Thanks to Bitcoin Consultancy for providing the opportunity for me to continue working on Bitcoin-related developments.  You can find me in #bitcoinconsultancy (along with practically every other bitcoin-related channel on freenode).

Someone should take all that information and update the Wiki.  Well done collection of information.

[mizerydearia]

humm, when asking if it is okay to list #bitcoin-markets on front page of http://bitcoin.org/ like #bitcoin-market channel is, there was a bit of competitive effort by tcatm ("or I could just speed up my API") pushing for a denial of such request. =/

I suppose the proprietary closed source bitcoincharts.com data feed for #bitcoin-market channel is the defacto/primary/official source for real-time trade data for the open source bitcoin community as much as http://bitcoin.org/ is the defacto/primary/official home page for the open source bitcoin community.

tcatm did suggest idea of 'a "community" page on bitcoin.org listing all information related to the community and a more complete list of IRC channels might be one category of that page.'

Something similar to https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/IRC_channels perhaps.

I, for one, look forward to a more open community effort into spreading awareness of bitcoin-related developments instead of closed elitist control over what informations are publicated through officialized mediums such as bitcoin.org website.

What does Bitcoin.org consider the/their "community" at this point?

It was easy enough at one time to make a direct link to these forums as being "the community", but obviously the people behind Bitcoin.org want that to be the furthest thing from the truth (currently, BitcoinForums.net is ranking number 1 for the "Bitcoin Forums"    Amusingly, they are afraid to link directly to these forums and even tout it on the page as "Unofficial" and just links to Google. That is old news though.

I see the StackExchange gets a direct link now though with priority above the forums link, so will that now become the official Bitcoin discussion place?

I'm kind of confused now, is the link to the Wiki itself on Bitcoin.org with the information that you want not enough?  Or does a direct link for the Wiki or the Wiki IRC page need to be placed in the 'Community' section?    Also who is tactm?

[mizerydearia]

people are mad at me because of the content of this post...  secrecy... what's that?

[mizerydearia]

Also who is tactm?

tcatm is listed on front page of bitcoin.org: Nils Schneider - nils.schneider@gmail.com (PGP) and is responsible for bitcoincharts.com and bitcoinwatch.com

Interesting, you were asked to edit your post that only contained information that is just out there archived on the internet?   

I seen the post, I obviously do not remember all the names, but that is again, all easily pulled up information comparing the name lists.   This thread just got all weird.

Here is the October 2011 sql database dump compatible with Bitcoin Markets project:

http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6716850 The Pirate Bay claimed the sql db dump was a ponzi scheme and banned the account (now resolved, but torrent not reuploaded)
http://bitcoinmarkets.com/bitcoinmarkets-2011-10.sql.bz2.torrent

It contains data for bitcoin exchanges, markets and trade history.  It's approximately 2gb uncompressed.

[mizerydearia]

In addition to #bitcoin-markets for almost real-time streaming trade data I now present....tickers:

#bitcoin-tickers
#bitcoin-tickers-aud
#bitcoin-tickers-bgn
#bitcoin-tickers-brl
#bitcoin-tickers-cad
#bitcoin-tickers-chf
#bitcoin-tickers-eur
#bitcoin-tickers-gbp
#bitcoin-tickers-hkd
#bitcoin-tickers-inr
#bitcoin-tickers-jpy
#bitcoin-tickers-nzd
#bitcoin-tickers-pln
#bitcoin-tickers-rub
#bitcoin-tickers-sek
#bitcoin-tickers-sgd
#bitcoin-tickers-sll
#bitcoin-tickers-thb
#bitcoin-tickers-usd
#bitcoin-tickers-zar

[mizerydearia]

And to match the ticker chans (and get a bit closer to being in OVER 9,000 bitcoin channels):

#bitcoin-markets-eur
#bitcoin-markets-usd
#bitcoin-markets-sll
#bitcoin-markets-aud
#bitcoin-markets-hkd
#bitcoin-markets-cad
#bitcoin-markets-gbp
#bitcoin-markets-bgn
#bitcoin-markets-brl
#bitcoin-markets-chf
#bitcoin-markets-inr
#bitcoin-markets-jpy
#bitcoin-markets-nzd
#bitcoin-markets-pln
#bitcoin-markets-rub

Is there a list of core Bitcoin committers?

http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/176/is-there-a-list-of-core-bitcoin-committers

I haven't affiliated a list of core bitcoin (is this a reference to the http://bitcoin.org/ publicized release of bitcoin software?  something else?) developers as part of the bitcoin markets project (documenting information for all bitcoin exchanges and each of their markets data (e.g. trade history, depth/orderbook, ticker) and making all code and data available open sourcely).

Currently I am the only developer for the project.  Is anyone else interested to contribute or participate in development? https://gitorious.org/bitcoin-markets/bitcoin-markets

[mizerydearia]

This just in:

http://bitcoinmarkets.com/daily_volumes.php?sort=alpha
http://bitcoinmarkets.com/daily_volumes.php?sort=totalvolume
http://bitcoinmarkets.com/daily_volumes.php?sort=volume (default)

Currency and other filters to come soon.  Must sleep for now.
Also, other views (e.g. graphical charts) will come later.

Thoughts?

If anyone has requests for any kinds of views (including JSON), please make them (the requests) so I know what to work on. ^_^

Do you prefer to see data for all trades or only data for trades which were not reversed/canceled/deleted/rolled back?  Should I prepare interfaces to see for both?

For example, during mtgox's flash crash in which more than one person was able to withdraw bitcoins and/or usd (particularly the person who took advantage of the mtgox website vulnerability and there were a couple others that were actively trading and withdrawing at same time) and also of course there were many traders during that time which did not withdraw.  All trades during this period of time were reversed, I believe including those in which one or more people were able to withdraw funds.  Therefore, I am uncertain as to whether it is better to show data for all trades to establish a more realistic accumulation of data or to only show data for which have not been reversed, censored or deleted so as to preserve a more ...how to describe?... accumulation of data.
