actually transfers work fine, thus if user A can transfer to user B glbse is up
and we don't need the QA sathoshi valued asset and limitations around it
who can and who can't trade it : ) if test would be based on transfer use case

if we get asset with ask .0000002 and bid .00000001 total 1000 issues we could sell back and forth with any user even w/o additional code.

er no, that asset issues 1 share only, traded at 1 satoshi. Therefore only one can be sold, and thus bought. No need for any more or for it to be public. It can only be sold/bought by 2 userids.

Actually I remembered you can transfer assets, which I don't think shows on the twitter stream. Do frozen assets show as anything different? and can they be transferred (I haven't seen what if any difference occurs on v1 against 2.0) That should be better all round, without the messing of buying / selling. Two independently running scripts monitoring the two accounts, to transfer and validate alternately. The script should be run at least every minute, 5 minutes at most.

It could be just a 1 share for an asset value of 1 satoshi. (0.00000001BTC). It is just something that could be implemented immediately for little work.

Thinking about it a little more it would require an ability to limit trades to certain User IDs as well which I don't know if GLBSE supports?

wait, someone could buy up all the stock and screw the test script ... it could work however if we behave and/or the test script would check if there is open sell order an release ~5 shares each hour for testing ... if we keep talking satoshi valued stock, should be no problem to fund such tests with real bitcoin and follow official rules. just maybe tweak the twitter stream not to publish this asset. anyway it would be probably a bit of working (and maybe twitter QA msgs would be appreciated if it's reasonable amount per day, like only make a trade if there was no activity last 60 minutes; assuming such a script would be run hourly)

I got your point of having a dedicated QA asset that could just be 'not public' and use that for trading / testing of glbse.
i want to avoid that because once we have play assets, we can also have play money within glbse and once that money leaks and ends up circulating for real assets, we've invented fractional reserves. the less fake assets the better. fake money should be taboo

Reasonable point.

unless nefario fixes 0 volume trades you can test by simply selling anything for .01 and pollute a bit the twitter stream and that's asset trade history
could just be a private twitter stream, alternatively buying and selling a 1 share asset.

... have a dummy account and tradeable item that is sold and bought every couple of minutes, which isn't visible to general users.

will this help him? ill pay the 10$ monthly fee for him if it will :/

Wouldn't help - the web server and pages are generally always available. It is the backend (bitcoind and/or database) that seems to fall over.

Because of the nature of the method used to access the accounts it would be difficult to verify using standard monitoring/logging tools. They generally use auth mechanisms that are standard over http or https. It would require a custom plugin that uses the bmc commandline tools to use.

Alternatively you could follow the GLBSE twitter feed and if no trades have occurred in 30 mins/1hour see if it is down. Or even have a dummy account and tradeable item that is sold and bought every couple of minutes, which isn't visible to general users.

I'm sure he has the means to do this himself. Don't know why he doesn't... maybe he did and it's not working fully.

it's been a while, but it seems glbse is down again ;|

It's getting ridiculous, one of the mining co.s pays divs Friday evening/Sat morning, and the site goes down, comes up, next mining co, down, repeat until Monday maybe Tuesday.

I do hope GLBSE 2.0 has database and bitcoind monitoring - it can't be that difficult to have a script that periodically polls to notice whether either is down and restart them.

But then again maybe the only way is if someone PMs nefario.

various problems happen with different frequency on glbse.

I've grown to accept it for now and refuse to worry.


I know the feeling! as long as my FPGA.contract shares don't vanish I'm happy. (I know how hard them FPGA guys work Wink)
