Its great, but about 90-95% is ASICMINER

True, but that's the case at bitfunder as well. ASICMiner has truly grown into a beast. Smiley

Haha, no. He does great and I really really like it! Smiley

But slow refresh followed by CloudFlare's logo is just mean. ;(

btct.co becomes what Gox was some weeks ago. ~.~

Oh come on now, that's not fair  Undecided Burnside will provide updates and ensure that people still own their shares. Such is life when a certain asset sky rockets...

Totally agree.  It should now show "Market Buy", "Market Sell", "Option Buy", or "Option Sell".  Note that all trades prior to right now erroneously will show as "Market Sell".  Not much I can do about that, we were only tracking it in our logging, not in the db, so it'd be a horrible pain to try to import the data retroactively.

Cheers.



Awesome, thank you very much!

I'd like to chart the volume of bids and asks separately, but I'm running into a problem with the data returned by the API.

An example from the tradeHistory URL (https://btct.co/api/tradeHistory):

{"ticker":"ASICMINER-PT","quantity":"1","amount":"2.03530000","timestamp":"1369073859"}

There's no mention of whether this filled a buy order or a sell order.

I also checked the individual stock history, but the same goes here (Marketorder is not an indicator of bid or ask, just the type of order..):

{"ticker":"COGNITIVE","quantity":"1","amount":"0.21501600","timestamp":"1369088209","type":"Market"}


Is there any way you could add that information to the API?   I think determining this in some other way would be non-trivial..

Is it possible to sell direct shares on BTC-TC if I only own small amount ?

Yes.  Check out the ASICMINER-PT thread here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/btctcasicminer-pt-public-trading-of-asicminer-shares-148350

Cheers.

Could you take in consideration a slight change in the way gAuth gets enabled by a user? Something similar to Bitfunder, that always shows the qr code and the associated secret key. I'm asking this because yesterday the site didn't show me the qr code to me and I got locked out. I already resolved the problem thanks to burnside.

I have a problem.

Trying to buy some shares and it gives me this error:

Invalid Bid Input.

 Huh
Are you using commas (,) ?

No.  Sad



Um, you can't buy half a share.

Quick heads up.  I won't have access to the cold wallet for ~36 hours starting 3 hours from now.  If you have a big withdrawal you need to do, please schedule it within the next 3 hours.

Cheers.

Somewhat hard to explain if you haven't seen the asset issuer's dividend interface.  An issuer has two options to choose from, "Issue a lump sum, divided amongst the shares", or "Issue a fixed amount per share".  That "alt_per_share_amount" is only populated when the issuer uses the latter option.

Hope that makes sense.  Wink

Cheers.


Cool, thanks, that makes sense.  Smiley   Btw, I've added dividends to the charts at http://fnords.dontexist.com

That's awesome.  Wink  Nice work!

I'm pulling down the dividend data from the API for my charting software, and something I notice is that on many of the dividents, the per-share amount is listed as 0, despite there being a total payout to multiple shares.  For example, here is an excerpt from MININGCO.ETF:

https://btct.co/api/dividendHistory/MININGCO.ETF

{"ticker":"MININGCO.ETF","process_time":"1368665715","amount":"0.04877388","alt_per_share_amount":"0.00000000","shares_paid":"127","status":"COMPLETE","id":"701"}


Some of the assets have all of the per share payouts listed, others have none, and some only have before a certain date range.

I can calculate this myself with the existing 'amount' and 'shares_paid' data, but I figured I would let you know..

Thanks burn.

Those features sound great. What if, it comes time to auto-execute, but you don't have enough BTC, but it would make sense per your formula to sell at Bid shares of that security to make the trade minus any remaining cash automatically? That would be kinda cool.

I guess my question is I still can't tell if I bought or sold this option:

It shows "List on Market" like your page shows, but then recall down below, and I can't find any trade history suggesting either?



Ahhh, yeah, it's showing you holding an option that you wrote.  There's no exercise because it's your own option.  When you first wrote it it should have been listed on the market as well but it looks like you might have cancelled the listing.

The recall button is for canceling unsold options.  Since none have sold, the recall button will essentially cancel the entire lot of options you wrote.

I highly recommend having a good understanding of options before writing any.  It can be fairly risky.

Hope that helps somewhat!

Cheers.
