I've actually been wondering about this myself. Like Xeroc said it's an order, but I currently don't know how partial or complete fills of orders get recorded on the blockchain. Cancelling of orders is another thing I need to look into.

As for Mega blocks, try this one on for size:

Sure beats $7 that a traditional "discount" broker charges.

Noobish questions can go here:

It is a bid order .. so it at least appears on the blockchain .. the operation type for executed orders is AFAIK something with "filled" in it ..

The rest of what you say seems accurate .. not necessarily true .. but accurate :)

I know this is a total noob question. But does this mean that this block actually executed (i.e. someone sold a load of BitUSD ?) or that they simply placed an ASK that may or may not have been filled? Perhaps to create a temporary wall of some kind? If it is the former then I guess someone is a true believer in BitShares and has taken advantage of the currently low share price? I think I actually saw more than one block containing similar amounts.
