently we use dwolla for everything, so there is no bank account to close.

We are pleased to announce that we are now offering a rebate for providing liquidity on our exchange. This means that if your order was on the book when it gets paired with another trade, you will be paid a rebate instead of being charged a fee. A more detailed explanation is on our blog: https://blog.bitfloor.com/?p=6

We have a page which details some of our security practices here: https://bitfloor.com/docs/security
We believe that from a systems engineering and cryptography standpoint, we have the most secure bitcoin exchange. Here's an example of the poor security practices at mtgox: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2676781
