New order book is here, comments welcome.

Also the API changes a little bit, pass a "separated=1" GET parameter in URLs if you don't want orders with similar price to get aggregated together.

I also added some fields in the API output.

IMO, special characters are always a pain, and should be avoided.

  • '$' is used for several currencies around the world, not just USD
  • a standard keyboard cannot always generate these symbols
  • 'USD' or 'EUR' is easily representable on most world keyboards, and terminals
  • LRUSD, LREUR, etc. are what the currency provider uses



This. ISO currency codes are way clearer and you always know what to use.

- Replace LRXXX by LR$ and LR€

It happened again..
I can reproduce what is happening.

I manually activated your order, manually checked your balance, manually triggered execution, the matching order got inactivated when it shouldn't have been, the same probably happened to your order.

Thank you very much for reporting!

I manually re-activated your order. Don't know why it was still inactive.
Probably just forgot to manually update your data after deploying the code fixes.

I agree on better separation of currencies, I got confused myself. I can think of the following options :
 - Replace LRXXX by LR$ and LR€
 - Color code
 - Tabbed order book

I like the first two, what do you think ?
Second or third.  $ is a common symbol for several currencies.

I'd prefer separated tables for each currency pair. Sorting different currencies in the same table can be confusing (0.30 LREUR/BTC != 0.30 LRUSD/BTC) and you should expect a few hundred (or thousands) entries once your exchange gets popular. Tabs or two tables side by side should be more readable.

Fixes have been deployed.
You can now trust the order book.
Apparently not.  I have an order (funded) which is displayed in Your orders, not in the main Order book.  A part of it was traded.

Different currencies should be separated in a more visible way, IMHO.

Awesome!

Ticker API and charts are the next high-priority features on my TODO.
Should be done by the end of the week-end if I manage to find a couple of hours when I'm sober Smiley

Your site https://bitcoin-central.net/ responds with 403 except in browsers (even with other user agents). That's a bit annoying because bitcoincharts' admin backend won't let me add the URL to the database.

edit: http://bitcoincharts.com now shows trade data for bitcoin central

Trade data is now available in JSON and XML at :
 - https://bitcoin-central.net/trades/all_trades.xml
 - https://bitcoin-central.net/trades/all_trades.json

It sports the same format as http://mtgox.com/code/data/getTrades.php, it just includes an extra currency field.

All timestamps are UTC.

Please PM me with an IP as I will eventually restrict the access.

Why are there orders for 0.0000 BTC/LRUSD in the order book?

That's because they're not removed upon completion.
Also you might wonder why some orders that could be matched still appear in the order book, that's just because one of the parties doesn't have the required balance to complete the trade.

So the trading works fine, it's just the order book that needs to get some attention.

Fixes are almost ready, they should get deployed tomorrow around noon UTC.

A couple of charts and all the interfaces will follow promptly.

Maybe they got caught for not complying with banking regulations or sthg? I guess it wouldn't be too risky if I always maintain a <2~3k€ balance on the bank account.
You can donate by bank transfer though :p

I'll deploy the fixes in an hour or so.

Thank you very very much for your comments and positive feedback !!



If rumors are correct they are busy with a more mt gox/bitcoin-central style trading website.
One thing is clear, it are not problems with bank regulations Smiley
