No thank you..

Not dead. Is still functioning just fine. I still get fast and steady connections when I start the client. Always finds 8 peers. Difficulty and next block time is a bit jumpy though but that's to be expected at these valuations and total network hash rates I guess.

[edit]
Dev has been silent for some time now.

Add the node lists from above in your config file.

Yes, definitely. Thanks again for your vision.

Since you mention you sometimes miss leveraged trading as an option. Don't you consider it possible to use bitfinex or some other exchange for this in smaller amounts? Or isn't there a leveraged exchange at this point you trust enough to trade on it, even in smaller amounts? Or do you consider the amount of funds you would care to risk to be too little to make it worth your while to even start trading leveraged?

I consider leveraged trading something that can give a great boost to crypto-land. It could bring in huge amounts of funds and liquidity by simple swaps and interest earnings. However, it has to be done right. And apparently at this point something seems to be missing on that front?

That's actually helping me oda.krell, thanks a lot for your input.

Just wondering.. any specific reason you're not trading on Bitfinex or Huobi instead, since you mentioned yourself you'd have better prices on those exchanges? I have my reasons for not trading on bitfinex. Don't know Huobi to be honest..

Anyways, thanks again for your reply

Bump..

Really, any info / thoughts / ... is very much appreciated. I am sure there must be SOME info out there?

Hi all,

At the moment I am running some performance tests on one of my projects, and I am trying to put my measurements into some perspective. To do this, I would like some feedback to make sure I'm not missing or miscalculating anything.

Some facts taken into account:
- The trading engine of (late) MtGox was reported and discussed to be able to handle about 32-ish trades per second. Which is considered to be pretty low.
- I cannot find any reports of the bitstamp (or ie coinsetter) trading engine anywhere mentioning orders/sec or order delays, and have not build any timing or persormance checking tools for these (yet). Coinsetter has order limits per user and claims órder execution in miliseconds', but they do not note how much orders their engine can handle anywhere.
- Bitstamp is one of the biggest exchanges, with the largest liquidity and orderbook (give of take a few % compared to any other)

In my search for some practical real-life data, I found some useful information in the Bitstamp API, which tells me about their orderbook on this link:
https://www.bitstamp.net/api/order_book/?group=0

If I read this data correctly, the entire orderbook, both asks and bids, combined is only about 13k orders. This report actually covers all orders, since the lowest reported price on that link is 0-ish USD/BTC, and the highest is 100k-ish USD/BTC. I am a bit surprised by this conclusion, since I expected the total orderbook to easily surpass 100k orders, maybe even close to 500k orders.

I was shocked about the MtGox trading engine performance when I initially read about it, but knowing the total orderbook of Bitstamp right now is only about 13k orders made me re-evaluate this feeling, and actually made my jaw hit the floor all over again.

Now, the part where you come in :-)
- Am I missing something here?
- Does anyone have any clue how high order delays on Bitstamp (or other exchanges) are or how high they can get at times the trading engine is really slammed with orders?
- How much orders per second can Bitstamp or any other Bitcoin exchange at this point handle?

Your input is much appreciated. Thank you very much.

Did those work for you Kracko?

I will add some more later; I just fired up my client a minute ago. But now you at least have got some to get you started.

Are there any XenCoin accepting sites at this moment? Is there an overview somewhere?
Except for the exchanges, obviously :-)

@thecarnie: Keep up the good work. Nice to see there is active development on this coin!

Hi all,

I noticed this block explorer is back up and running:

http://bit.usr.sh:2750/chain/Tigercoin

Try to add these lines to your tigercoin.conf file:


If that doesn't work, check whether your system clock is in sync with the rest of the world.
