Title: ANN: btctop - top for bitcoin exchanges!
Post by: donch on November 03, 2013, 03:30:59 PM
Some of you might be familiar with top, htop, atop, iotop etc. in terminal world for keeping track of what your machine is doing. Was a bit bored and thought it would be cool to do something similar for bitcoin exchanges using the bitcoincharts.com API

http://bitcoincharts.com/about/markets-api/

So here it is, the first version of a sortable, filterable view of all the exchanges listed on Bitcoincharts, in a terminal window. New trades stream in, but there is a bug when a full update occurs, it might knock out the previously streamed trades. Version 0.1 :-).

Go is great for asynchronous network jobs. This app hardly makes the best use of those facilities :-)

Tempted to add the MtGox and Bitstamp websocket order book and trade feeds next, but any feature suggestions much appreciated!
