Is it possible for someone to develop a platform where you cn spread bet the price of coins going up or down on a daily or even hourly basis? Obviously the developer would need some csh in place to hedge the bets but im suprised this hasnt been developed yet

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

There are exchanges around doing get/put options that'll accomplish the same if you don't mind a little maths.

you know what, ill give a btc donation as i do like the idea, ill do so some time this week as im trying to play the markets at the moment with what i have. One suggestion though is imroving your description site, few people would invest with little knowledge of whats going on. make the text and picture a bit visually better and im sure you'll get your 10BTC. remember though if this kicks off for you you'd be getting more than a BTC a day, tbh the worlds your oyster!

Bitoption.org supports this right now, and we have an API.

Just looking for orders, it should be up and running with a web interface today? tomorrow?

Actually, not only do we have an API, we have a way for someone building a spread-betting website to make money, as they can add a convenience fee for people who use their spread-betting site and see it show up on their own account.

looks good, although i would recommend placing a more detailed help section for those who have no idea what things are.
