[BTC-TC] Virtual Community Exchange [CLOSED]

My next steps:
    - Extend the wait time.  It's 30 seconds right now, I may extend it to 60 seconds.
    - Speed up the trade engine.  This has been an ongoing process and I'll keep after it.

Does that mean the time between two API trades is 30 seconds? If so please don't extend it to 60 

No, it's how long it will wait trying to get the lock before giving the lock timeout error.

BTC-TC down for others too? I first got an access denied error when logging in and now I can't even open the main page ("Please try again in a few minutes" message).

edit: It's back and I can log in again.

Hi Moderators,

Could you please review "SMIDGE.COM-A" at https://btct.co/security/SMIDGE.COM-A and cast your vote on it. As discussed with Ethan, I would like to sync the IPO phase to start on Saturday, Aug 10th 7pm EST (Sunday, Aug 11th 1am CET).

I will gladly answer all upcoming questions.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi all, trade history snagged via the API includes a "trade_id" now.

Hopefully that will help some of you out there that are trying to identify unique transactions.

Cheers.

Please could this be either added to the history tab or passed to bitcoin-assets' assbot, for the benefit of those battling without robotic assistance?

I think passing it through assbot would require assbot support.  (It's not my bot, it's a bot run by Kakobrekla)

For the history displays on the website, it could be added, what specific use would it be?

Cheers.

As a day-trader, when trying to make sense of market movements, it helps significantly to be able to tell whether groups of buys and sells have been made by the same person, or are a bunch of different people.

For example, say about 100 AM-PT shares have just been sold into the bid wall with a fair amount of slippage in the last 5 minutes. If it was sold by several different people, I will assign very different probabilities to various scenarios of what might be happening than if it was a single whale getting out.

I've frequently wished that information was available, but I don't mind it not being available to me as long as it's a fair, level playing field.

Hi Burnside,

any chance you could add this trade_id to personal trade histories (obtained with API key).

Thanks

I gotcha.  I don't think these trade id's will help then.  They're not trader id's, they're just unique id's per trade.

Unless I'm missing something?

Cheers.

Ah, I see.

My confusion, sorry.

I'm assuming you mean the CSV endpoints?

Sure, I just plugged it in.  Note however that these trade_id's will not necessarily match up with the public trade id's from the tradeHistory endpoint.  (db complexities, sorry.)

Cheers.

Great, thanks for that. For me, it doesn't matter per se that they don't match up with the other id's. The main thing is that it offers a convenient way to uniquely identify different trades. A combination of existing fields would've already done a decent job, but there are still possibilities for collisions and a unique ID is just simpler to handle.

Nice catch, thank you!

[pascal257]

Nice catch, thank you!

Litecoin Global is also crying for a fix!

Edit:

I was wondering, when 2 orders have the same price, the older one gets filled first right?

[N_S]

Has there been any discussion about a BTCT iPhone/Android app?

Yes, that's been my experience.

I'm a little confused how this BTCgarden buyback works.  I go to my portfolio and I see an internal transfer box with BTCgarden in it.  Okay, now what?

You won't need to do anything.  Just wait - and when they do the buyback your shares will go and the BTC from the buyback will arrive in your account.

[VolanicEruptor]

This will be interesting to see all this bitcoin flood back into BTCT.  Where it goes nobody knows.
