OK, so we've fixed some of the issues that were reported. I've added a few details on installing the client(for windows users, but useful for Linux users too).A tutorial on how to use the client Some sample contracts. SharesBondsFutures contractsEDIT: Now you can also have a look at the assets that are listed on the exchange , go hereThe servers up and running, go and register, deposit something small like 0.01btc All orders and trades are listed on twitter @bitcoinglobal We we're innitially planning on launching the exchange yesterday but decided against it, to be certain we wanted to run more testing, and we needed to develop some terms and conditions. Keep an eye out for future announcements, we'll be doing some promotions, that will be able to bag up to 100BTC free. See here for the related announcement from yesterday.

Is it possible to run the exchange in -testnet mode, for the duration of testing? That way people could throw money around with wild abandon. It seems like it might be a better testing strategery.

Haven't set it up with testnet, and the amount really doesn't matter, 0.01BTC is plenty to play with.
Not to mention that not everyone has testnet btc.

What was the reasoning for using a command-line client instead of a web interface? A web interface would be more friendly to the average user.
Edit: I see you are working on a graphical client, so I'll rephrase my question: Why a desktop client instead of a web interface?

There are no passwords, we use public/private keys to verify a user. Ot provides excellent security and requires there to be a desktop client. We may at some point in the future provide a web-based client for those prefering convienience over security but thats far down the list of things to do(could change if there's demand).

No need for that, what about Google Accounts and other OpenID providers? Mine even calls me to my landline each time I login. Also, :/, "random.seed(time.time())", I hope it doesn't use that to generate the keypairs.

And this is why it's opensource.
How would you recommend we generate the keypairs?

Having a problem on Windows 7, 64 bit. Ran the setup, everything installed fine. Need any more information? Traceback (most recent call last): File "blackmarket.py", line 10, in <module> from M2Crypto.util import passphrase_callback as prompt_password File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\M2Crypto\__init__.py", line 22, in <module> import __m2crypto ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

OK, I've cleaned a machine here and just run through the setup process, now my machine is 32bit XP so it's not comparable to yours. I've found that I've had no problems, the installation went smoothly. So the issue is either due to it being Windows 7 or it being 64bit. If we could have someone with a 32bit version of Windows 7 give it a try and report back that would help narrrow things down. I'm guessing it's the fact that it's 64bit that could be causing issues, see this link. But until someone with plain old 32bit windows 7 gets back to us we won't know.

Well Tea, the problem is that its 64bit windows you're using, someone else has pm'd me with the same problem.
The m2crypto package that I included is 32bit M2Crypto-0.20.2.win32-py2.7.exe And it seems that only activestate python business edition (not free) has a 64bit windows build.
Anyone know 64bit m2crypto packages for windows?
Perhaps it needs to be run in 32bit mode (is there a way to do this?)
vuce, do you have your machine configured in a certain way to handle 32bit applications?

no, nothing. Just clicked install and it worked like a dream. There was some openssl warning (i think) but it doesn't seem to affect anything.

Could you check add remove programs in the control panel and see if you have Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable package installed, perhaps you have a newer one that's 64bit? If that's not the case then I'm stumped.

Thanks vuce. BitterTea (and anyone else with 64bit windows systems) install this(also possibly re-install openssl), it's the 64bit C++ redistributable. Then give it a try again. let me know the results. http://glbse.com/downloads/vcredist_x64.exe

Also I've just added a webpage to allow users to view assets that are listed on the exchange. Right now when you click on an asset, you get a whole face of ugly in return. I'll fix that over the next few days. http://dev.glbse.com/cgi-bin/list

I'm very new at all of this but I'm looking for the best way to throw a few hundred bucks at bitcoin in the riskiest way possible that gives me potential for the highest upside. I'm no financial expert and basically just want to gamble it up a bit. IIRC there is some sort of stock option where I'm basically buying a few thousand dollars worth of stock (or bitcoin in this example,) but if the price drops to a certain level those few thousand dollars revert back to the client/invester/someone that's not me and I just lose my couple hundred dollars. Can someone explain this to me and tell me if it's possible with this program?

You're talking about limit orders. It's ot built into the system(yet) but can easily be done with a trading bot.
