Nope. Just a simple exe that you run. No installation, and only those who wanted to participate would have to download and run the app.

Also it probably wouldn't be too hard to code. Only thing is I know absolutely nothing about networking in Java. Hell, I barely know how to do networking sending/receiving in .NET or C++

This is just too complicated for many of the players on Opticraft. You have to remember that about 80%+ are only about 11 or 12 years old. Many of them most likely don't even know what stocks are or how to trade them.

Okay, so long as you are familar with technical stuff, this post should make sense. However, why must it be a client plugin? I  know that we could have the buttons and all, but couldn't we just have a command such as '/stock register' or '/stock login'? That way we wouldn't need to download that plugin and essentially EVERYONE gets access to it.

BTW, I looooove the idea, but god, that would take an immense amount of code, trust me. I have delved into Java before.

It wouldn't be a client mod. It would be a small executable file. The reason for it is to keep the majority of processing away from the Minecraft Main thread and to keep things tidy. Plus it would be easier to incorporate a tutorial into its own application about trading.

Plus then the exchange server itself could be written in C++ or C# instead of shitty java which is a lot more inefficient. Although C# is also somewhat inefficient due to the fact that it and java are managed code, C++ would still work great as it is unmanaged and compiled into native binary making it faster and more efficient.

Ah, okay. I see what you mean now. So, who would essentially 'control' the stock market? Optical? The Admins?
