I am working on an open-source exchange. It has not been tested thoroughly yet.

It is a very simple exchange, all in python. Probably can not handle more than a few thousand users. I took a different strategy on security, I think that it is WAY simpler this way, and there is much less risk.

Please take a look at it, and tell me what you think.

This looks interesting. Can you tell me more about it, show me pictures (screenshots), etc.? I've hung out at mcxNOW and think his software is pretty interesting (word is he's going to v2.5 soon). It got me interested in trying to get an exchange going myself, but one that is as bullet-proof as possible, with customer investment protection as priority #1. If customers don't feel their money is safe, they are far less likely to invest, period. Why have an exchange nobody feels they can trust?

Can I run this software on my own computer(s) at home (i.e. it's all self-contained, no 3rd party hosting elsewhere)? Do I need to change my Cox Internet account to something business-oriented, if I do this?
