Someone posted this on reddit... Gemini has updated their site and the API documentation is now available.
What do you think of it, will Gemini be launching this week?
Take a look for yourself:
https://docs.gemini.com/
https://exchange.gemini.com

I signed up for early access months ago but still didn't receive anything.

Same for me. Nothing in the mail.

This is some exciting news.  Unlike your title it doesn't say anything about next week but crypto documentation is quite significant.

so they finally set it right, i'm waiting like no tomorrow the opening of they exchange, i am excited to know what good thing will bring

maybe i'll do some trade there if i find it comfortable enough

don't get your hopes too high. it's gonna be the same as itbit.

It seems like the API documentation is a month old.  There's questions whether they'll have FIX and websocket at launch.

The only reason people found this out recently is because people have also been getting their Gemini invites.  And that's another piece of interesting news.

No you will not do some trades there.
You will just continue spamming these forums with your signature campaign.

What is with all the hype for gemini? What is it going to bring that the other exchanges dont? Monsterous liquidity?

Hence why people buy on rumor and sell on news.

Title is misleading and outright false. APi has been up for a month at least, it's no news.

No announcement has been made regarding when gemini will launch, and no specific date was given during their fireside chat.

Every f@ckin time...

The plebs think the Winklevii will bring them Wallstreet riches, as they are the ones behind it the hope is the supposed veil of wallstreet-iness surrounding them will also surround Gemini.

If you build it they will come!

People have been getting Gemini Invites today.

Are you one of those people? :D

that's great news, but let's not expect too much from it in the early stage. if there is really demand for such an exchange it will have a great impact on the price.

Yeah , I also have doubts whether he actually trades.  Amph loves to spew random advice and comments.

 I would expect an announcement by the Feds that it is accepted to do such first ..then wait a couple weeks after
for them to actually launch when they get their ducks in a row and contact folk etc..imho it is how such stuff usually goes ..they can't just turn it on
next week imho w/o such an announcement and go/no go from the powers that be first.

(assuming they don't have before hand knowledge)

just saying not a slam

I don't trade, never have. I buy & HODL in the hope that my investment in bitcoin will really pay off in the future but the imminent opening of Gemini could be really good news for the price of bitcoin, I'll of course be happy if the opening can give the price a decent pump.
Can we expect them to begin trading soon? I see a lot of rumours but nothing substantial, no official confirmation anywhere.

not random at all, i find my advice to be good enough(modesty aside), and i'm actually doing some trade, but on 1broker, not on a normal exchange

I can't see much price impact. There are already 'legit' options that have arrived relatively recently and nothing much has changed. It probably is a key part of getting the SEC to warm to their ETF so that's the really important part.

Yea it's sequential I would assume. First the get Gemini up and then later will come the ETF. Will the ETF be tradeable on Gemini once approved by the SEC or will it only be on NASDAQ? Either way getting gemini up is an important step for the Winklevoss.

Don't forget the coinbase exchange "to the moon" hype and the consequent crash. History repeats itself.

I have been waiting for ages, I can wait another week. Gemini is a major player, it will enable all the clueless people with money to get on Bitcoin safely and a regulated non sketchy way. The days of the Mt Gox era are starting to look more and more like a nightmare of the past that will not happen again.

so are itbit, coinbase, circle, and other people providing "regulated" ways to get in. it's not gonna make much of a difference. It's just an excuse for people to hope it will bring up the price, but in reality, it's gonna be the same result.

What I am hoping for is major use cases of btc, utility vs exchanges.

Yeah Gox took advantage of bitcoin being in its infancy & regulation/controls being lax. I'd like to think nothing that horrific will be repeated in our growing community.
Gemini as you say will change the game, older non tech savvy people will be willing to invest & that's where the big money is tbh, the people who can make a difference.
I really hope we get an opening date soon, I'm more excited about the COIN ETF though, that will be huge.

Its about fucken time. Its good to see these twins get 1 thing done out of the way.

Hopefully the etf is around the corner too?  :)

.....and the pump has already begun!

Sum of parts taking usage higher, investment from 2014 kicking in.

coinbase has a nasty customer support staff, some days are good most days are off.

I feel like them launching the right way will help support our btc price. As for utility, its already being a form of money laundering for gambling sites, so I dont know what else its used for as utility.

It would be useful if they offer a debit card that people can instantly withdraw to from the exchange. If it had no sky high charges it would be even better. Bitstamp offers one with ridiculously high charges and I'm not sure if you can make withdrawals from it at an aTM.

usually they talk a lot, so i agree with you on this. this time their actions will speak. i hope it will lift bitcoin in general. the need for such an exchange is high.

Hello.
What is Gemini? What will it provide of new?

I think nothing. Its just gonna be another exchange but there is hype around it because its founders, WinkleDee and WinkleDumb are somebodys (apparently).

Good grief, the amount of new accounts this numb nut makes is simply astonishing. I've been talking bitcoin to this one older dude (that day trades oil and gold futures w/ some other guy from NYC) that I work w/ for over a year and he's been long awaiting for the Winks to get Gemini up and running. There are legions of traders that are waiting for this kind of regulated exchange to get up so they can trade in bitcoin in relative safety. Plus, there's an aura/buzz around what these Winks are up to.

I assume you were talking about brama making numerous accounts and not me?

Perhaps you are right about Gemini being the #1 exchange. I dunno. It's not like there's a shortage of exchanges out there at the moment though. Also, perhaps these twin brother chaps are a big deal but to me they are just the dicks out of the movie, "the social network". So granted, my knowledge of who they are and what they have achieved is not coming from the best source, but I know that the characters in the movie will be dramatised, so I'm not deliriously saying it's fact. But seriously.... what great success have they brought to the world before?

remember that bitcoin is still tiny compared to the whales in the Wall Street markets.  Gemini will bring bitcoin investment exposure to main street investors. I think the bitcoin price may go up to $5,000 if there will be a big demand.

Unlike the Coinbase launch, Gemini has been actively looking for institutional investors and market makers.

I guess one could consider Coinbase more 'retail' and Gemini more institutional.

The mention in this post http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/3a20bl/daily_discussion_tuesday_june_16_2015_part_2/cs8thpe

doesn't seem to have been picked up elsewhere. I don't know if it has any veracity at all.

my day trader friend asked me the same thing the other day. most traders are actually want to know if theres a exchange that wont flop on them.

he asked me so hows anyone trading on bitcoin, and are you trading at all? I answered, nope cause you cant buy and sell like on think or swim putting in orders then getting out lol.

these guys (brothers) cant make winkdex to work. there is no way gemini will work

Coinbase announced instant buying and selling of Bitcoin.

Was this just a coincidence to collide with Gemini's launch or was it well-planned strategy?

It was probably well thought. Coinbase is one of the leading markets. After all it's all a big competition to steal volume from your competitors, and Gemini will be a big one.

I'm crazy impatient to see what is going to happen...That's because it is great news! , it'll  be one more door of entry for people to buy bitcoins.

agree. i slightly see it's possible

Back in mid June, OP wondered if Gemini might go live "next week". Unfortunately it didn't.  Does anyone have new info or care to speculate?

Now would be a good time for the brothers to kick shit into high gear and launch the ETF and gemini.

"Two weeks", bitches.

Source brother.

There isn't one. That's the standard time frame to keep hopes up among people waiting for Bitcoin miracles.

Ah OK  ;D
