Latest News: Drug carrying drone crashes into Brooklyn Bridge, spreading $1.5millionUSD of Cocaine on the road. Several motorists were seen to stop their vehicles and began snuffing the white powder before being taken by the previaling wind(the poweder) and later the police(the motorists). The developer of the drone believes that it was the use of a float instead of a precision decimal that caused the crash.

On closer inspection, these are loafers. In other words, I hand't read the op's explantion correctly, that it doesn't actually trade in real USD.

OP mentions he's looking for an anonymous exchange, well look no further.

It's something we need, and all it takes is someone willing to give it a go.

I don't know how you'd go about doing this but yeah, I second Atlases sentiment.

The book was ok, as a story meh. The characters in the book are too 1dimensional. All the men that Ms. Taggart admires are all copies of each other. All the bad people are the same etc.

However, this wasn't meant to be a great novel, but Rands Magnum Opus for her philosophy.

There should be someone along here any minute to tell you  about a turd finally dropping from the ass.

With regards Rand herself, from what I've read she was so uncompromising that by the end of her life she had almost no friends. She stuck to her philosophy but it cost her.

For the stock exchange we need to have a typical contract to use for each certificate. Of course there will be plenty of non-standard ones but we needs something to start off with, and the examples below need to be filled out.

Any additions or removals or changes are welcome.

Share Certificate
Terms
The organisation that this share is for is X company

It defines that the holder/owner of this certificate owns one share of X company.

This entitles the owner to one vote per share in any resolutions that require shareholder passing, such that a majority of 51% of all shares or more is required to pass a resolution.

This entitles the share owner to a dividend, a payment of a portion of X company's profits, divided equally among all shares, paid at the end of each quarter.

All profits earned by X company will be paid to shareholders as dividends.
And that each quarter the companies accounts must be signed off by an outside accountant, that has the approval of the shareholders.
Signed, X company CEO Mr Blah.
Signed, X company Secretary Mr Blo.
Signed, X company Treasurer, Mr Doe.


Future Contract

The organisation that this contract is for is X person.

It defines that the owner/ holder of this contract shall receive X amount(1 kg, 1 bushel etc.) of X goods/commodities/processed materials on X date, not including cost of delivery.

Signed Mr X, producer of X goods.

Bond
The organisation that this contract is for is X corp.

It defines that the holder of this bond will receive X amount of bitcoins by X date, deposited to their account on the stock market.

Signed X corp CEO.

Also a question, who was able to withdraw more out of the system than normal and how?

I know the bitcoin wallet balance was 4BTC when I made the system available, now there is something like 3.2, it should still be 4btc (unless I had a practive order there that I'd forgotten about).

I'll be checking the records (all transactions have been well recorded.) to find out just what happended but it would make debugging easier.

Thanks to everyone for trying it out, and thanks for pointing out any bugs.

Announced doesn't mean working, he's trying to get it started, which is fine but there are still some problems with it.

Once we have a working prototype then great, once all (most) parties are satisfied then go for it.

Bringing the server down to fix some issues that have been brought up, thanks for testing, this is exactly what we needed.
It will be back up again in less than 24 hours and with more features/bug fixes.

Fixed that, give it a try again.

Although it's good that you've gotten to that point, it means that the client installed without any problems.

The error was caused by a line not being commented out (I had already fixed this, popped up again for some reason).

We have twitter!
All market orders and trades are posted to @bitcoinglobal

Format is this
order:quantity:price:asset_id:timestamp

orders can be buy,sell,trade or cancel
quantity is an intiger
price is also an integer, its the int64 representation of bitcoin, so 1btc will be 100000000 0.1btc is 10000000 and so on.
asset_id is a SHA256 string
timestamp is a unix time format integer

So any buy or sell orders you make will be available, along with their asset_id's

I've updated user_id's and asset_id's to use sha256 as sha512 was too long for twitter (and kinda too long anyway).

I would recommend everyone who has already started to re-run the register command and re-register, and to use git to get the latest commits, there have been some changes in the client.

And another good piece of news, it works on windows!!!
Easy to use instructions are available here

Well the source is there, go ahead and use it.

Maybe he's lookig for a friend 

I think some kind of simple double entry accounting system/package would be nice.

Forgot to actually commit that fix (for register) sorry about that.

Best telecommunications? Really? Is that a joke?

Thanks for checking, I've fixed that(I think, at least in Chrome, FF, IE6), should be centered now.

Well they are limited, there is what, only about a few Trillion of them? So don't go using them all up too soon.

Somalia, since they don't actually have a government(well they do, but it's more a city council than a government).

Thanks bluematt, that's working now.

I'll update the look of the website later today.

Oh ok,I see what you mean. thanks kiba and malditonuke
