Can we just chip in to a graph in the top-right corner that shows the exchange rate of BTC vs. USD, and leave it at that? I'm sure someone could write an extension for that.
If this market isn't being manipulated then I'm a monekey's uncle. I've been watching it on and off all afternoon, and I keep seeing it move rationally (ie price changes are a function of the size of the trade) and then irrationally (sudden discontinuities on tiny trades). For example, I just watched it decline from ~126 to 115 over a few minutes, and then suddenly jump up by +10 on a 0.03 BTC trade. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the efect of lag here, but it looks shady as heck.
Edit: Also, spreads of over 10% among different markets? Yeesh.
