There should be a place to gamble on the average, low, etc. - yes I know there is. Interesting bets.
Isn't that GLBSE/PPT.D?

Perhaps, but the whole point of having it scripted is that it happens near instant. Taking 20 seconds means that even if the process to script it is automated, people can still game it... which then leads to why so much pressure to script the start if its just going to be gamed anyway? Right? I'm not sure why people are sweating the seconds, the only way the seconds can be dealt with is at the server. I'm also not sure why everyone is suddenly assuming that you can get a buy order in while the sale is processing. One sale order is entered and it is then processed, who is to say the server isn't processing it completely before trying to process the next buy order? I could see it working either way, but I thought someone posted about placing a buy order that didn't get filled even though orders lower than it got filled after it was placed. This would have been several weeks ago, and I haven't been able to find it, but I have seen even less to indicate the opposite. Regardless, if the opposite was true, then a human hitting the button 5 seconds early would be fine. I think you are right - thats my observation as well. Placing a buy order while a sell is being processed only adds it at the end ot the queue. Though, cancel seem to have some bigger priority. There is obviously some kind of transaction processing queue and you cannot jump in the middle while the sell 3k is being slowly executed. Very slowly, BTW. That's my experience - that's why when I got up last Saturday I didn't have any PPT bonds, only an open buy order with the price that should have been bought - obviously my price adjusting bot was waking up too often - and before repricing your offer, you first need to cancel the current one. And this is why I'm not going to play like this anymore But the fact is that you cannot sell 3k bonds on GLBSE within one second - from what I saw, it takes at least 20 seconds. So why bother with your own 1 or 10 seconds lags? Who cares?

...It'd be nice if after x time, trading was locked so even if his script take 30 seconds to execute, someone's not slipping another order in.
That does not sound good. Single bonds are being auctioned off starting at a certain time. If I came into the room and offerred more than the next person, then by auction rules I am entitled to receive that bond. Perhaps, but the whole point of having it scripted is that it happens near instant. Taking 20 seconds means that even if the process to script it is automated, people can still game it... which then leads to why so much pressure to script the start if its just going to be gamed anyway? Right? The point of having it scripted is that if PPT.A is to start selling at 01:00:00, for example, then it should start selling at 01:00:00. The process it takes to finish the selling is a whole other topic. Otherwise you are allowing bids and the auction to be done before 01:00:00 and then ending the auction at 01:00:00. Just for information and point of comparison, the ASX (not sure about other stock exchanges) purposely program in a random offest either side of the schedule start of trading. Not sure whether it is to reduce sniping. Just noting that established exchanges are not accurate to the second with their opening price auctions. The time is randomly generated by ASX Trade and occurs up to 15 seconds on either side of the times given above, e.g. group 1 may open at any time between 9:59:45 am and 10:00:15 am.

I think he knows and I think he's swamped in work + support questions atm. Hopefully he finds some time to do some development work on GLBSE, the recent API for outstanding shares was a great start!
How can I get the number of outstanding shares through GLBSE API. Cannot find it. Or is it not live yet?

The way I got outstanding shares or my dividend tables was through the dividend API. It lists how many shares were paid, but it is not an up-to-date on the outstanding shares.

Gah, I had a buy order for PPT.E that disappeared when the dividend happened, and now the BTC is still listed as unavailable in my account. Does anyone know to fix that without opening a support ticket?

I'm going to make a wild guess here and predict an ASP of 1.07.
Wow, was that ever wrong. There was a total over 1 share sold at 1.07 and that was the highest. Sold down to 1.011 and I didn't get to buy due to GLBSE bugs. Boo-urns

That was weird - punched the button right on 2:00 and it threw an error at me (insufficient assets??). Went back and repeated and it went through, although later than anticipated.
I doubt an API/bot would have picked that up.

Well now you know to build an automatic retry feature into any bot you build. Just be careful, cause if you oversell, I'll be jumping on those extra shares. I didn't remember to put some spare funds into GLBSE so missed out this time, really sad.

It's a known bug. Nef has to correct it manually.

It's a known bug. Nef has to correct it manually. Thanks, I'll have to make a note of it for next week. So, unless I counted wrong the average sale price here was 1.033BTC, which is the lowest it's ever been. At that price, PPT is a steal unless you're positive Pirate won't default. 1.28/1.033 is a 24% 4 week return, even if you buy one of the uninsured Pirate pass through bonds you'd only make 26.7% 4 week return. If you can invest the weekly dividends with no inefficiency, you could increase that to 29.5%. Getting perfect efficiency reinvesting would require placing a buy order between getting the dividends and Goat buying down to 1.02 for TYGRR-P, or purchasing the 100 shares at 1.05 that bitfoo places every week after his dividend.

Lowering the bonds being released by half does not instill confidence.

Maybe selling that 6k was an error - but it also was your best deal so far 2012-04-21 1500 1.07255 2012-04-28 2000 1.08122 2012-05-05 2000 1.08374 2012-05-12 2500 1.10021 2012-05-19 6000 1.11758 2012-05-26 3000 1.03798 2012-06-02 3000 1.06625 2012-06-09 3000 1.04627 2012-06-16 3000 1.03296 Now I understand why the price of PPT.DIV has gone down to 1.0, after the last sell.

It's a known bug. Nef has to correct it manually. Unfortunately he takes forever to do this, I've had over 130 BTC tied up unusable for a fortnight now, despite posts, PMs & emails to support & his personal address.

Maybe instead of having to spend time manually fixing people's account balances, nef should add a line of code to the buyback function to cancel all outstanding orders. As an asset issuer, I would also like to see this as a separate option that may be used by the issuer before making a price sensitive announcement.

I'm hopeful you don't know what a fortnight is and you think that it means a quarter of a day, because if this takes two weeks+ to be resolved I'm going to be upset. Edit: Got this email today. Fixed.
GLBSE support. Pretty good support time on the weekend there.
