Bitcoin by MtGox Mobile (formerly branded as MtGox Live Mobile) is a mobile app that brings many of the features from the Mt. Gox exchange's website to the mobile user. The app can be used to buy and sell bitcoins, view a real-time visual display of the buy (bid) and sell (ask) orders currently open on MtGox exchange and see real time trades and trade history.

The page requires a browser that supports Websockets[1]. Apple Safari[2] and Google Chrome[3] are two such browsers that support Websockets. Firefox also supports through about:config. The website also works with any ajax browser, including android.

MtGox Live has further grown to provide an Android and iOS application and a bitcoin address shortener service, btc.to. The Bitcoin trading community can chat in the IRC Web #mtgoxlive IRC channel on Freenode.

History

This service was first seen in early May, 2011, but first appeared in the forum on May 29, 2011[4]. It first appeared under the name, mtgoxlive.bco.in but later changed it's name to mtgoxlive.com.

On July 19, 2011 the service was acquired by Mt. Gox[5].
