GLBSE - request for next features

[Nefario]

ask / bid per asset available as a 'ticker' - not sure what the name should be but something like
call to http(s)://glbse.com/asset/view/ABC/summary
would return {ABC; 0.26060004; 0.2999}
instead of having to check the whole web page to see if someone put a sathoshi higher bid just a simple check ; )

This would be part of the API

how far off are we from having an API?

The next update, GLBSE 2.1 is what I'm calling it.

Will have a few new features (not many, but the API will be one), a new face, bugs removed, and improved charts.

Some totals of currently displayed information might be a nice touch.  On my account, I'd like to see total fees paid and it would also be cool to see the total amount of BTC volume on the exchange on the "shares" list.

EDIT: Might I also say that I am quite impressed at the speed in which you are improving the exchange.  I keep throwing up new feature ideas, mostly because you keep adding them so quickly.

GLBSE 2.1 is going to be a big improvement.... looks wise, and should be much more usable.

would also be cool to have a "total assets" amount like the normal brokerages too.  ie:  something that adds up your holdings according to the current bids, one for each asset, then cumulatively.

I vote for making it look a bit more 'slick'. Looks a dogs dinner right now.
Go get a graphic designer on the case

+1 another great idea.  Although I think it should be based off of the "last" price instead of the highest bid price.

what about refining contracts / assets as such?
might be not trivial change like improve reporting or display the books but ...

nice to know which asset is a share in a company, which is a bond, which is a fund
they could have then type induced special features

please do not dismiss it right away, it could start with a simple label (share/bond/fund investment) and feature could follow, just to root this design feature or at least think of it how it could fit in
(this might be important for future assets, p.ex. they should have different IPO rules if glbse is to mimic real world markets)

I was going to add simple labels, and from there add special functionality.

A "news" source, that states announcements of new IPOs scheduled and on IPO day a summary of issue coming off the block.

Maybe just publishing it in a @BitcoinGlobal tweet would be sufficient for the level of activity the service has now.

Now don't give me that!

I'm no designer, but the look of the site does affect people's opinion of the stability and professionalism of the business.

One thing that bugs me is the use of the red and green in the table. Maybe play around with different shade, like you can here: http://colorschemedesigner.com/#0041ZnTu-w0w0
Also, the black background on the non-trading assets is a bit jarring. Maybe change that to a dark blue-grey?

More pictures (relevant ones, not just for fluff) might help. Some icons, and maybe a little more padding on some places.

Switching to Twitter bootstrap, and thats actually a good idea on the colours.

And site status as well ... for things like:

It's not just you! http://glbse.com looks down from here.

IPO form, can we get 'preview' button?

to see (safe draft) how it will look like, what values are entered, how the contract layout screws up while saving, what date/time will the IPO probably happen ...
 ... before we confirm (and spend 8 btc fees) and loose the chance to edit

I would really love to see the google token two factor authentification in order to authorize buy / sell orders.

Any plans here?

Really?

It wouldn't be hard to add but would people really want that?

Please tell me it won't be a stock copy of bootstrap.  Also, when will we see such a design change?  Will the dev site be brought back up?

Dev site going up today, it's the last thing I will do before going to bed.

Actual launch of new site is this Friday.

Just imagine somebody is holding several thousands of bitcoins or stocks worth of that value.

If account get hacked, the hacker cannot transfer the money directly to another wallet but here are some scenarios how he could do it with a workaround:

- Hacked account holds a BTC balance
Hacker uses a 2nd GLBSE account and transfers the money via buy / sell orders on inactive / zombie stocks or even creates his own stock

- Hacked account holds shares
Hacker sells all shares (even under value) and does the same as described above

Maybe you could make the token for buy / sell orders optional. I would really love to see that feature in terms of security!
