Replace "user" columns with "value" in the order book.

Open amingilani opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

The order book currently holds the following columns:

  1. User: the user who issued the order
  2. Amount: the amount in the order
  3. Price: the price/bitcoin of the order

Since the names of the users are obfuscated to preserve anonymity anyways, I believe the entire column can be removed.

On the other hand, what would be helpful is a value column, that calculates the entire value of the order (determined by price * amount). Other exchanges such as Bitstamp, and Cex.io use the same three columns.

Was there a particular reason the user column was adopted in the first place?

Example

Instead of:

Buyer Amount Price
Bison_899010 2.15517241 ₨ 23200
Rat_899050 0.19000000 ₨ 22800
Rat_899050 0.01000000 ₨ 22451
Ema_899010 0.02601890 ₨ 22450
Rat_899050 0.10000000 ₨ 22410

Show:

Amount Price Value
2.15517241 ₨ 23200 ₨ 49999
0.19000000 ₨ 22800 ₨ 4332
0.01000000 ₨ 22451 ₨ 224
0.02601890 ₨ 22450 ₨ 584
0.10000000 ₨ 22410 ₨ 2241

We show the obfuscted username to avoid market manipulation and increase the transparency.

I will create the value column and allow the user to select which columns he wants to see.
