Something weird about that, though... Look at the depth of market. No bids shown... Or is there a cut-off below which bids aren't displayed?
Seems like a Mt. Gox bug.

Does anyone here have any experience or know of a way to create a new stock or mutual fund to be traded on the major exchanges? This stock/mutual fund could represent x bitcoins. If this stock/fund existed then people who have etrade, ameritrade, or similar accounts could buy bitcoins. Portfolio managers, hedgefund managers, etc. could pour money into bitcoins.
I think this could be HUGE...

Might it seem useful to at least some miners to buy from themselves some of the early bitcoins they created by mining, precisely for the purpose of creating an appearance of the saleablilty of BitCoins, but refraining from buying other people's BitCoins since they are not actually trying to spend dollars they are trying to keep the dollars themselves whilst making it look like people are parting with dollars? Yes, this is possible.

Wasn't something like this planned to be in the official bitcoin client? I thought Satoshi already had it about something like this.
Yes, but what if people don't have the bitcoin client running. What if they turn it on once a month. An alert system outside of bitcoin to tell users to turn it on.

I like this idea. What about using something like Twitter as the medium to spread the word?
I was thinking the same...Twitter, Facebook, email. I don't know know if I am the best person to be in charge of this alert service. What do you guys think? I already of a FB page which I can send a alert to in case something happens.

I am thinking about starting a Bitcoin Alert service. If someone hacks the network, we can have an alert service to email or txt everyone to turn on the latest version of the bitcoin client and start generating coins to protect the integrity of the network. What do you think?

********Alert*********
the market has spoken and decided that the rally goes on and is accelerating
Prices respected the trendline and has broken out to the upside
Further upside surprises likely
Parity by end January still possible
Excellente. Muy bien.

Ok... so basically you're advertising your blog on the forum for free. Great.
I realize some forums don't like this, but it appears to be fine here. While there aren't many I think it is helpful, eventually they should probably all go in one thread. I don't mind self-promotion if it is related to bitcoin.

Ripplepay is a single-server implementation of the Ripple decentralized payment concept. There's no distributed implementation yet. Designs for a distributed protocol are here: http://ripple-project.org/Protocol/IndexRyan Interesting...I had a hard time understanding the concepts...but nevertheless interesting.
