GLBSE - request for next features

[Otoh]

*optional payout address lock

+1 for this there would need to be a lock on transfers of shares too & probably also a lock on any buying or selling

Email when a trade has gone through

+1 & when sent funds are received (cleared to account balance)

& please fix the charts as so many have asked to only show the relevant bids/asks that are within say 15% of last price like Intersango does, or just remove them until this gets fixed if it's going to take forever.

Can you please make a "last price" feed available, that can be used by KMyMoney Online price import.

Are you using kmymoney to track down your bitcoin investments? I would be very interested

As far as I understand, you need to extend http://finance-quote.sourceforge.net/ to support GLBSE, then this would also be used by KMyMoney.
Last price is already part of the public API...

This was my plan until I realized, there is now way to get price data out of the GLBSE /api/asset/[TICKER] feed.
GLBSE prices are not in BTC and there is no way to divide that number with 100000000 while price gets imported to KmyMoney.

My attempt to use google docs do preprocess the price data failed because kmymoney can only import one security at a time and for every security, it sends out a new request. I also did not manage to make it search for correct row from the csv.

This is how my csv looks like for the kmymoney 

ZIP.A,1.1800,7/1/2012
GIGAMINING,1.0000,7/1/2012
YABMC,0.1800,7/1/2012
TYGRR.BOND-P,1.0680,7/1/2012
COGNITIVE,0.7000,7/1/2012
ZETA-MINING,0.2480,7/1/2012
PPT.C,1.2500,7/1/2012
PPT.D,1.1800,7/1/2012
DMC,0.4700,7/1/2012
BIB.PIRATE,1.0700,7/1/2012
BIB.BVPS,0.0051,7/1/2012
PPT.E,1.1200,7/1/2012
OBSI.1MHS,0.1600,7/1/2012

Sorry but this is way out of my league I am not a programmer.

If GLBSE can spit out something like: ZIP.A,1.1800,7/1/2012  or something similar when ..../api/asset/ZIP.A;kmm ? gets requested, I think kmymoney can deal with this.

You can now see the number of active assets available using the API, that is the number of a security that is being traded on the market and not just left in the issuers account(or the total amount issued)

https://glbse.com/api/quantity_trading/ASSET_ID

This does not seem to work for:
SATOSHISDAEMON.HORSE
BIT.INC
IBB
BTCSYN
FPGA.CONTRACT
any upcoming IPOs (which is expected).

For upcoming IPOs or other assets that have never had a trade.  Is it possible to have the API return a 0?

One other thing that would be super helpful - A "Change" Button on each outstanding order to cancel/reorder in 1 click

+1

better still, the possibility to see and change the orders from the asset and not portfolio page. It could look like

5   0,18
20 0,178
6   0,173 (you: 3. [CANCEL])

Email when a trade has gone through

+1
but not only in this case: sometimes it would be very nice to be able to watch if the price exits a certain range.

Better still than an email, an official browser extension! There already is one (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=89659.0) and it's really useful, but being made by a random guy, it's not quite the best for security; unless you have the time to check the code, but it's quite far from optimal.

The graph only shows bid/asks which are within 15% of the best bid/ask.

+1
and really useful would be to be able to change the time period on the upper graph: now a single huge variation in price is sufficient to render the graph perfectly flat and useless (Gigamining anyone?)

Also, an estimate in the portifolio page of how much my titles are likely worth, each and in total, would be quite neat. Maybe also the minimum price at which I must sell each share to break even, taking into account fees and dividends: to know that my gain is exactly how much more I manage to get selling.

[matthewh3]

A PIN for withdrawals would be good.

[EskimoBob]

Mark security issuers Buy and Sell orders with a different color in the order book.

[RandomQ]

Another security feature that would help those of us without smartphones would be nice.

Consider allowing users to put in a permanent withdrawal address in our account, and any time it gets changed an email is sent to the email address on file asking for confirmation. Also, make it so that changing one's email address on file sends a notification email to the old email address and takes 24 hours to go into effect. This would prevent someone who phished your account from logging in and withdrawing all of your assets in one fell swoop.

Also, allow users to opt out of asset transfers.

Worst case scenario if these are implemented is that someone could phish your account and buy/sell assets at ridiculous prices. But even then there is little incentive to do that unless the account hacked is a real monster, and the shares affected have some benefit to the hacker.

I know there is a way to send google OTP VIA SMS, gmail accounts can be setup that way. Blockchain.info also does SMS passcodes that looks similar(~50% smaller) to google otp sms codes.

[burnside]

A method for issuers to keep backups of their investor contact information & holdings. Perhaps with the option to email a CSV containing this information at a regular preset time.

Be it usernames, email addresses, bitcoin addresses... anything would help in the event GLBSE gets hacked, goes down or loses data.

If Nefario has a heart attack, how will issuers continue to pay dividends, or buy back their shares? At least if they get emailed or download an investor list every day, they will have a fairly up-to-date idea of their options to proceed.

+1

My preference would be an API exposed to just the asset issuer.  I have another specific need for it outside of in addition to backups, Goat and I discussed briefly here:

[Francesco]

The more I use the site, the more I get convinced the way it works needs to be changed. Also to lighten server load, its in your interest as much as in ours.

If I am on my Portfolio page, I see I have left an open order, I go to see the situation of the asset and I have to open another page. Then if I want to change my order I must go back to portfolio to cancel it, and then back to the asset page to leave another; then I will be forced back to portfolio.
That makes FIVE pages I had to navigate through (and wait for. And that got requested to the server) when at most two should have been enough.

At least the unofficial chrome extension (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=89659.0) adds some useful functionality; I home that will become official and integrated soon!

Also, a graph visually showing not only price, but also depth (with varying colors perhaps) and how it varied through time would be very neat.

[flower1024]

i would like to see a "green address" feature to reduce waiting time when i withdraw from mtgox directly to glbse.

[Sukrim]

So you want that GLBSE trusts MtGox more than others by requiring fewer confirmations - or what does "green address" mean?

basically: yes
for how green addresses work see jav's proposal

[Nefario]

I made some changes which have sped the site up, more are on the way over the coming few days for the same purpose (making things faster). We're also going to see the end of reserve for BTC in your account so you'll be able to place more orders in the next couple of days as well.

In about a week we'll have a new server up n running which will do two things, increase the site speed for EVERYONE and will give us a kind of hot swap should one of the two servers go down for whatever reason.

Much more coming.

Noticing huge improvements, great job! Looking forward to even more speed

[burnside]

Site's usable again!  Really appreciate it.
