GLBSE - request for next features

[stochastic]

Can the number of total outstanding shares be listed in the public market API?

[Sukrim]

Transaction fees? Seriously? Also you can do accounting if you just keep the money on GLBSE in 1 place. In the end you suggest that GLBSE adds an internal accounting system that could never even remotely compete with a proper one, but might lead to a lot of GLBSE hobbyist projects neglecting proper accounting practices because they anyways have set up an "expansion account" on GLBSE.

Whatever I want more wallets that's my request you don't run the GLBSE and you don't run a GLBSE listed company so its no use to you.

Actually I did run on GLBSE 1.0 months before you even signed up on this forum. Anyways, I think I already voiced why I don't like the suggested feature, let's see if it gets added or not.

On a different note:
I tried out the API (including some undocumented functions for dividends, which worked perfectly so far - no more page parsing, yay!) but stumbled upon some "Internal Server Error"s on the following pages consistently:
https://glbse.com/api/asset/JLP
https://glbse.com/api/asset/ENJAN16
https://glbse.com/api/asset/BM
https://glbse.com/api/asset/EN

[REF]

The charts should only show trades from the past 30 days. the "mini chart" which is a blue line even says 30 days but it shows since the beginning of glbse 2.1 or from when the ipo was launched if it was after glbse 2.1

I guess above could be considered a bug. I like if we could get chart options for 1wk/1mnth/1yr/all time

I also think different GLBSE wallets could be good for traders and investors as well as listed company's.  So each dividend from each separate stock you own gets paid into a different wallet on the exchange if you so wish.  I know you could just do proper accounting but when your counting numbers to eight decimal places it can get very tedious.

this could also be handled by (a hypothetical) "accounting software" that imports the csv. Just saying: maybe glbse site itself shouldn't be pressured too much into offering such accounting-related features. It might be better to have a market establish for that.

Work with http://www.mrbitcoins.com or other "fiat to bitcoin" like bitinstant to allow withdrawal to glbse

[matthewh3]

It may also be good for each assets volume chart for the completed asks and offers to be different colours?

It'd be nice to be able to fetch the history csv with the private API.
And dividends with the public API.

Couldn't the GLBSE work with the major bitcoin exchanges to enable people to invest in GLBSE assets with fiat payments.  Hey they could even accept PayPal.  It would certainly induce more investing and could even work as an expensive way of buying bitcoins?

[Sukrim]

I thought of offering shares through Bit-Pay...

There would just be too many fees involved for my taste, probably around a 10% margin or even more and there's no API for share transfers, so I would have to do them by hand.

This really doesn't matter at all, but:

Security administration panel
Pay Dividends

Should be changed to "Pay Coupons" or "Pay interest" if it is a bond.

Just buy coins at an exchange and withdraw to a GLBSE deposit address. I suppose an exchange could offer a withdraw to glbse option if they wanted too.

[Bitcoin Oz]

There should be tools to let you run a company or an investment group.

Such things as voting for officers, creating/managing bylaws, holding shareholder meetings etc

Being able to withdraw BTC to a pre-approved address using the API would be nice.

To add to that: an API function for asset issuers to pay dividends would also be tremendously useful.

+1

Few more requests:

1) please fix the bid/ask chart so BS orders like 10000 @ 0.0000001 are ignored
2) please fix the trade history chart so BS fat finger orders do not screw up the chart for good. (use different colour and add price to a blip or something like that)
3) Reorganise the "Market" table so that time sensitive information is on the left and averages etc are on the right side



4) I really like to see the next Div date or the maturity date for zeros in this table (or as a hover tip)

A search feature or "sorting" of assets would be nice now theres a few listed, even alphabetically would be good.

I emailed support@glbse.com and they said they will be implementing this idea of cash payments into the GLBSE for bitcoin security's but not and never a PayPal option.

I would love to see a shorting function.
More data in portfolio.. Ex. next to price of bought asset also current value of asset.

Shorting requires a lender, no?
