==History==
 
 
 
The Bitparking range of pools and exchanges originated when the operator started one of the first public bitcoin mining pools in October 2010 <ref>http://bluishcoder.co.nz/bitcoin-pool/ Bitcoin Mining Pool</ref>. After that pool was closed Bitparking opened as a BTC/NMC exchange on June 03, 2011<ref>[http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=11694.0 Announcing Bitparking Namecoin Exchange!!]</ref> and followed with a Namecoin mining pool. Over the Bitparking's history it has operated exchanges and pools for ixcoin, i0coin, ppcoin, and others but they have since closed.
