Title: Mt.Gox used to have dark pool trading...
Post by: Este Nuno on June 13, 2014, 08:09:32 PM
I remember that being pretty interesting when people were buying and selling coins through the dark pool.

I'm not sure what to think of it really. I can see the advantages for large buyers or sellers in some cases depending on the state of the market.

Has a site ever considered bringing something like that back? Is it unethical to offer that(I have no idea, the whole thing confuses me a bit to be honest)?

i'm not a fan of dark liquidity. bitcoin tends to have such illiquid order books, that an analysis/strategy based partly on liquidity is not unreasonable. for example, catching those massive $20 slippage buys on Bitfinex.... :)
