Yea, is the average number of BB users up too? Ive checked randomly the last week or so and its averaged 600 but today its closer to 800?

Also, is there more trades going on the last 24 hours?

Did you see this?

If this is true and MtGox stops accepting or suspends dwolla deposits we'll have the perfect storm of no cash coming in, nervous people and miners continuing to sell at a steady clip.  Still seeing $40 short term in that situation?

Just that rumor was enough for me to sell half my mined BTC immediately (all of 3.38 of them  :P)

Is this really going to be a problem? It seems obvious that Dwolla will end up eating this and not let it happen in the future. Otherwise Dwolla is pretty much done altogether. If Dwolla is done that will suck for a while.

I never thought about this, but the bitcoin price is probably largely based on Dwolla.

less dwolla -> higher BTC price ?

Nope. Less dwolla -> less money available to buy BTC -> more people willing to sell BTC for less -> lower BTC price... at least initially. Same way that no euros in MtGox means lower prices across the board.

Put another way: less dwolla -> higher dwolla price.

i think less Dwolla pricier BTC because it will be more expensive using other means for exchange

compare rates of loading Dwolla and moving to exchange for instance with loading exchange through Liberty Reserve, wire, etc., those transfer and exchange fees would reflect price of BTC

Yup, that's why I said initially... give it a few days and people will find a way around it. If you ask me, the whole dwolla/liberty reserve system is ridiculous in the first place. Why can't I go to my bank's website and just send the money to Mtgox, Tradehill, CampBX, the same way I do with Virtex, is just beyond me.

That's how I do it. Direct to MtGox (well via Technocash) from ING Direct online Bank account. Funds arrive within 24 hours.  ;D

Oh, so that option DOES exist for Americans as well? I thought it was just for Canadians through Virtex and Europeans through Sepa transfers... good to know.

It indicates how many people are watching the market via one of many sites.... So, not much.

Because when nothing was happening only 220 people were watching on average.



With 800 players involved, there is a lot more money being passed around.

The website has a counter there, so, just watch the counter, and whoever might be interested can watch it also. This thread is useless

Tell me how many persons are spending bitcoin on transactions for goods and services and I'll understand the importance of the thread. That's how you see the value of bitcoin, not by how many speculator vultures are watching a line in a mtgox site  ::)

I Think a lot of people are having troubles (today) with Clarks Moody tool, so the "realtime" movements can be watched in mtgoxlive.

Appear to be some new changes that are done in the server of mtgox WebSockets

Possibly someone generated a lot of "viewers" just to see the reaction in this thread.

I guess the indicator is kind of useless now. :P

Forget MtGox Live.  MtGox Websockets have been down for a few days now.  Tried to connect from two separate internet connections.  MtGox should get onto this quick, as it affects some bot traders.

Works for me (however it felt down few times during last day).

Edit: You're right, it's down.

hey Slush, your Sierra Chart plug in still work?

Yes, simply use -w option to switch off websocket, it will use only bitcoincharts.com polling. Actually that's the reason why I though mtgox socket is working; I overlooked that I'm using -w already ;).

is it still 0.2?

Post by: slush on October 28, 2011, 02:03:03 AM
No, it's 0.3 for pretty long time. It adds MtGox multicurrency support and also use better (more stable) websocket library. Follow link bellow...

geez why are all the prices diff btwn 0.3, mtgoxlive, and bitcoincharts?


Title: Re: Number of users connected to MtGox Live
Post by: slush on October 28, 2011, 02:19:34 AM
bitcoincharts - probably most accurate data, they ask old mtgox's api (polling)
sierrachart - uses bitcoincharts data, but bitcoinchart is serving delayed data (20 min?). So using websocket (if it works) is definitely better solution.
mtgoxlive - because websocket is broken?

sierra charts 0.3 -w websocket is delayed vs mtgoxlive next best vs bitcoincharts direct the best.
