[BTC-TC] Virtual Community Exchange [CLOSED]

I'm back in albeit slowly, but there's still no sign of my deposit in my account. Am I going to need to open a ticket on this?

I already did.  I'm disappointed that burnside hasn't mentioned the deposits.  
That is what makes people worry.
He might need to step up his game a bit if he wants to stay big.

Site is still entirely unreachable for me.

EDIT: Appears to work now

Deposits will come in before too long if they haven't already.  The backend still has a bunch of catching up to do.  It missed a lot of blocks while it was down and it's slammed trying to serve requests from the site.

Cheers.

Are the scripts for dividends running again??  I haven't seen any normal Friday dividends as of yet.  Thanks!

Reddit opinions on forcing login to see markets: http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinStocks/comments/1kxjeg/btctco_removes_ability_to_view_market_data_when/

Also, people might want to check the market when they're on someone else's machine. Now they'll have to login on that machine to do so.

Burnside, I fear this change has some real downsides for your users, as you are in effect forcing them to choose between going without basic market information, or risk logging onto the website using insecure machines just to obtain that information whenever they away from the machine(s) that they protect enough to use for bitcoin financial transactions.  Putting them in that predicament is bad policy.  Please reconsider.

Agreed. If DDoS is a concern, maybe just generate a static page with all the market-data-pages every N minutes, so people can still see relatively recent information without logging in and can log in for a live version of the page.

This is not a bad compromise. I'm not of the opinion that this is a big deal myself, but that's a pretty good idea for those who do think it is.

+1, having to log in just to check prices is bull!

[physalis]

I feel bad about that change too
I often check the prices on my phone when I'm on the go, but I'm not going to log in on my phone. Since the 2FA is on my phone, it would completely ruin the purpose.

Displaying a static page that updates from time to time is probably really what should be done.

But burnside, I'm wondering... Are you planning on increasing the server capabilities, or are you maybe already doing that?
I'm sure I'm not the only one having a feeling that another wave of adoption and attention for bitcoin is near, and I hope you're coming prepared for that.
Not that the same thing happens to you that happened to Gox in the last bubble.

Hi all,

I'll look into alternate ways to display the market and still not have the DDoS exposure.  A static html file or cache object is almost certainly the way to go.

Cheers.

BTCT is the best digital currency security market by far. Thank you for making it so.

[FloatesMcgoates]

I'm getting a wallet lock error? This came at a really bad time since I was in the middle of very profitable arbitrage on Deprived's offerings

Edit: Fixed

[Rannasha]

My deposit just reached 3 confirmations, when will it be in my account..?

Click the Refresh button next to your account balance on the wallet page.

thanks I just never had a delay before like that

I've been playing with the API for a day, and I've already made a simple iPhone app to get the list of BTCT assets and its last trade price, in order to control them from my iPhone, instead of going to the web everytime. It's some kind of stock ticker.

Its very usefull for me, but I'm wondering if anybody would be interested on it, to publish the app into the AppStore, or remain it just for my own usage! 

Are people with iPhone/iPods interested on this?
