Looks awesome! Two quick questions: 1) Your site looks very similar to bitcoinwisdom ( which i love). Did that come about by coincidence or design? Are there any open source tools that you were able to build off of that bitcoinwisdom also uses? 2) Could you build out support for visualizing financial markets like stocks and the price of oil? The bitcoin ecosystem has a bunch of great UI, but it's difficult to find good web products for actual securities

Thanks. I definitely looked at Wisdom when I was starting the project, but I've gone in different directions than they have. For example, a strong emphasis of my service is the ability to integrate your accounts on various Bitcoin exchanges and visualize your orders and trades (http://i.imgur.com/KxxtGFA.gifv http://i.imgur.com/KxxtGFA.gifv). I'm actually slowly turning it into a proper trading platform, with order execution. On the other hand, BitcoinWisdom are still happy just serving charts with ads. I'm not sure what they use to build their app. No part of mine is open source except tiny bits of d3, and jQuery. Wrt supporting other types of markets, I'd love to. The reason Bitcoin has had a wave of nice web-based interfaces is because the exchanges all offer free-to-use HTTP APIs. The "old-world" financial markets all charge money for data access, and it's generally not as easy to consume either. Bitcoin markets were born into the web era.
