#22It's live! You can see there is some activity starting: https://cryptowat.ch/gemini Also, there was a great post on /r/bitcoinmarkets by the CTO of another exchange, picking apart Gemini's technical setup. Worth a read if you're into modern frontend web development. https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/3nkxh3/gemi...
I'm not sure if 'picking apart Gemini's technical setup' is the right way to describe it, I tend to think of 'picking apart' being negative while the comments are entirely positive.
I meant it as in he scrutinized it.

#23What is the difference between this exchange and say, Coinbase, that makes it "next generation"? The website is very light on details.

From Tyler Winklevoss's answer on the Product Hunt page for Gemini:
"Gemini is a New York state limited liability trust company, we did not apply for or have a BitLicense which is a much lower standard. As a limited liability trust company we are a fiduciary, which allows us to accept both individual and institutional customers under New York Banking Law (unlike the BitLicense, which does not convey such fiduciary powers). In short, we can work with both Main Street and Wall Street."

You might want to let coinbase know that.

#28So now when does Mark Zuckerberg launch his Bitcoin exchange?
When he moves to a new neighborhood and wants to cloak the source of funds that buy up all the adjacent properties?

Yeah they are. They wern't originally but they launched 'Coinbase Exchange' a while back and now offer both their traditional broker service as well as Exchange services.
