Out of curiosity, how do you reliably measure the amount of bitcoin exchange going on OTC?

Obviously you don't reliably measure it, you're stuck guessing. Otherwise you'd have exact %s.

Depending on how well connected you are that guess is going to be more or less accurate (which is why the guesses of the unconnected are so way off the mark).

OK, that is what I thought.

I wonder how much of the volume reported at exchanges is real, and how much is just them trading with themselves to make themselves look more respectable? With all the shit that went down from MtGox, can we really trust the numbers they self-reported?
