Title: Bitcoin Exchange Rates On Wolfram
Post by: thallium205 on June 15, 2011, 07:59:11 AM
In an effort to get past the newbie restriction on the forums, I thought I would let y'all know that if you try and compare bitcoin to other currencies on Wolfram|Alpha, it won't work.  As a result, I left them feedback at the bottom.  This is their (generic) response after I let them know to try and include it - I'm sure if enough people do this we could get this on.  Haha

I've successfully used that form to get them to change something before, it was something like 'earth vs moon' and 'size of earth vs moon'. query B showed a picture and query A didn't. I told them they should change that and they did.

Anyway. They might be more inclined to change this if offered the historical data that bitcoincharts.com uses to make their charts.
