That's awesome. How long have they been going now? How is BitGold doing?
bitUSD was first .. and is up for some few weeks now
bitCNY was second as is up for 2 or 3 weeks AFAIK
bitBTC is relatively new with just over 2 weeks
and bitGLD will probably soon launch. checkout http://www.bitsharesblocks.com/assets
Also, how frequently is collateral assessed/collected. It is done every block (every 15 seconds)? If so, it would seem that the price swing would have to be extremely severe to wipe out the collateral before the position is covered and closed. That would increase my confidence that this will keep working in the long run...
market is executed every block .. (10 seconds, btw) .. not sure if there is a 1 block delay though ..
Is the market not executed after 51 delegate signatures, but rather 101 signatures?
If 51 delegates is all that is required, wouldn't market executions occur every 5 seconds?

blocks are generated/signed every 10 seconds .. that is the raster in which operations on the blockchain can operate .. the market operations only require 1 block/signature.
the AVERAGE block time is 5 secs .. that means that you (on average) only need to wait 5 secs until your transaction is in the blockchain ..
