It makes me sad and pissed off that so many smart people here (me included!) get run over by trading.

I'm interested in putting together some quant tools, some portfolio management and position sizing tools, etc, etc, and working with other people here, so that we can have some education to move us away from gambling towards real wealth creation (a la a hedge fund type system)-- probably in a something like a club, at first. I have to program quite a bit of architecture first, so it's a ways off. The tools would allow us to essentially customize our approaches and handle multiple API's on multiple coins and exchanges. You could say I'm just past the 'napkin drawing' stage.

The big question is whether 382.21 is the new all time low?

Is anyone having any issues with deposits of Quark to Vircurex? My first two confirmations happened quickly, as expected, but the Accounts page in Vircurex has been showing 2 confirmations for the last 10 minutes. I assume this is on Vircurex side.
