Let's cut to the chase.
10 @ 1.90

And to be clear, I'm rescinding my bids at lower price points, I'm not going to be buying more than 30 at this point.

30 @ 1.8

30 @ 1.77

31 @ 1.71 then.

32 @ 1.66

33 @ 1.64 then

Sorry, 33 @ 1.62

Which bot, or is it custom? Which exchange?

What kind of rules do you use?

I would just create a whole new blockchain, effectively an altcoin, local to Mars.

If you offered to buy and sell BitCoins into your system, it would initially stabilize at about the same value as BTC, and then afterward, it could do whatever you want. There could easily be exchanges that trade back and forth between the two local currencies.

Holding. Maybe investing in something.

I've used CampBX for a few weeks without problems. Their customer support turnaround isn't great and can be frustrating, but they seem to be a legit business who is following the letter of the law with regard to FinCen.

one cool thing about them is their referral program. I have a referral link (every CampBX user does). Mine is https://campbx.com/main.php?r=wvs48klhpI5

You can click on it or not, doesn't matter to me. But if people sign up with your referral link, they get a slightly lower commission rate (wish i'd known this when I opened my account, i didn't get it) AND the person who generated that referral link gets a small kickback. Full disclosure, I think my commissions have amounted to about $2.50 (USD, not BTC!) so far. But still, it's kind of nice.

There aren't a lot of surviving US exchanges, so I'm sticking with CampBX until something changes.

The 30 second turnaround and GPU inhibition seem interesting, but do we really need another altcoin?

Well, I have a BFL pre-order in. I think they'll deliver it, eventually. I suspect it will be worthwhile in the long run, but thie is Research and stuff does have problems.
