Beta GLBSE stock market Open for trading

[Nefario]

Due to wrestling with accounting problems caused by premature usage of the exchange we will be launching in about 4 hours(I've got meatspace things to attend to first).

Some points, to stop people spamming the exchange listing things there will be a charge of 1btc to list(may lower this afterwards), the first 20 ticker symbols are free (ones taken already, UBX leaving 19 remaining).

After that there will be a 5btc charge for ticker symbols.

There are no transaction fees ATM except to withdraw, which is 0.01btc to pay the transaction servers processing fee.

Minimum withdrawal is 1btc (plus 0.01btc charge, so needs 1.01btc in account).

Anyone who has an account already pelase back up your keys, which are located:
Windows:C:/Documents and Settings/Username/.blackmarket4.rsa
Linux:~/.blackmarket4.rsa

Running register again will overwrite these keys, and once gone you lose everything in your account!

Once the exchange is up and running I will spend time helping anyone who wants to list to do so.

Please see the terms and conditions at http://glbse.com/terms.html

Shares for BitcoinGlobal will not be listed yet as we haven't worked out full terms of our share contract.

regards, Nefario.

Mine was the same. Anyway I truecrypted the file in a backup just to be on the safe side.

When will we see fancy charts or an API that bitcoincharts can use to create fancy charts?

Haha, good one.

But seriously, we'll have to wait, I'm adding functionallity and fixing bugs as fast as I can.

Just went live with this, which was scary for me, I'm terrified of there being some accounting or security bug.

Charts are not my first priority, but it's something that will happen probably in about 2 months I'd guess.

I had the same with Operation Fabulous. Took me a month before I had a proper sleep again.

It's working fine for me.  Nefario, this is really impressive.  Hats off to you.  I hope to have some time to try it out towards the weekend.

[ColdHardMetal]

It was hanging for me before, but it seems to be working now.

After installing all the programs from setup as described, I tried to run the market
with blackmarket.py

Then I got the error:

"Traceback <most recent call last>:
 File "C....\blackmarket.py, line 10, in <module>
   from M2Crypto.util import passphrase_callback as prompt_password
Import Error: No module named M2Crypto.util"

can anyone help?

It seems that from time to time the server (the software, not the machine itself) freezes, sometimes completely not letting up other times for a while. I don't know why, haven't had a chance to investigate (which is what I will be doing).

I'll also need to build a script to monitor the server and "reset" it when it chokes.

I tried making a ticker, it told me not enough funds.  Did all 20 free tickers already get used up?

Before you can register a ticker, you need to create an asset. I've set the fee for creating an asset at 1btc to stop people just throwing any kind of crap up there. There are still 18 free tickers available.

So to recap:
1)bmc.py deposit   (you need to deposit at least 1btc to create an asset)
2)bmc.py new-asset file-to-be-asset
3)bmc.py ticker asset_id ticker_symbol

You can see everything that's listed on the exchange here.
