Use of the Market
Those wishing to use the market must create an account. One registers payment processors through the Accounts page. This is a necessary step for trading currency.

History
Trading on the site began February 6th, 2010[1]
A major update to the site occurred in March, 2011. Among the changes were: smaller minimum trade size, 24 X 7 trading, and some steps to help ensure that payment will be made for trades that execute.
