[BTC-TC] Virtual Community Exchange [CLOSED]

[burnside]

I'm pulling down the dividend data from the API for my charting software, and something I notice is that on many of the dividents, the per-share amount is listed as 0, despite there being a total payout to multiple shares.  For example, here is an excerpt from MININGCO.ETF:

https://btct.co/api/dividendHistory/MININGCO.ETF

{"ticker":"MININGCO.ETF","process_time":"1368665715","amount":"0.04877388","alt_per_share_amount":"0.00000000","shares_paid":"127","status":"COMPLETE","id":"701"}


Some of the assets have all of the per share payouts listed, others have none, and some only have before a certain date range.

I can calculate this myself with the existing 'amount' and 'shares_paid' data, but I figured I would let you know..

Somewhat hard to explain if you haven't seen the asset issuer's dividend interface.  An issuer has two options to choose from, "Issue a lump sum, divided amongst the shares", or "Issue a fixed amount per share".  That "alt_per_share_amount" is only populated when the issuer uses the latter option.

Hope that makes sense. 

Cheers.

Cool, thanks, that makes sense.     Btw, I've added dividends to the charts at http://fnords.dontexist.com

That's awesome.    Nice work!

Quick heads up.  I won't have access to the cold wallet for ~36 hours starting 3 hours from now.  If you have a big withdrawal you need to do, please schedule it within the next 3 hours.

Cheers.

I have a problem.

Trying to buy some shares and it gives me this error:

Invalid Bid Input.

 

Are you using commas (,) ?

No.  

Um, you can't buy half a share.

Could you take in consideration a slight change in the way gAuth gets enabled by a user? Something similar to Bitfunder, that always shows the qr code and the associated secret key. I'm asking this because yesterday the site didn't show me the qr code to me and I got locked out. I already resolved the problem thanks to burnside.

Is it possible to sell direct shares on BTC-TC if I only own small amount ?

Yes.  Check out the ASICMINER-PT thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=148350.0

I'd like to chart the volume of bids and asks separately, but I'm running into a problem with the data returned by the API.

An example from the tradeHistory URL (https://btct.co/api/tradeHistory):

{"ticker":"ASICMINER-PT","quantity":"1","amount":"2.03530000","timestamp":"1369073859"}

There's no mention of whether this filled a buy order or a sell order.

I also checked the individual stock history, but the same goes here (Marketorder is not an indicator of bid or ask, just the type of order..):

{"ticker":"COGNITIVE","quantity":"1","amount":"0.21501600","timestamp":"1369088209","type":"Market"}


Is there any way you could add that information to the API?   I think determining this in some other way would be non-trivial..

Totally agree.  It should now show "Market Buy", "Market Sell", "Option Buy", or "Option Sell".  Note that all trades prior to right now erroneously will show as "Market Sell".  Not much I can do about that, we were only tracking it in our logging, not in the db, so it'd be a horrible pain to try to import the data retroactively.

Cheers.

Awesome, thank you very much!

Oh come on now, that's not fair  Burnside will provide updates and ensure that people still own their shares. Such is life when a certain asset sky rockets...

[dexX7]

Haha, no. He does great and I really really like it!

But slow refresh followed by CloudFlare's logo is just mean. ;(

Wow, volume on the exchange is just huge.

Its great, but about 90-95% is ASICMINER

True, but that's the case at bitfunder as well. ASICMiner has truly grown into a beast.

I'd definitely like to see more diversity, but I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Or worse, what GLBSE was... ugh.  

The bottleneck is bitcoind.  I spent a bunch of time last night working on shifting requests away from bitcoind, that code is live now on litecoinglobal.com.  If it holds up, I'll roll it out to btct.co soon.  Eventually we'll shift everything but deposits/withdrawals out of bitcoind, but it will be a very slow process unfortunately.

Why don't you run bitcoind on a seperated server? It doesn't fix the problem but at least bitcoind won't slow down normal trading.
Personally I don't care if I have to wait a few minutes for my withdrawal or deposit to show up but I hate it when I can't execute trades.
