In the light of MtGox being, um, not so stable these days, I'm thinking of making a new exchange.

However, here comes the issue of trust. There are already a number of topics about the credibility of new exchanges which sprung up lately.

My proposed solution to this problem is transparency - an exchange where the ongoing transactions are anonymized and then published in an externally audited database.

The question is, what is better? completely opaque and anonymous (may feel more 'secure' to someone), transparent to some degree (e.g. with names and credentials replaced by salted SHA256), or totally transparent (even with public deposit/withdraw details) exchange?

I've got tired of http://bitcoin.atspace.com/income.html (since it only works once a day for me), and made my own

See http://tvori.info/bitcoin/charts/ . Suggestions welcome.

Displayed data:
* Historical profit chart (BTC, NMC)
* Last week profit chart

* current profit (All currencies)
* projected profit (accounts for next difficulty increase)

Data sources:
* BlockExplorer
* Bitcoin prices/profits: MtGox / BitcoinCharts (whichever ticker works at the time)
* Namecoin: Bitparking Exchange + MtGox.

I've installed Bitcoin on 2 machines - Win Srv 2008 x64, it seems to be ok
And on Win7 x64 it just appears in process list and writes to the log. No window appears.

Where should I look to investigate the problem?

UPD: I don't use MS Security Essentials, but Windows Defender is on. Should I turn it off?
