Replace "user" columns with "value" in the order book.
The order book currently holds the following columns:
- User: the user who issued the order
- Amount: the amount in the order
- 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.
