is down for me (1.0 prod)

this is 2.0 unrelated but I noticed http://charts.glbse.com/markets/ stopped updating charts 1-2 days ago.
did the subscription ended or the operator finally sold the service (he was looking for buyers at irc)
or the stream of data is broken or the receiving part is down.

and it's dangerous, just like real mining
http://www.bitcoinminingaccidents.com/?p=271 Bitcoin Miner Who Reported Brain Damage Tells All

I traded bitcoin for mining shares in two waves (in glbse). first some play money to see how it works (and how it does not)
followed by my rig fund after talking to a friend of mine who is mining and deciding I don't want a rig anywhere near me.

my list why not to mine in person but rather join a collective and buy in via shares
- they are noisy (GPUs)
- lot of work to setup and tweak
- they require monitoring & interventions

good luck & thanks for strengthening the network!


and if you invest .20 btc, collect dividends for 3 years to reach .50 btc withdrawal limit?

OK - partially fixed - I see now the stocks in the respective TICKERaccount and can issue valid sell orders; looks better now (can see the stock, but it does not trade)

NOK I can not buy the shares from my BTC account. they are visible but cannot trade them. again a time / trigger issue?
I hope it's similar as when I did buy BTCSYN shares before they IPOed (the first two orders paired immediately after IPO were mine 2+10 shares that I created in advance) and my IPO only needs to mature or be triggered somehow.

have setup the same uname/pwd if you'd like to have a look

affects release 14/3/2012

also I'd love to suggest usability improvements (adding spaces or separators between accounts; improving order in which cursor jumps between fields if user prefers keyboard and just presses Tab to switch fields in the form; and just maybe also design tweaks) low prio.
that I'd address 'later' at your convenience (or sooner, to have screen shots for the user guide - screen shots that would not change much, I'm not willing to spend time updating the documentation & testing, it's either or for now)


long shot idea to guerilla QA and documentation - setup an independent project with use cases, maybe even sikuli scripts to automate testing and develop user guides. with focus on testing and developing use cases first.

thanks a lot! I'll retest in a few days, latest on weekend

cant find my stock after 2nd third IPO. the issue assets link is inactive and despite using the time 'now' I only see the asset in the assets list but nowhere the 1001 shares. the guide was somehow informative but did not help much. I does not answer why the shares do not appear when the date comes. and also what are all the supported formats. yyyymmddhhmm would be nice, default gmt and no summer time BS?

I've read that conversation but many might not be familiar with that and 'goat's' opinion. he wants strong and valuable stock, it's just harder to keep the price stable

> people who bought the IPO wanting to sell out

maybe if your stock was 1:20 cheaper the price would not drop occasionally by 25% and could absorb supply easier
just my rookie observation and sticky idea that whoever sold at 2, 2.40 and prices like that could not wait for an ask around 2.80-3 to be filled. whenever will people 'sell out' they can drag the price through basement.

that order should have been paired or at least partially matched with existing asks, which is not the case. Wonder why.
it's a nice site btw, spent there April-May last year.

@gewure I'd say you're right. 1700 btc went to BTCSYN, 500 btc went to TyGrr-bank, M.ETF collected capital and this might have caused sell off of other stock at glbse. spread is high for some stock and/or the bids very low compared to usual prices (avg or IPO). i think this means that liquidity is bad. and RSM did not yet finished IPO while the shares started trading at loss (but that asset has issues on its own). I agree that glbse could use more capital but on the other hand, it's interesting to observe as is. I came for the experience and (self)education it provides and I learn a lot. If things would be perfect, I might loose less money but also learn less : )

p.s. I've found out that second life capital exchange exists as well, is 4 years older than glbse and we can learn from them as well.

tx is short for transaction. you don't want to see which transaction in the block chain is this trade?
that's for the meaning of my post

and "somebody else already said he was legit..." is _very_ dangerous assumption to trust all you read here

there is no missing week. the latest post from fizzisist refers to a week that started March 5th
this is how he reports the periods for which dividends were paid

hi folks,
the http://btcsyn.com/financial page should only display last 100 entries (so I've heard) and since the switch to p2pool the payout is for every block that is found (instead of a mining payout 2x day) we will soon loose the tx history for early transactions and slowly also medium history and so on.
one shareholder offered help with accounting, I call him (yes, you) to cooperate in spontaneous control of the published numbers. PM me or reply here. I'm collecting the data every few days to be able to reconstruct the flow of bitcoins in and out and have an independent view of the syndicate's balances. observing, providing alternative view (even if the numbers should be the same). It does not have to be this public (this forum or the syndic forum) but I believe it should be done. I'll try to post bi-weekly updates of my observations and am willing to disclose them for a peer review before posting.

bitcoin accounting is relatively new and has its specific issues (p.ex. there will always be unbalanced accounts while waiting for 120 blocks maturity of new coins) plus syndic specific book entries like the unpublished gox history and operational spendings (glbse fees, forum advertisement). I'm not interested in all of it. I'm just interested in keeping the most important records and see if we come to the same conclusions.

you can login as my test user and repeat the steps yourself. if that helps to troubleshoot more easily, my test account's uname/pwd is not a secret
edit: I can not find the stock I created in the ipo, that's why the cunning test case to try to sell them anyway.
I would really appreciate some help with this new version from the user point of view. how it's meant to be used
that could also save _all_ testers time needed to test this black box thingee

Thank you / Kiitos !

I would like to buy. My address for this tx is 1Q671cax34RoFny1yCfQm6hCHmUANUGezu
I have send you my web of trust id in PM.

rather https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=48752.140
or something with .new in the url to fetch latest messages.

as for the new pfga asset on glbse, still watching closely this thread

you see your mistake?

hint take your hands of the pockets if counting on fingers. it's not decimal anymore
it would be 40% if the price on your mind was 0.35
hard to tell or choose, it changes daily

edited & big thumbs up for the fixed stats. I like graphs
