Fireball: Randomizing the clearing time to a 5,10,15min window would be a very good thing
(also, is a scroll bar on the orderbook so challenging? I can't believe this is still not fixed yet....it's just not that complex to solve IMO, but it IS having an major effect on traders - please don't wait for additional updates. It's always better to push updates to live with fewer changes than updates with More changes 

MPOE-PR - I gotta wonder....did MP get squeezed out? I had some suspicion that MP was one of the larger hands trading at ICBit once GLBSE shutdown. I also note that MP has a history of establishing risky short positions (i.e. his synthetic pirate pass through).

Do I trust Fireball? Nope. But I don't get the sense that he's the market manipulator.

Do I trust Mircea? Not anymore than fireball. I have not more "proof" of MP's identity than I do of Fireball's, really, and definitely have no more or less recourse in either case against a nefarious exchange operator.

In the end, though, I gotta trade somewhere. So, I trade where the exchange operators seem to be as honest as possible, and as communicative as possible.

The one thing I find most disturbing about accusations, is that most humans seem to accuse others of those faults, flaws, and outright criminal behavior, that they themselves are guilty of. MPOE-PR, you post about pretty much every other trading related site, in a negative way. I'm starting to wonder how many of your accusations are based in MP's own behavior (and not that of the competing exchange being accused). That notwithstanding, MP's opinion on other exchanges has been pretty well-founded, and predictions of doom have oft been correct. So...................

TBH, I'm getting a little nervous. One of these leverage platforms are going to crash & burn. ICBit? MPEx/MPOE? Bitfinex? I'd like to be completely out before it does this time, dammit.
