[LTC-GLOBAL] The Litecoin Global Virtual Stock Exchange - Public Beta

[EskimoBob]

Do you accept non LTC/BTC/*C related projects to your exchange?

Do you accept non LTC/BTC/*C related projects to your exchange?

There are no limitations in terms of the projects outside of the moral/legal realm.  It has to be legal in Belize, and obviously it has to be morally acceptable to the mods/voters.

Naturally, the trading of the asset will be in either LTC or BTC, depending on if you go with litecoinglobal.com or btct.co.

Cheers.

Big CSS facelift this evening.  You may have to purge your cache or CTRL-SHFT-R to see it.

Hope everyone likes it.

Dev update:

- Bunch of css bug fixes
- Big revamp of the Portfolio "Dividends" tab.  Now ordered by ticker, and gives all-time totals for the asset.

Cheers.

I submitted a new security but I am not sure was it sent or not.
After I clicked "I agree..." button,  I ended up on empty white page that had the sites top menu and that's it

If you submitted ART, it appears to have worked fine. Good luck.

Hope everyone likes it.

The rounded corners look good but I think you really need to do something with the header/footer. I remember that style from the late 90s. You don't need a fancy header with logo but something more similar to the content style would look better. Like the Bitcointalk header.

A scalable value/volumen graph would be nice. This is the only thing where Bitfunder outclasses LTC-Global.

I agree.  I don't like the header either.  The colors from bitcointalk are just about right... hmmm...

With the graphing, I've done scaling graphs before on a couple projects.  Would definitely be nice if you could zoom in and out.

Cheers.

Good charts are always welcome. But you can use something like: http://www.highcharts.com/ . No need to invent the wheel

Dev Update -- New Dividend Reinvestment Program!  (DRIP)

Here's how it works:

- You head to the Portfolio page, click on the My Dividends tab.
- It will show you all of your past dividends on any assets you have held.  You will also see the text: "Reinvest At Max Ł XXX Per Share"
- Check the box and set the maximum amount you are willing to pay for shares of the asset, then click "Go".
- As your dividends from that asset build up, you will see: "Dividend History: LTC-GLOBAL       Ł 4.184882 Has Accrued"
- When you accrue enough to afford a new share, the system will automatically purchase it for you at the lowest market ask price!

** Note that even if you show accrued dividends on the shares, we do not withhold this amount from your wallet balance.  Thus you have to leave your accrued dividends in your wallet if you want to have enough coin for the system to actually make the purchase when the time comes!

Cheers.

If you are a moderator and you have questions, please feel free to send me a PM and I'll open up a new forum thread with the answers.

Cheers.

You have to unlock it before mods can vote on it. 

It defaults to being locked when created so that you can fine tune it in the interface and/or let it sit, reserving the ticker.

Cheers.

Since you unlocked the the asset I got already 4 votes in less than 12 hours.
The project seems interesting. I have three questions:
1. What is the minimum amount of shares you have to sell to buy your first equipment. What are further tranches?
2. Can you post pictures of the purchased equipment?
3. What city/country are you based?

Cheers, it's up and open fro trading as of now.

1. What is the minimum amount of shares you have to sell to buy your first equipment. What are further tranches?

We need to sell about 40K shares but I rather not write this in stone. If we get close to 50K, in a reasonable time frame, I think we are better off selling additional 10-15K (depends, what the exchange rate is) shares and go for a larger purchase (saves on transportation etc). I'll play it by ear at the moment and see how well the shares sell. Lets see, how it goes and I'll adjust the plans accordingly. I already found some equipment that can be used in few weeks and it will serve us as backup in the future.

2. Can you post pictures of the purchased equipment?

Yes, everything we buy, will be photographed and pictures posted.

3. What city/country are you based?

I really like to keep it under the radar until the equipment is on it's way.    Pictures of the shop, equipment etc  will be all published when time is right. I am not trying to be "mysterious" here. Hopefully you understand.

Big dividend this evening.

BTC-TC had 23.178 BTC in the fee gathering account.

11.45 BTC was used to reimburse the hosting fees.  (Oct, Nov, Dec)

The remainder was converted to 2004.78 LTC and added to the LTC in the LTC-GLOBAL fee gathering account for a total of a 2036.32 LTC dividend.

Cheers.

Nice. TYVM indeed.

It's been a long time since I've posted a dev update.  Here's a quick summary of the svn logs for the last couple weeks:

- New Locked tab for locked securities.
- The public portfolio feature now includes the ability to publicly display your wallet balance.
- Big reformat of the Account page.  It's now up to date and matches most of the rest of the site. 
- API improvements on the ticker output, it now includes additional 7 day and 30 day data.
- Fixed a bug with address verification on the Wallet address entry forms.  I was calling the verification function incorrectly such that everything was being considered valid.
- Security Trade tab now has red/green buttons for buying and selling.  Hopefully makes things a little clearer.
- New support request form.  Sends an email to the support gurus.
- New Security Trade tab information bar, including shares outstanding, 7 day numbers, 30 day numbers, and the moderator score.
- Many, many email formatting and output improvements.
- New 30 day and 90 day per share dividend payouts calculated on the Security Dividends tab.
- ** Huge change ** - Implementation of manual withdrawals when the withdrawal amount exceeds a daily withdrawal cap of an equivalent of $300 USD in digital currency.  This should not impact trading much, and there are some good benefits.  The main ones are;
    (A) To protect the exchange.  I can now reduce the amount of coin in the hot wallet to a safer level.  This is a huge security exposure win.
    (B) To protect users from compromised account situations.  If an attacker tries to withdraw over the threshold, you will get an email saying a manual withdrawal
    was requested.  You then have some time to contact us and ask us to cancel the withdrawal.
- No longer prompt asset issuers to vote on their own motions in the Portfolio page, since when they get to the Asset page they couldn't vote on their own motions anyway. 
- Motions with a start date in the past will now automatically start immediately.  It was pretty common for people to use the "Now" button in the calendar, wait a few seconds, then submit, rendering a start date in the past, which popped up an annoying error.
- Many timezone related bug fixes.  I believe there are still many to go.  The problem is that many of the html code chunks are shared among users in multiple time zones, so I'm having to re-work the caching for a lot of them.
- My Trades tab on the Portfolio page now has a 500 trade limit, bumped up from 30.

I'm still working on the longer-term project of getting the API setup for trading.  It is based on oauth 1.0a, and should be pretty easy to program for if you're familiar with oauth.  Unfortunately the work is not progressing as quickly as I would like, between the GLBSE imports and my regular job things have been pretty busy.

Cheers.

Gox yubikeys won't work unfortunately.  Gox runs it's own yubikey auth server, whereas we're pointed at the official Yubikey Yubicloud servers.

If anyone knows any tricks for getting a Gox yubikey to work on a 3rd party site, I'd love to implement the Gox keys. 

Cheers.
