I'm dying to know the specific techniques and incredibly frustrated you haven't listed anything specific.

The people demand answers!
Could you explain this in more detail? Or perhaps provide a specific example? I've heard people talk about DACs and such (which I also don't really understand very well). At the risk of sounding stupid, I honestly don't understand what kind of scenario this would prove useful (or at least simple enough to warrant its use over traditional methods).
Moreover, price is a function of demand. While there may be fewer transactions over the short term, those transactions may be larger in and of themselves. For instance, in April, there may have been more people purchasing single coins, but in November, there may be fewer people purchasing hundreds of coins.
Two charts do not tell the complete story.
That said, using digraph probability to solve it was inspired.

Spooner's post office was so good that no one was really using the USPS any more. He was literally running them out of business.
That is, until Congress came in and said that what he was doing was illegal. Since then, there have been no alternative post offices.
Businesses like UPS and FedEx survive because of a loophole in the law that basically allows for parcel, but not post, shipping: http://mises.org/daily/3646
That said, they recently had a big regulatory battle between UPS and FedEx. I forget the specifics, but one business was being classified differently, and thus incurring higher operating costs than the other, simply because it was classified differently... In other words - punitive tax legislation. I forget exactly what happened there, and can't find a link at the moment buuuut:
The point is this: Your example of the post office is fundamentally flawed because it doesn't take into account that the post office is protected from market forces by legislation and thus, force.
I'm not a developer/coder/anything close to one, or I would do this myself.
Come on, guys! Get on this!
"Innovation" stays safely corralled in the realm of toys, gadgets and social media. Real innovations in education, governance, the legal system, etc. that threaten the status quo fiefdoms and Power Elites are smothered at birth.
What are your thoughts on this? I know that I've had this vague sense of disappointment that the biggest, most recognizable 'innovation' we've seen this year is the Ipad - which, let's face it, the hardware has been around for years; it's just the slick iOS that brings it all together effectively... And I'm not ready to view programming as innovation, necessarily.
So what are your thoughts on this? What can be done to foster some real innovation?
EDIT: Ahahahahah! The landing page: http://www.google.cn/landing/cnexp/indexd.html is really just an image that looks like a censored search. Every user would click it, and it then redirects. Amazingly cheeky! Hopefully the technologically illiterate bureaucrats there will see that it doesn't automatically redirect, and be satisfied without digging deeper. Hahahahaha.
Aspiring bloggers take note, this is not good blogging.
So I google searched it. It's $354.99.
Don't blog like this, people. It's ridiculous to send people on wild goose chases for information.
Although, he'd probably do better to show everyone this (it's educational, hilarious and very well done): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0nERTFo-Sk
Just... Thank you for sharing this.
Turned out I had a gluten sensitivity for the longest time, and I felt loads better going off all gluten.
Soy also acts as a phytoestrogen in the male body - could potentially be counteracting testosterone production.
