Just based off of the commission's and trade volume, you know major exchange's have much more than this amount already, what is the need to prove what we already know? It doesn't matter what amount some exchange has of there own coin, it doesn't mean they would use it to protect there users. Such a proof would only give people a false sense of security.
They could spend there time working on this, and potentially opening up more holes in there system, or exchanges can spend the time increasing there security so they don't end up like mtgox. Without gox as the target im sure these other large exchanges are next.

I would also like smtng like simple html/txt file with just 2-5 prices, no decimals, ntng just like bstamp 650 huobi 3950 btce 645
nothing else. So i can simply check if it "all normal" on any device with almost no traffic ... And 1 more pls: make other currencies (CNY) like click_on = switch to USD (u can use google or whatever ratio) ... Many thanks for making mBTC default.

Or 7%/3 hours ... What price? - TOP3 average price?? its up2u comboy - great job ... And what I love most - u still do something, improve things ... Its not another great bitcoin site going obsolete in a few months/yearsAnd pls no flash

I think our team at BitQuick.co was the first to implement proof of reserves: https://www.bitquick.co/bitquick-co-updates-api-to-show-proof-of-transparency-we-believe-in-making-bitcoin-trading-safe-and-simpleWith Bitcoin rapidly gaining an increasing amount of global exposure and use, it is imperative that its community and user base are given peace of mind in knowing that the many beloved services and exchanges that they use everyday are fully solvent and transparent. Our API has been updated to include proof of our reserves, now displaying each escrow address that is currently in use. Users can now verify for themselves that BitQuick.co has all listed funds accounted for, and is not running a fractional reserve. We strive to offer a quick, convenient, and safe service for buyers and sellers to trade bitcoin. We believe that by being able to view our escrow addresses, users will be able to feel confident that they are using a legitimate and professional platform. Please feel free to view our updated API here: https://www.bitquick.co/apisell.phpAnyone can act as a third party to verify our funds as well. Here are some instructions to verify yourself: 1. Find an order on our buy page and place a hold on that order for a small test amount. 2. Visit https://www.bitquick.co/apisell.php and find the escrow address for that particular order. 3. Pay for your order and see if the address you receive your bitcoin from is the same as the escrow address you found in step 2. BitQuick.co Support Team

Huobi has been on bitcoinity for a while now: Also added huobi, Out of curiosity, may I ask how/where you get Huobi's data? It doesn't seem they have a working API? (at least not documented?) Same for bitcoin.de: it is possible to add bitcoin.de? Great job for adding it, kudos! How do you manage do get their trading data? They don't provide an API either, right?

mtgox: http://bitcoinity.org/markets?exchange=mtgox (a bit laggy while their API is still not fully functional) tradehill: http://bitcoinity.org/markets?exchange=tradehillI just wanted to create some thread to collect feedback. Ideas or problem reports are welcome. Basically I just created it to have some live ticker on my unused 15" LCD (so it's kinda optimized for 1024x768 full screen), but since some poeple started using it, I'm developing it a bit more. More features coming soon. Is MTGox ever recovering? We think not, did they just filed for Bankruptcy?

I like you BitQuick and you know it but.. Apart from the fact that you are not a standard exchange where customer can store funds and trade them realtime (as far as I understand it), your proof does not seem to be optimal to me. Solvency proof has too parts to it: 1. Prove that you in control of some amount of bitcoins. 2. Prove that sum of users bitcoin liabilities are smaller or equal than that. I don't see either of that. I've also been contacted by bitalo.com (even before bitquick), they are using multisig and (based on the description) they are doing it right, so that you have full control of your bitcoins and no solvency proof is necessary. I like that very much, but again, that's more like a marketplace. It's something very good and it has its place, but it's not an exchange in a classical meaning. I just got info from kraken and I need to take a detailed look since I just woke up, but it's possible that's what I've been asking for. Regarding other posts, sorry for no answers lately, I'll post them soon -ish

Kraken is getting the shout out for being the first exchange to take some serious steps towards proving their bitcoin solvency. Their solution ( https://www.kraken.com/security/audit ) is not perfect but it's better than what any other exchange has done so far. It's going to be just 2 weeks because it's not a full proof of solvency i.e. it still depends on trust to the auditor. I'm happy to promote them because based on my talk with them my subjective opinion is that they know what they are doing. They plan to release audits quarterly. I definitely would like to see these more often, and with direct proof of control of the bitcoins. I hope this is just a first step to a better future when such proofs become a standard. But a lot of this depends on the community. You can ask your exchange to improve their transparency, and you can vote with your money.

Then I would like to tell you this highlight of Kraken is nice imo. I hope some people will try Kraken cause they are defining some good standards to bitcoin industry. This audit plus the fact they were one (only?) marketplace not being affected by the malleability issue show people they need to ask more from Kraken's competitors. The Gox fiasco should helps that too. Edit : I'm using Kraken since January and I like the clear and pro interface they got.

Relevant links: https://iwilcox.me.uk/2014/proving-bitcoin-reserveshttps://github.com/olalonde/proof-of-solvency comboy, I don't mean to bash, after all it is the best step taken so far by an exchange on par with what bitstamp did already some time ago. But as someone pointed out on reddit these audits are not comprehensive since only BTC reserve ownership is proven and the fiat reserves are not. And this basically invalidates the BTC audit because you could very easily turn fiat into BTC for the audit and then go back into fractional mode. Just be careful with the votes of confidence and always do your own thinking. Props for the great site anyway!
