History

The site was first announced on July 17, 2011 with test mode trading. Live trading began on August 7, 2011.

On July 31, 2012 the service reported a security incident in which halted trading and caused financial loss to the exchange. The exchange says it covered losses from reserves and trading resumed in a matter of hours.

On 2-Aug-2012 the service added an API for trading, but still lacks an API for bitcoin withdrawals (something offered by every major exchange).
