Improved graphing in ob-watcher

[chris-belcher]

More graphs would be useful. Perhaps graphs like those on http://bitcoinity.org/markets which show the depth of the orderbook at a given coinjoin amount.

This would need talking to some trader / algo types, and investors and heavy users to see exactly what kind of information they'd find useful

[chris-belcher]

aside: there should be a button which makes the bot request orderbook again, in case of ping timeouts and bot's orders being left in the database

An interesting graph could be of implied relative fee vs coinjoin amounts. Implied relative fee meaning you take absolute fee orders divided by coinjoin amount.

With reference to this quote
think how many individual people own 0.01btc and how many own 100btc. It should be obvious which is more scarce and can command the higher fee.

Such a graph would tell us exactly how much proportionally cheaper it is to join 0.01btc than 100btc

Another one could be a 3D graph of a histogram of coinjoin amount and implied relative fee. It would probably be much easier to read than all the graphs currently on the /depth page of ob-watcher.py

edit: Isometric view and filled contour plot.

Log scales are good and useful because power law distributions of wealth and income.

Some kind of interface which describes to people how the weighted random order choosing works. They type in a coinjoin amount and it shows all the suitable orders along with a probability, plotted on a nice graph so the exponential decay is obvious.
