<h3>Help</h3>
<p>For safety, please keep funds off-site when not trading.</p>
<p>To begin trading, navigate to the <a href="?page=">front page</a>, 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 trader's accounts for privacy reasons.</p>
<p>You may cancel an order by viewing the desired order (found under your profile). Click "Cancel" to revoke any current orders.</p>

<h3>About us</h3>
<p>My name is Amir Taaki. I have been involved in bitcoin development for the past 8 months and have been one of its few active developers. You can see my posts at the <a href="http://forum.bitcoin.org/">bitcoin forums</a> under the name genjix where I have a solid reputation. I have developed open source software for: this exchange, a bitcoin stock market exchange, a bitcoin client (Spesmilo) and others.</p>
<p>For a list of my current projects please visit <a href="http://bitcoinconsultancy.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page">Bitcoin Consulancy's wiki page</a>.</p>
<p>Britcoin.co.uk is my decision to provide those living in the UK with a free exchange in order to promote awareness in the UK and allow UK residents to not miss out on the benefits of using bitcoins and being part of this great social change!</p>
