Futures Gemini Site 6:00 p.m. EST on Sunday December 10th, 2017

[Richy007]

I have Gemini account where futures will be launched 6:00 p.m. EST on Sunday December 10th, 2017.  Can only trade BTC, ETH, and BTC/ETH.  Site is slow and order book display is difficult to read.  Anyone else notice anything good or bad?  Thanks

This really doesn't belong in the Bitcoin "Development & Technical Discussion" section, but:
Where have you seen that futures will be traded on Gemini?  It is trading on the Cboe Futures Exchange other various brokers will have it (1). Gemini is used for pricing(2).

Some brokers are listed here:

I understand that the Gemini auction data will be used as the settlement price for the CBOE futures contracts. I don't think Gemini is actually facilitating futures trading.

In theory this will result in higher trading volume on Gemini.
