Title: Re: 2013-04-11 - CNBC adds a Bitcoin ticker Post by: Stephen Gornick on April 12, 2013, 08:18:02 PM Now this is big! Mainstream we are here! Agreed ... huge! Now one thing is needed. Accurate quotes. It does show "accumulating data" though. And the symbol is bad. It shouldn't be "MTGOXUSD :", it should be maybe MTGOXBTC ? (as it is the spot price of a BTC expressed in dollars). Just like AAPL :NASDAQ is a share of that stock expressed in dollars. It is too bad there isn't an ETF up and running they could quote.

Sorry, but this is so big, I'm suspicious. I don't see how this could be faked. Any ideas? Title: Re: 2013-04-11 CNBC adds a Bitcoin ticker Post by: vvic on April 13, 2013, 04:22:07 AM no MTGOXUSD is correct. It indicates $/BTC pair. there is also MTGOXEUR ticker as well

Code: (MTGOXUSD :) Well, that's the format for the exchange. e.g., (AAPL :NASDAQ). But MTGOXUSD has no exchange so it is blank (MTGOXUSD :) Title: Re: 2013-04-11 CNBC adds a Bitcoin ticker Post by: Rincewind on April 13, 2013, 05:18:46 AM They were even kind enough to add a smilie face for us!

I see a lot of outlets starting to use bitcoincharts.com, but if CNBC is looking I can create an easily to use way to grab the data. If you do it you might want to consider giving away control over it to the Bitcoin Foundation. It would make it seem more official.

Is there any information on what exact api format CNBC and others are expecting? Title: Re: 2013-04-11 CNBC adds a Bitcoin ticker Post by: alexh on April 13, 2013, 05:51:34 PM Really great!
Title: Re: 2013-04-11 CNBC adds a Bitcoin ticker Post by: grondilu on April 13, 2013, 06:24:49 PM That's great, but I'm looking forward to see them actually update their data, because I've never seen anything but https://i.imgur.com/x33Jxu4.jpg on this page. Title: Re: 2013-04-11 CNBC adds a Bitcoin ticker Post by: cbeast on April 13, 2013, 06:42:14 PM That didn't last long before they quit updating.
Title: Re: 2013-04-11 CNBC adds a Bitcoin ticker Post by: genuise on April 13, 2013, 06:42:58 PM any ideas why?
Title: Re: 2013-04-11 CNBC adds a Bitcoin ticker Post by: grondilu on April 13, 2013, 06:52:12 PM I suspect they will update it whenever bitcoins goes back below 75.51$ (if it ever does)

I mean that I suspect they are happy showing a 39% crash but would be reluctant to show any increase. Title: Re: 2013-04-11 CNBC adds a Bitcoin ticker Post by: imanikin on April 13, 2013, 07:50:20 PM So really, we just need someone to aggregate the data from all exchanges into an API-like format for places like CNBC to grab. It has long existed at BitcoinCharts (http://bitcoincharts.com/about/markets-api/)! Even the weighted USD price exists there!That's what all of us would be better-off using, instead of constantly quoting and dealing on the bogus gox rate! Instead, the weighted USD price isn't even shown on the Home page of BitcoinCharts itself! It's like we are all taking gox stupid pills here! :D Title: Re: 2013-04-11 CNBC adds a Bitcoin ticker Post by: grondilu on April 15, 2013, 01:13:58 PM Title: Re: 2013-04-11 CNBC adds a Bitcoin ticker Post by: Akka on April 15, 2013, 01:20:59 PM And green +5% look way better than red -40% :D
Title: Re: 2013-04-11 CNBC adds a Bitcoin ticker Post by: SgtSpike on April 15, 2013, 03:21:31 PM It's sort of getting updated...
0 volume. Trade Time = 9:53:00 AM (at least 30 minutes behind). No chart available. Come on CNBC... get it together! |
