GLBSE stock exchange up and trading.

Nefario - I also tried with a newly registered account and got exactly the same error with each of the three commands, suggesting either a problem with the bmc.py script and/or the system configuration.

For reference, here are the system details ...

     bob@bob-laptop2:~$ python --version
     Python 2.6.5
     bob@bob-laptop2:~$ uname -a

Is anyone else seeing a problem with the bitcoin-history, asset-history and market-history commands on the 2.0 version of the bmc.py client ?

[Nefario]

Hey, should be working now. If you are using the command line client make sure you have the latest version.

The web client has been updated to fix some problems.

Voting is currently broken on the server side of things and I'm working to bring it back up.

Nefario.

Has the latest version of the command line client been posted here ? - https://gitorious.org/black-market/black-market-client/blobs/raw/master/bmc.py

That still reports "bmc.py 2.0" as version.

I am still having exactly the same problems with the bitcoin-history, asset-history and market-history commands.

I am also still unable to place a sell order for my last DISHWARA share.

Please see previous posts in this thread and PMs for all details.

As I said, no html debug files are generated when re-producing either of these problems.

Let me know what else you need.

Had same problems, erased certificate and client directory, redownloaded (git clone git://gitorious.org/black-market/black-market-client.git) and registered again.

Works fine now. Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop OS.

And BTW, I love a command line stock market client !!! This is so 1980s. Thanks GLBSE for reminding me of my freshman years. I have not installed the web client and I don't think I will for the time being.

[Nefario]

You don't really "install" a web client.

Yeah, that really strikes out as a stupid statement. I meant the Windows client... lost in my enthusiasm.

Great work Nefario.

[Ben Walsh (beamer)]

That seems to have fixed the problems with the three history commands.

However, it had no impact on the DISHWARA order problem - I still get the incorrect error that the share is reserved. I can still place sell orders for the other assets I own.

I am still unable to sell that last share and need to soon - obviously it is important to be able to sell shares when I need to :O)

For some reason the share still appears to be reserved for some other order, but I definitely have no such order.

Nefario ...

     Can you investigate and tell me what order/transaction is reserving my share, as it is not one I have open ? That order/transaction needs to be cancelled and I assume only you can do so.

     I have also tried transferring the share - I also get the incorrect error that the share is reserved.

     Once this erroneous "lock" on the share is removed, I should hopefully be able to sell it finally ;O)

Much lower priority bugs / design requests ...

     Sort the entries in the three history command responses by timestamp.

     Display the timestamp in a "human readable" format.

[Ben Walsh (beamer)]

Another bug / design request - medium priority ...

     For dividend entries in the history command, identify the share which is generating the dividend.

This will make checking dividend payments much easier, particularly as the range of shares increases.

[Nefario]

Beamer, requests approved, I'll have them rolled out by this Friday, as well as other improvements.

Nefario.

[Ben Walsh (beamer)]

Excellent.

[Nefario]

Is anyone else having trouble selling assets/shares because of the reserves issue?

Centimine, do you still have that problem?

Anyone who is please pm me your account number and the asset you're having trouble with.

Nefario.

Needed to generate a spreadsheet from my various histories, so knocked up some python scripts to convert the existing (bmc.py 2.0) output to CSV format.

Decided to bung them up on gitorious too ...

     https://gitorious.org/bmctools/bmctools/blobs/raw/master/spread-asset-history.py
     https://gitorious.org/bmctools/bmctools/blobs/raw/master/spread-bitcoin-history.py
     https://gitorious.org/bmctools/bmctools/blobs/raw/master/spread-market-history.py

     (Main - https://gitorious.org/bmctools)

I'm sorting by Time for each of the histories currently, as that was most important to me. Very easy to adapt to sort by any of the other fields though.

Any questions please ask.

No comments on quality - I haven't used python for a long time and they are functional NOT pretty ;O)

Ooohhhh, how would you feel if I were to include these with the command line client?

[Stardust]

I didn't register on GLBSE, but I didn't see any links or info to the companies for which symbol belongs. If I am going to buy shares I would like what the company is about.

You're right, and this part has been a mess so far. Most of the info on companies is spread across these forums, not an easy task to read up on them.

A facelift that was due Friday is being pushed out on Monday, I'm hoping to have a page for each stock ticker on the exchange, a place to keep everything central. I think I'll have this done by Friday (I wish :p).

Making a big push for usability, we're even having screencasts and documentation on how to use everything *GASP*

[Stardust]

I'm looking forward to it. Thanks.

[Ben Walsh (beamer)]

Please do. The more users who can get benefit from them the better.

The closest thing there is right now is the "asset contracts" page, which you can get to when you click on "Start Trading" on the main page. It's not very the greatest but hopefully Nefario's changes on Monday will give us something better.
