For safety, please keep funds off-site when not trading.
To begin trading, navigate to the trade page, enter your desired amount and click buy. The trade will materialise in the orderbook and under your profile. You will not be able to view any information from other traders' accounts for privacy reasons.
You may cancel an order by viewing the desired order (found under your profile). Click "Cancel" to revoke any current orders.
The source code for this website is available online at github. We believe hiding the workings of a website is a poor substitute for good security.
Every page on the exchange has a header containing information about the market, split over a few lines:
It shows your current balances. Numbers in brackets after your balance indicate funds which you control but which are currently tied up in unmatched orders on the orderbook.
For example, "46 (+4) BTC" indicates that you have 46 Bitcoins available to sell or withdraw, and 4 more which you are currently attempting to sell on the orderbook. Cancelling your sell order(s) will make all 50 Bitcoins available to you.
Security is always paramount on the web and even more important with Bitcoin. The “ease of sending large funds globally” unfortunately has the potential to become the “ease of stealing large funds globally”. With this in mind SITE_NAME set out to find well qualified security experts. Our search led us to Dug Song, Jon Oberheide and their team at Duo Security.
How this will work for our users:
For detailed information visit their site at http://www.duosecurity.com/docs/authentication
We are offering 5 ways to authenticate your Intersango login. All are optional; if you do not wish to activate 2 factor-authentication it won’t be required. You can activate this by (clicking Security Use two-factor authentification in the right menu panel.)
Phone callback –
You will receive a call, push a predesignated key to
authenticate
Passcodes via SMS –
Duo will send you a set of passcodes used to login
Passcodes via Duo Mobile -
Your phone will generate a passcode (works offline)
Duo Push –
Your phone will be sent a request when you try to log in
Hard tokens –
We can ship you a physical token that will be used to login
for onetime fee of $20
The beauty of their system is how quick and simple it is to both implement and use. Within minutes you can be up and running. Additionally there are even more advanced security features for Duo Push. Selecting Duo Push will “push” a login request to your phone. You can review the specifics of the request (integration, location, etc.) and then approve or deny it instantly.

What will this enhanced security feature cost the user?
For the first month absolutely nothing. After you have evaluated
the system in our live environment, to continue the service we
deduct a small fee of $5.00 (or BTC equivalent) on the 1st of
every month. If we can justify charging less we will. To continue
receiving this service a minimum of $5.00 (or BTC equivalent) is
required in your account. Regardless in the absolute worst case
scenario this service will never cost the user more than $5.00 (or
BTC equivalent) per month. In the event the funds are not
available in the user account on the 1st of the month, your
account will revert back to regular "One Factor" authentification
immediately. You can opt out of the service at any time by
contacting us.
You can add additional phone numbers or remove a phone for a small fee of $1.00 (or BTC equivalent) by contacting us.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated as always. We would like to continue to provide you a safe and trusted place to exchange Bitcoins. Questions please email us at support@intersango.com.au
