Title: BlockTrades pricing engine updated
Post by: dannotestein on July 26, 2015, 11:00:10 pm
We've updated our pricing engine to search the web for the best prices across a large number of markets (including multi-hop transactions). This means we can offer better prices than ever before across many of our conversion pairs, especially BTC -> BTS (our most popular pair). If you're looking to buy some BTS, now's a great time to check out the new prices we can offer!

Yes, we have jidenticons in the "new GUI", but we didn't want to rollout too many updates at once. We plan to update to the new GUI today or tomorrow (we completed that work a while back, but we're fairly conservative about updates to code that is working and we rated the market engine improvements as the most important).

Are you guys integrating with the Cryptonomex web-wallet or MoonStone?

Yes, we are integrating with several wallets, including the Cryptonomex wallet, as well as bitshares-related websites. We haven't talked with Moonstone guys yet, but we're certainly open to integrating with them as well.

We'll almost certainly want to take you up on that offer before too long, cass. The current GUI update is a mostly "invisible" one from the user-perspective, since it's mainly a change in the way we dynamically create the content (this also gives a performance boost in the rendering, although that's not really a significant factor in the simple GUI we have now). In fact, the biggest visual change I can think of is the replacement of the robots with the jidenticons that xeroc mentioned. So, while there's been a lot of changes behind that little blue cube, they don't show much on the surface :-)
