I have to say, this is both impressive and infuriating; they beat me to it!

My effort was started in Nov. 2014, and is similarly written in Go. Clocking in at ~1600 LoC, it is certainly nothing special. I have no background in finance and only a cursory understanding of the technical aspects of the exchanges. It's mostly working, but I've really stalled because I can find neither a real purpose to continue, nor any resources on building interesting models. All it does is make financial noise (random trades between similarly irrational parties)

All in all, I'm happy for the guys working on this for doing what I apparently couldn't.

If anyone's interested, I'd be happy to post it to Github.




After a bit of stage fright (and Git/Markdown reeducation), here it is.

You'll be a little bit late to the party, but why not repurpose into a bitcoin exchange :) Everyone else seems to have done it.


I'm interested.


Alright, I'll clean it up and post it ASAP. Beware, it's (probably) awful, terribly unidiomatic code; I'm not a professional.


Thanks for sharing.

I'm only a Go novice myself, but it doesn't look bad to me. Doesn't need to be perfect for me to learn something from it.
