Hey guy's,

Before the code is released I wanted to see the level of traffic on Trade-Btc.com (http://trade-btc.com) reach a certain level. So once it releases 100k hits, or 10000 users the code will be released. This is mainly being done to have a certain level of hype around the release, because this will finally allow anyone with a small amount of coding experience to be able to run their own fully functional exchange.

100k hits is far more likely considering 10k users would make you bigger than Tradehill :P

And don't forget that it's an exchange working on the testnet and with no announcement or plan to become a real exchange

haha, will probably end up open sourcing earlier, just want to get some hype and some traffic to the site so people know about it.

Heard about the boy who cried wolf? You greatly over estimate how exciting people think yet another wannabe exchange site is.

It's not a "wannabe exchange." I am release the code for it. And there should be an idea of what the code they will be downloading is like.

You do realize that if the code looks good and people use it, they may be willing to send you a few coins. So, when do you now plan on releasing the code?

Release the code, get voluntary contributions and then get 100k hits.

This is the way it works, not the other way around. Don't believe me?
Fine, Gox will be around...

Bitcoin programmers expecting to get rich on their work will be disappointed. Eventually yes, when big business hires them, they have business saavy themselves, or a partner. For now, they will have to settle for simply being first and the honor that bestows.

Bitcoin central was first to open source at least 6 months ago.

Was going to announce it later, but apparently people are still pretty interested. Releasing on christmas day (25th of December).

That deserves an action figure in Team Satoshi. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=52765.msg629477#msg629477 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=52765.msg629477#msg629477)

So did this become open source on Christmas day?

So, dude, where is the code?

You realise we're already half way to the next christmas day, don't you?
