Title: Compare coins
Post by: BCEmporium on August 25, 2011, 10:56:46 PM
Just made this small site: http://coins.ptchat.net/

It fetches data each 5 minutes from Mtgox and bitparking and will display the values of BTCUSD and solid, ixc, i0c either in alternative:BTC as also alternative:USD (which means y*x where y is that currency value in BTC and x the BTC value).

Development:

26-08: Added 10 and 15 minutes chart and info

I will add more timeframe options to the charts as soon as more data is collected.

Will look into namecoins.

EDIT: Namecoin added to the list

EDIT2: Alternative chains splited: IXC and I0C deemed weak coins / SLC and NMC deemed strong coins

It will be nice if more comprehensive information is added: difficulty, current block#, coins in existence, etc

By "weak" and "strong" is just that ones are 0.00x and others 0.0x, initially I put them toghether but you can't see any move on the 0.00x coins, just a flat line, due to the value of the 0.0x.
It doesn't mean they're actually "weak or strong", when one of them goes to 0.0x or drops 0.00x I'll reajust as needed.

That doesn't suit the site's purpouse. It's needless information there. Would be like in an EUR/USD info page you see how many EUR is CEB printing and USD is fed printing along with how in good shape are their printing machines  ;D

depends on who is viewing the page, for traders/speculators it's not important. For miners, they are more interested in $/Ghash, these information is useful.

Yes, but that's more "fast reading info" for speculators and traders, has not much interest for miners, other than check the current exchange values.

Here's what I want to pull in the first place.

Just made a few readjusts:

- 1 minute checks
- Refreshing is now done using jquery's ajax.
- Solidcoin removed.

Wow! Looks really cool now!

If you added the option to see the USD exchange rate divided by difficulty, that would be of MUCH use to miners.
