Title: What exchanges to include? Post by: Mcoroklo on October 20, 2013, 07:17:32 PM I am creating a service, where I have to make implementations to different Bitcoin exchanges. In this scenario, I have the use case "Find the cheapest place to buy Bitcoins, and purchase for 100$".
Currently, I thought about using: - Bitstamp - Btc-E However, some questions: - Are there more exchanges we should consider? I don't see MtGox as a serious option and want to avoid them - Currently Btc-E is 8$ cheaper than Bitstamp, why is that? Why would anyone ever buy the Bitstamp then? - Are there always volume enough to buy at a consistent price at these exchanges? Title: Re: What exchanges to include?

AFAIK, when sending USD to btc-e you must pay a high transactio fee. Title: Re: What exchanges to include? Post by: MAbtc on October 20, 2013, 11:27:38 PM I've heard it's hard to fund a BTC-E account with dollars. I'm not sure -- I funded it P2P on the forum originally and have since only deposited BTC, not fiat. But yeah, Bitstamp and BTC-E.... maybe CampBX? Do they have any market share at this point? BTCChina maybe, for reference, since the Chinese market has become more important. No idea what it takes to fund a CNY account, though.
Title: Re: What exchanges to include? Post by: Mitchell on October 20, 2013, 11:30:38 PM Use BitCoinAverage's API. It gives the current price on all the big exchanges for a lot of currencies.
Example: https://api.bitcoinaverage.com/exchanges/EUR Title: Re: What exchanges to include? Post by: Mcoroklo on October 22, 2013, 01:15:07 PM Wow, the BitcoinAverage API is really nice.
Does anyone have good experiences with other exchanges? :) Thanks a lot for the answers so far. Title: Re: What exchanges to include? Post by: nobbynobbynoob on October 22, 2013, 01:24:29 PM Could now add BTCChina, and use a tool like XE.com to autoconvert the exchange rate into USD or whatever.
Title: Re: What exchanges to include? Post by: Mitchell on October 22, 2013, 02:21:47 PM Wow, the BitcoinAverage API is really nice. I like mcxNOW, but that is an altcoin exchange, so I don't know if you have any use for it.Does anyone have good experiences with other exchanges? :) Thanks a lot for the answers so far. Have fun using their API. I really like it :3 Title: Re: What exchanges to include? Post by: AsiaNexgen on October 23, 2013, 05:30:16 PM You could include our exchange anx.hk (http://anx.hk) ;D
Title: Re: What exchanges to include? Post by: daybyter on October 23, 2013, 09:46:23 PM You want to create public API implementations? What language are you using? Maybe we could share some code? I use java..
