Re: Lab Rat Data Processing, LLC (LabRatMining) Official Announcement
I see a lot of user names asking about an exchange but not posting any asks or bids in the forum trading post. Why is that? The more bid/asks in the post the better the liquidity of LRM. Maybe part of the reason LR doesn't think an exchange is a priority is the lack of bids/asks/price movement? If you're going to complain about no exchange but have no skin in the game right now, it seems a bit hypocritical. Put your contracts/BTC where your mouth is and post some bids/asks.
The exchange thread is nice and all, but the audience is limited and buying and selling is (comparatively) a very slow process (not saying it's possible to do it any quicker, grnbrg). Even before LR destroyed the value of the shares and invented the BS bonus concept, trading was slow. A bona fide exchange, or means of exchange such as mastercoin/counterparty/NXT/whatever, would surely bring more liquidity. I literally can't be bothered to trade using the thread (I have done once), whereas I'd be far more likely to push a button on Havelock.
