There is about three hours and 15 minutes remaining until trading begins. It's 06:14:09 am EDT time in New York, and trading officially begins at 9:30 AM EDT. I found out the time in New York at this website.
I hope they publish a page on the Gemini website showing the order book after trading starts. It's annoying if the only way to view it is to log in, especially if you aren't registered.
That would definitely be quite annoying and a bad move. I will definitely not be registering just to view the order book, even though I often like looking at it and analyzing in my free time. We're pretty close to launch now. Hopefully there will be no bugs or problems at initial release.


I found an API link for their order book, but there's only a few trades showing on it, and they all have exactly the same unix timestamp. That makes me wonder if the data is correct, or test data.

https://api.gemini.com/v1/book/BTCUSD

Can someone who's registered there post a screenshot of the order book, or let us know if their API is showing correct data please?

Thanks  intristin

It is very good news. More are the exchanges more are the chances to have good prices in buying and selling bitcoins. Hope that others will open and be live in the future. And hope long life of every of those.

I wasn't aware they were only operating in the US. That's slightly disappointing but like you said the more avenues people have to buy bitcoin the better.

Come on Yanks get buying.

Today is the day then, it's early morning in the US, outside of business hours in most States.
Will we see any kind of reaction in the price today or is this another false dawn?

We will find out in about 15 minutes.

Total bullshit , they should at least let us register even if we aren't from USA ... It needs your phone number when you make an account to finish registration I guess ...
I tried my country , nothing , France nothing .. UK nothing ..  Undecided Not sure what's the point to only make an exchange in USA only .

It's kind of a brilliant strategy to be honest, they are kind of stroking the egos of regulators which will most likely lead to faster and better acceptance and a seat at the table when new regulations are proposed that might affect their service.
I concur. This is actually a good move as regulators from other countries will not want to be left behind. Gemini has a great potential if they try to get fully regulated in as many markets as possible. Customers should not complain though as they have plenty of alternatives that will allow them to register and trade. We're nearing launch and the price of Bitcoin has reached its highest level since mid August (yesterday) already.

So in 3 hours Gemini will launch. Let's see what influence this will have on the price the next few hours. I say that price will stay the same.However it is kind of exciting to follow the Gemini launch because it took them so much time.
Winkle twins back in Bitcoin action right?! Cheesy
They never left Bitcoin. Nobody is saying that the price will skyrocket. I'm asking myself what affect it is going to have? This means that the price could: A) Increase; B) Decrease; C) Stay the same.

They are doing everything by the book as they don't want to offend regulators in any jurisdiction they want to enter. They want to be seen and known as totally legitimate and in 100% compliance with all local laws in every market they serve. So they are unlikely to allow users to register that live in a market that they are not fully licenced in. As such a move could offend officials in the market. It's kind of a brilliant strategy to be honest, they are kind of stroking the egos of regulators which will most likely lead to faster and better acceptance and a seat at the table when new regulations are proposed that might affect their service.

It's 8 October here , anyone knows if they launched yet ? because I don't see anything on their website says that they launched (not sure if they are supposed to show anything on the first place)
I doubt so. It is early in the morning in Europe. I doubt that they would be launching Europe time. It's probably going to launch within a few hours hopefully without any errors or problems. If someone has an account please post picture of the order book or something. I wonder how the price will react if this launch is successful.

While this is definitely positive, how more exchanges do we need?

Crytpsy and Bitrexx volume is off approx 85% for their peaks.   

The excitement is like when Coinsetter was announced...and now you never hear anything about them.

Not a game changer.
 
A fully decentralized exchange is a game changer. Something that cant be touched by the powers that be.

In the future, if people get paid and use bitcoin directly, we do not need so many exchanges.

Jim Cramer just screamed "Boo YAAA !! "

Wall Street's answer to MtGox is what?  

...

another centralized exchange.  

yawn.  borrring.   Tongue

Wall Street's answer to MtGox is too regulated to Gox its customers. It's insured in case if it ever gets hacked, or finds its cold wallet has mysteriously leaked its coins, not that I think that's going to happen. Gemini is what Bitcoin needs to counteract all the damage Gox did to Bitcoin's image. I'd trust it 1000 times more than an exchange run by one fat bloke in Japan who's wanted for hacking crimes he committed in France.

I must agree with you. Exchanges like Gemini can only do good to us and they are necessary in order to fix all the crap that Mt. Gox has caused us and which all of the Bitcoin's opponents are so gladly remembering each time they have to bash Bitcoin all over again.

You forget something which must be VERY important to BTC community. It seems it was forgotten; The anonymity. The core of BTC. Smiley

Gemini, Coinbase and others like them are bringing what you didn't want.... regulation, taxes, GOVs which will know everything you make with your coins and so on.

How is with stories like BTC is made for anonymity, privacy? Smiley
