Title: A bitcoin stock exchange plateform
Post by: grondilu on January 08, 2011, 06:28:10 AM

After a few weeks of work, I finaly release my version of a bitcoin stock exchange plateform.

It's kind of a proof of concept, but it's for real, as I have already to owners of two shares (one eBay share and one DRDGold share).


Ownership is identified by the bitcoin address where dividends are to be paid.  Nothing else :  no GPG key, no DSA key, nothing but the paiement address for future dividends.

The site allows an owner to transfer some shares to an other bitcoin address, and thus to an other person.

Once transfer is possible, trading is possible.  But so far I don't offer any book keeping for order.  Trading and negociation must then be handled somewhere else (IRC, forum, biddingpond, whatever...)

Making a signature for transfer requires the use of bc_key, written by dirtyfilthy.  I whish this app was added to the main bitcoin client, but I suspect the dev-team is not keen on doing so.


The site is open source, so anyone could do exactly the same.

That's about it.  Here is the address :

Damn it.


By the way, I've added a "test share" which aims only in testing the plateform.

If you want one, just post a bitcoin address in this thread.

Hum...  I should have tested more.  I get an error when trying to transfer a test share to you.

Give me some time.

As a minor, I can own stocks? Outstanding.

Hum,  it seems that there is a bug with the installed version of openssl on freeshell.org.  The guys there don't seem much keen on doing anything about it  :(

A command such as :

openssl dgst -sha256 -sign <(openssl ecparam -name secp256k1 -genkey) -hex <<<test

works fine on my PC but returns an error on my website.


I have to find an other place to host my CGI script.

I can potentially host it for you for free, send me a PM if you want to set it up. I won't have time right now to work on it but can do it in the next several days.

I want this stuff to exist, even if I'm not the one who publishes it.  So I've just added it to github :
