Is that a mushroom or a hush room?

Why is that certain? Didin't it almost happen already with Bitcoin?

Good question.

Actually there are many small exchanges that are not listed on the popular charts (and many more that have folded). 

One barrier is that it takes a lot of investment, programming, and paperwork to set up an exchange with the quality and features that clients now expect.  This initial expense doe snot depend on how much volume the exchange has.  So a new exchange starts out in the red and remains so for months.

Exchanges serving the same market compete on the basis of features, quality, fees, client service, etc.  Larger exchanges can afford more staff so they can improve faster.

Finally, given a  choice between a small and a large exchange, clients will prefer the larger one, since it has more liquidity.  That is, a largish buy or sell will get a better price on the larger exchange, even if the market price starts out the same on on both.  Thus the larger exchange will tend to grow, while the smaller one will shrink.

Maybe on Toad Road, by the Liver River, just past Mill Hill?

Thans, but I am not vey up-to-date on that either.  The last news I recall is an interview of Jun/25 with Bobby Lee, in Chinese, where he seems to rail against leverage trading and accuses Huobi and OKCoin of having restarted HFT, backtracking on that resolution:

The lack of news about Brock Pierce's Realcoin is deafening. What is he cooking?

Isn't she is the high priestess of the Church of the Silly Rhyme?

Holy Moly, ain't that so!?

I thought that most of MtGOX's  former clients were not particularly attracted to the idea of spending a couple decades in prison.  But there are exceptions, it seems. 

Well, the poll counts show that there are almost 100 people reading this thread with some frequency.  If each of them were to dump 100'000 BTC, all at the same time, the prce would probably drop a bit.

The warnings (first paragraph) are standard and all perfectly true, and the advice to stay away from bitcoin (last bullet) is good advice.   Bitcoin is a risky investment, mining is lucrative only for well-planed operations, and even experts find it difficult to protect their coins from theft.  People who do not know how computers work should not be pushed into it.

As for the ban on bitcoin-related transactions, it is an abuse of their power, but what did bitcoiners expect?  "Hi, we are your friendly bank, I understand that you want to destroy us, what can we do to help you?"

I found it at the bottom of a cup of coffee, would you believe it?

If zombies didn't exist, how would you explain my feeling that half of my brain is missing this morning?

Thanks, but not really, haven't you noticed that loss of habitat and pollution have nearly wiped out all species of movie monsters, except zombies and vampires?

Maybe because he was the lone survivor of an epidemic of a virus that turned people into sun-sensitive zombies?

Yes.  Even at 1200$/oz, the price of gold is still unsupported by its demand for actual use.  Maybe even at 400$/oz.

Gold and diamond are such superb materials, it is a pity that they are so expensive (and kept expensive in part by cartels).  It would be so nice if they were as cheap as iron and glass...

Have you noticed the title of this thread, and checked the forum stats page?

What will impede us of doing so?

Nice site! 

However, I was confused for a while because the color key in some plots was incomplete (In the Order Book, for example, there was no key for the blue line.)   Eventually it occurred to me that the key may be clipped off, and indeed the missing patches showed up one I widened the window to the full width of my display (1680 px).

Since some people will not have that many pixels, why not display the color key only once, vertically, on the right column?  (The colors had better be the same for all plots, anyway, to make the charts easier to read.)  It would also leave more space for the plots themselves.

You may consider also allowing the user to select which exchanges are to be plotted (if there is not such a feature already), perhaps up to a certain maximum.  I would rather look at OKCoin or Huobi rather than BTC-China.

Some people will want to see more than 1 year.

Three features that I miss in BitcoinWisdom and you may want to add to beat the competition: volume in log scale (Eg. did Huobi grow exponentially since it opened?), a trade-by trade plot, like this

and the ability to plot any past epoch with 1 minute resolution (which requires entering the start date-time with keyboard -- scrolling would be too cumbersome).  Bitcoincharts has this.

Another thing that may become very popular is a merged order book depth plot.  Namely, merge the order books from all exchanges (with proper shifts and conversion factors) and then compute the cumulative sums.  I believe this makes sense, since arbitrage effectively merges all exchanges into a single market -- so that, for example, a huge bid wall in China will block a price drop at Bitstamp.

All the best, --jorge
