History
A story of firsts:
CampBX was the first Bitcoin trading platform to launch on Testnet [2]. This allowed Bitcoin users to try out CampBX without risking their Bitcoins on an unknown website. Following a major CBX Testnet opened for public trial on June 21st, and in the following 15 days handled trading of ~90,000 testnet coins. CampBX trade engine supported multiple advanced trading features like Margin Trading, Short Selling, Advanced Order Execution like FOK (Fill-or-Kill), (AON) All-or-Nothing orders, Stoploss, and custom expiry dates for orders.
On June 28th, we went through a rigorous third-party security audit by McAfee Hacker Safe (McAfee Secure) and two more white-hat auditors. As our commitment to transparency, we shared the results of the audit in a public forum [3]. CampBX obtained compliance with 7 security standards including PCI (Payment Card Industry) compliance, another major first in the Bitcoin world.
We ended the testnet phase and opened for trading following the Independence Day on July 5th, 2011 [4]. As we grow, we are determined to continue this tradition of security, transparency, and customer service.
